WSA command has just informed us that episode 2 of the making of documentary is now available for your viewing!
Episode 2 focuses on the process of releasing a game in early access, and the risks involved - as well as how a chance meeting at Boston PAX introduced KeokeN and Wired and sent DUTM to the stars.
As we approach the launch of Deliver Us The Moon on Stadia for the first time, and a free Next Gen upgrade for the newest generation of consoles, we take a look back at the making of our award winning sci-fi adventure from the mouths of developers KeokeN themselves in our latest addition to #WiredLive.
Dear Astronauts, after a long time remaining silent about new projects, we can finally deliver AMAZING news!
Deliver Us Mars, a thrilling new narrative-driven game from Dutch development team KeokeN Interactive. Coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 as well as PC for Steam and the Epic Games Store, the first teaser trailer is now available.
Taking players on a journey across the Red Planet for an all-new story, Deliver Us Mars is the sequel to 2019’s atmospheric puzzle-adventure game Deliver Us The Moon. Frontier Foundry is collaborating with KeokeN Interactive to help the studio realise its creative goals for this third-person sequel, which involve a radical step forward in both gameplay and narrative presentation.
In the first teaser trailer for Deliver Us Mars, we pick up in the immediate aftermath of a ship crash-landing, where we catch a glimpse of our mysterious new protagonist. Uncovering and reactivating her companion drone, a familiar presence to fans of Deliver Us The Moon, the teaser ends with a stunning reveal of the Mars landscape that will form the main setting of the game.
Set 10 years after Deliver Us The Moon’s Fortuna mission, Deliver Us Mars expands on the events of its predecessor, building on its more grounded approach to sci-fi storytelling while enriching the gameplay experience. While fans of the original will appreciate the deep connections between the games, this gripping adventure stands on its own, offering a compelling entry point for new players as well. Players can look forward to numerous new mechanics in this sequel, including a climbing system that will enable their character to readily traverse the terrain of Mars.
The Deliver Us series introduces players to a world where Earth’s resources are depleted, necessitating humanity’s further ventures into space. Originally crowdfunded through Kickstarter, the award-winning first game garnered a passionate fan base. Players can expect a handcrafted, emotional and exciting narrative experience in this new adventure, boosted by lovingly created sound, motion capture and visual design.
Further information about Deliver Us Mars will be revealed throughout the coming months.
