Mars Horizon 2: The Search For Life Announced For PC In 2024
Mars Horizon will be getting a proper sequel for PC, but we won't be seeing the game until sometime next year.
Indie developer Auroch Digital and publisher Secret Mode announced they'll be releasing Mars Horizon 2: The Search For Life for PC sometime in 2024. The game capitalizes off of the things that worked in the first title and builds on it, giving you a far more robust experience. You'll take charge of building a rocket to Mars in search of whatever may be there, progressing the knowledge of our galaxy and what we do in the future with space exploration. We got more info below and the trailer as we now patiently wait to see if and when we'll get a demo or Early Access versions.
"Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life is an authentic space management game where you take on the role of the head of a space agency on your mission to Search for Life. Search for evidence across the solar system to prove there's life on other planets. Manage your staff, build your bases, design and launch rockets, and plan missions. You'll be writing a new space history every time you play. Following on from Mars Horizon where you were able to re-write history, now you're going to be making history. Will you be the first to find evidence of life out there?"
