DON’T NOD's Newest Game, Aphelion, Gets Release Date and Is Available for Pre-Order on Consoles

Last summer, DON’T NOD studio (Remember Me, Life is Strange, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage) announced their new IP—Aphelion. The game is featuring two astronauts, Ariane Montclair and Thomas Cross, who are stuck on a frozen and uncharted planet, Persephone, and have to find each other during their mission.

Just like previous installments from DON’T NOD, Aphelion is likely to be focused on story, character development, and atmosphere. The game has recently also received a huge update: the release date of Aphelion is currently set on April 28, with the pre-orders having become available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S for $34.99. However, for some reason pre-orders for the PC version on Steam are not available yet. You can also check out the synopsis of Aphelion below:

“Set in a near-future where Earth faces collapse, Aphelion is an emotional journey to the edge of our Solar System to survey a planet that may be humanity’s last hope. Our latest tale follows two European Space Agency astronauts: Ariane Montclair and Thomas Cross. Following their crash landing on the uncharted planet Persephone, they must brave harsh landscapes, master survival tools, gather crucial information, and navigate reality-bending phenomena in a desperate mission to reunite.

Aphelion blends our signature emotional storytelling with immersive exploration and traversal, mystery, and tense stealth gameplay. What begins as a totally compromised mission becomes an adventure into the unknown. As you explore the frozen world of Persephone, you’ll gather information on the planet’s strange conditions and what could’ve caused the crash of Ariane and Thomas’s ship, the Hope 01.“
