Players guide ION, a small android exploring a massive alien world, as he uncovers the mysterious cause of his wreck. ION's dangerous search results in encounters with towering wildlife, remnants of ancient civilizations and harsh elements like scorching deserts and bitter cold plains.

Early in his journey ION meets ANI, a smaller robot that becomes a constant companion. ANI's sharpshooting provides a robot leg-up in combat and keeps colossal enemies at bay while ION's greater mobility helps the pair traverse the strange landscape. Only together can the team overcome nearly impossible odds.

ION will shield ANI from treacherous beasts and unforgiving hazards as she becomes more vulnerable to the relentless elements. Keeping the team safe by discovering and sometimes creating safe paths through the world, while outwitting the planet's inhabitants and gathering resources to craft tools to return home will be the key to survival and triumph.

"It's been a wonderful experience seeing this project transform from a concept into reality and everyone on the team is eager for the PC gaming community to see ION and ANI's story unfold."
