'Into The Stars' Picked Up By Iceberg Interactive - Trailer

Into the Stars is an Unreal Engine 4 powered open-world space survival simulation.

We’ve been under attack for 10 years now. Every 6 months a new group of them arrives set on destroying our planet and now few of us remain to defend what’s left. The massive ships we’ve built in hopes of escaping them have all gone, save one. As the captain of our final vessel, you must guide an inexperienced crew on a journey fraught with mystery and danger. The fate of the fleet is uncertain and you could well be our last hope. How will you fare once you set out Into the Stars?

Take the role of Captain as you explore a massive solar system in search of a new home for humanity. Outfit your ship, hand pick your crew and set off on a journey where you must scavenge resources, shelter civilians and outrun a hostile alien force in order to survive.

Your ship, the Ark 13, is the last to leave our besieged planet and you are at the helm. But before you set out, some decisions must be made: Which modules will you choose to take with you and who will manufacture them? What resources will fill your limited cargo holds and which crew members will you take under your wing?

“As our fans know, we love sci-fi and space games at Iceberg Interactive, and being able to take the role of a Starship Captain, making decisions on the very survival of the human race is right up our street. We have the utmost confidence in Fugitive’s abilities to create an epic experience, and we are very much looking forward to showing our audience just how great a job these guys have done putting INTO THE STARS together, very soon”, says Erik Schreuder, CEO at Iceberg Interactive.

“Our team at Fugitive is made up of only four developers, and solidifying a strong partner to help fill in the gaps will ensure that Into the Stars is the robust title that our fans deserve. Iceberg Interactive has a firm appreciation of the sci-fi genre that, along with their focus on quality, makes them an excellent choice to publish the game this summer”, noted Ben Jones, Development Director at Fugitive Games. 

Once in flight, your responsibilities as Captain will push your limits:

  • Monitor the condition of your crew, civilians and modules
  • Ensure a steady flow of resources for your Modules
  • Explore derelict ships and dangerous planets with Landing Parties
  • Engage aliens of all types in Trade and Combat
  • Navigate a solar system filled with celestial bodies, asteroids and mines
  • Evade a pursuing enemy determined to destroy you

The soundtrack for Into The Stars was written by legendary composer Jack Wall, renowned for his music scores in titles like Mass Effect, Call of Duty and Lost Planet.

Into The Stars is scheduled for a Steam Early Access release this summer.
