Aphelion is a narrative-driven sci-fi adventure from DON’T NOD


DON’T NOD has announced its latest game, Aphelion. Aphelion will be a narrative-driven sci-fi adventure game. It will come out in 2026, and below you can find its debut gameplay trailer.

By 2060, Earth will be too dangerous to live on. Scientists have found a new planet called Persephone, far away in space. It might be the best chance for humans to survive. The European Space Agency sends two astronauts, Ariane and Thomas, on a mission called Hope 01. Their job is to explore Persephone and see if people can live there in the future.

Astronaut Ariane is stuck on a frozen planet. She must travel through rough land and strange changes to save her hurt partner, Thomas. The game’s story will be full of adventure with exploring, moving around, and sneaky moments that keep you on edge.

And that’s that. DON’T NOT hasn’t shared any more details about it. Once we get a press release with more info, I’ll be sure to update the story with it.

Until then, enjoy the following trailer!
