Fort Solis is set on Mars aboard an isolated mining facility, where players must investigate the missing crew, solving mysteries and making crucial discussions along the way, with the goal of escaping the compound. With the power of Unreal Engine 5, the game offers players a totally immersive experience in the dark reaches of space.

And the game itself is said to be inspired by titles such as Until Dawn and Firewatch, with the emphasis of immersion and narration. And with four chapters to Fort Solis, players can choose either to binge them all in one sitting or choose to approach it like a Netflix series and play it episodically.

James Tinsdale, Game Director at Fallen Leaf had the following to say on the upcoming game;

“We wanted Fort Solis to tell a story through a mix of interactivity and artistry

He went further on what players can expect from Fort Solis when it launches in a few weeks and he’s hoping that it could appeal to non-gamers also;

“Using state of the art mo-cap performances, high fidelity Unreal Engine 5 graphics, music by legendary composer Ted White, and our all-star cast of professional actors, we sought to create a truly immersive experience that grounds players in this sci-fi mystery. With our cinematic ‘story-first’ approach, we wanted to distill the essence of a sci-fi thriller into a format that anyone can play, including non-gamers.”

Fort Solis has some well known talent

The game itself has some voice talents that gamers will know all too well. The lead character in Fort Solis, Jack Leary is voiced by none other than Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2). He is supported by a stellar cast which include, Troy Baker (The Last of Us, Death Stranding) and Julia Brown (The Last Kingdom, World on Fire). And Roger Clark has been quite vocal about the exciting new title on his Twitter page.

“I mean two of the best talents in video games are coming together for a project, it definitely is one of the biggest games this year…”

“Event Horizon meets Deep Space Meets Aliens vibes … looks super awesome!!!”

And if you’ve not watched the trailers for this game as yet, that last comment tells you all you need to know about it.
