Deliver Us Mars release date

Deliver Us Mars is scheduled to be released on Thursday, February 2, 2023, on both generations of Xbox and PlayStation consoles, as well as PC. There is no word currently on whether or not a Nintendo Switch version is in the works.

The game was originally due to arrive on September 27, 2022, but was ultimately delayed to ensure that Deliver Us Mars launches in the best possible state.

On the delay, developer KeokeN Interactive said: “It is important to us that this experience is the best it can be at launch. With this in mind, we’ve collectively made the difficult decision to move the release date to 2nd of February 2023 in order to ensure that we are able to live up to that ambition.

“Whilst we understand this news might be disappointing, we are excited for you all to face the challenges of Mars, traverse its hostile environments, and discover the mystery of the ARKS.”

Deliver Us Mars drops players into an entirely new setting but one equally captivating.

Deliver Us Mars story

Deliver Us Mars picks up 10 years after the Fortuna mission depicted in the first game, and humanity is on the brink of extinction. You play as Kathy Johannson, younger sister of Claire Johanson, protagonist from the original game. The second daughter of Dr Isaac Johanson crashes onto Mars with her crew as they respond to a mysterious distress call.

As the youngest astronaut in Earth’s history, Kathy is tasked with tracking down ARK colony ships and bringing their technology back home to secure the survival of the human race.

Deliver Us Mars gameplay

Much like the first game, Deliver Us Mars sees players solving puzzles to navigate the brutal Martian landscape, in both first and third-person perspectives. The new climbing axes add an extra dimension to gameplay and can be used to navigate obstacles and reach new areas.

There are also sections will players will zip around in zero gravity and scuba dive while continuing to figure out the game’s many puzzles.

On top of this, we also know for certain that vehicle sections will be back in full force. Much like how players were able to navigate the moon through a four-wheeler, the same is possible on Mars with a more refined approach to vehicular gameplay in the sequel.
