New Sci-Fi Game Aphelion Hits Xbox Game Pass

The highly anticipated action-adventure game, Aphelion, is set to launch on April 28, 2026.

Developed by the acclaimed team at DON’T NOD, this cinematic experience takes players to the year 2060.

The story follows two astronauts, Ariane Montclair and Thomas Cross, who are stranded on a mysterious, icy planet called Persephone after a harrowing crash.

To ensure a sense of realism, the developers collaborated with the European Space Agency to incorporate authentic physics.

Players will navigate the challenges of survival by alternating between the two leads.

Ariane’s gameplay emphasizes fluid parkour and exploration, while Thomas’s segments focus on investigative puzzles and mission technology.

Along their journey, they must overcome the Nemesis, a mysterious alien threat, while deepening their emotional bond.

Aphelion will be a day-one release for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers, available on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Cloud.
