Newly formed studio Far From Home has announced their first project codenamed Project Oxygen. The game is currently in development for Xbox Series X. No release timetable has been announced.
While most of the specifics are kept under veil, the developer released a few tidbits of information. With a first-person perspective, players will fill the shoes of a lone scientist, exploring an ecologically ruined and evolved Earth after humanity failed to fight off their own demise. The game will be a core single-player experience, however, the developer already mentioned plans of adding multiplayer at a later date.
Exploration and survival are keys to success and will be strongly tied to each player’s technologically advanced zeppelin airbase that they will be able to pilot, upgrade, and customize. The zeppelin will serve as the player’s main lifeline and refuge against the world raging below and around them. A mobile airbase that will act as their everything: transport, life support, storage, research laboratory, shelter, and escape.
Here’s a story synopsis:
When Our World Died, Two Emerged in its Place. At the peak of a global ecological disaster, humanity was pushed towards the sky as the Earth had become increasingly inhabitable. In a desperate bid to survive, people created monstrous, makeshift towers to rise above the inhospitable layer of toxic fumes. From here they would rebuild society, create a staging base for research, and try to undo the disaster unfolding below. Inevitably, they failed. It remains a mystery, however, how a small group managed to survive and escape.
