Deliver Us Mars, the highly anticipated follow-up to the critically acclaimed, Deliver Us the Moon, has just had its story trailer dropped as part of Gamescom, which showcases how much further developer KeokeN Interactive intends to take its sci fi narrative.



Here's some more info:

Story is truly at the heart of Deliver Us Mars. This trailer shows the ways in which KeokeN Interactive is building on the acclaimed first game in the series, Deliver Us The Moon, using a full cast of motion-captured actors to bring the characters to life. This results in an expansive and powerful narrative for players to experience.

In Deliver Us Mars, players take on the role of astronaut-in-training Kathy Johanson. This trailer spotlights the complicated nature of Kathy’s motivations in this game: she wants to help retrieve Earth-saving technology from Mars in order to preserve humanity’s future, which is the ultimate objective of the mission. But she also wants to find out if her long-lost father, Isaac, is still alive, after a mysterious transmission from the Red Planet suggests it’s a possibility. That goal, however, is not shared by her crew mates.

This standalone sequel has taken a huge step forward in gameplay mechanics over its predecessor. Players will enjoy precision-based climbing mechanics that evoke classic action-platformer games, as well as a set piece-style approach to puzzle design that builds in challenge over the course of the game.

The game is set to drop on February 2 of next year for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
