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!

John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
