Gather round, space nerds and strategy fanatics! We’ve got some news straight from the cosmos that’s going to make your day. The brilliant minds at Auroch Digital and Secret Mode are preparing to launch us into a fresh adventure with Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life. And guess what? They’ve teamed up with none other than Professor Konstantin Batygin, a leading space scientist and all-round cool guy, to ensure this journey to the stars is as real as it gets.
Announced at Tacticon, the strategy-focused digital convention that has us all buzzing this week, Professor Batygin, a Planetary Science maestro at Caltech, will be infusing his expertise into all aspects of Mars Horizon 2. He’ll be lending his extensive knowledge to everything from mission design to verifying the facts in the game’s Spacepedia. Fancy a space adventure that’s not just fun, but also on point with its science? You’re in for a treat!
It’s fair to say that Batygin isn’t just any old scientist. He’s made waves in the field of Solar System Exploration, particularly with his work on Planet 9 – that’s the enormous celestial body that orbits our sun way beyond Pluto, for those not in the astro-know. His involvement guarantees an authenticity to Mars Horizon 2 that’s going to make you feel like you’re truly exploring the cosmos and searching for life in the universe.
Dr Tomas Rawlings, Studio Director at Auroch Digital, is chuffed to bits with this collaboration. “In the anticipated sequel to Mars Horizon, players will be ‘searching for life’ and pushing their understanding and expectations of physics and space exploration,” he says. This partnership ensures the game replicates the wonder and novelty experienced by the real pioneers of space exploration. Pretty cool, right?
As for the game itself, Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life is a space management game that’ll put you in charge of a space agency on a mission to find life. You’ll manage staff, build bases, design and launch rockets, and plan missions. You’ll write a new space history each time you play. Following the first Mars Horizon where you rewrote history, now you’re about to make history. Will you be the first to find evidence of life out there?
The countdown has begun, Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life will launch in 2024. So, buckle up and get ready for a space adventure that’ll make you feel like you’ve stepped into the boots of a real space explorer. Available to Wishlist on Steam now.
