Lunar Strike is coming out in late summer, with a demo in May
Forget Artemis II, lunar bases are already at dusk here
The independent Belgian studio Cognition announces the arrival of a demo for its debut work, Lunar Strike. The demo version will be available starting next month on PC via Steam, as part of Steam Next Fest. Lunar Strike is a narrative adventure set in the year 2119, following the events of Bo, a young archivist sent to document the last human base on the Moon; following an act of sabotage, her journey will become a matter of survival.
The Sci-Fi of Lunar Strike
Lunar Strike aims to be a product of hard science fiction, faithfully respecting current physical and astronomical knowledge: for example, the protagonist Bo will have to adapt to the lower gravity of our satellite and watch out for the potentially toxic effects of the dust that covers it, Regolith. This title will not have a combat system, preferring to focus the player's attention on decisions and their moral consequences.
When and Where Lunar Strike is Released
Also today, Cognition shared an introductory video in which creative director Brian Pope briefly presents his work. According to Pope, Lunar Strike is expected to launch towards the end of summer, on PC via Steam. At a later time, this sci-fi title should also arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
