Beyond A Steel Sky Coming To PC And Consoles
In 1994 Revolution Software and comic book creator Dave Gibbons teamed up to create a landmark of PC dystopian fiction, Beneath A Steel Sky. 25 years later, the steel sky is still up, but we’re moving beyond. A sequel, Beyond A Steel Sky, is now in the works, and both parties — Revolution and Gibbons — are teaming up once again to make it happen. The announcement was officially made during Apple’s keynote this week, and a few clips of the game were shown during the Apple Arcade reveal video (linked below). The 1994 original was a point-and-click adventure; based on the trailer and screenshots, it doesn’t appear its sequel will follow that template. A unique, rich game experience in an bounded sandbox world, interwoven with a deep narrative. A story that enables players to profoundly affect and subvert the gameworld and its characters. Elegantly simple, intuitive controls that allow complex situations to emerge, offering a gameplay experience that will appeal to the novice as well as the experienced gamer.
