The Red Solstice 2: Survivors is now in development

Polish developers Ironward have announced that The Red Solstice 2: Survivors is now in development and will test players like never before, as they fight against the STOL virus and achieve the ultimate goal, survive.

Ironward have said that their focus with The Red Solstice 2: Survivors, is iterating on the tight corridor combat of the original further to create what they truly believe is a great leap in claustrophobic isometric gameplay. Coupled with a focus on improved combat is the deep mood set by the sci-fi alien homage prevalent in design and a completely new layer of the strategy tools players will use in-game; adding technology development, resource collection, and world map combat mission choices. The Red Solstice 2: Survivors builds each mission in sci-fi xeno fear, hitting new levels of tense cooperative action for the franchise and added strategic depth.

On the topic of atmosphere, Hrvoje Horvatek wants players to be reminded of classic sci-fi while playing The Red Solstice 2: Survivors.

“At Ironward, we are big fans of the Aliens movie franchise and other sci-fi classics. With The Red Solstice 2, we really focused in on nailing that tense feeling in-game, as we want to players to be on edge about their chances of survival. I believe our team is on the right track, and our mission is to get this tone right.”

Perhaps the most interesting part is that you can join in other player campaigns and combat missions or vice versa. Bring your own research and resources into their campaigns, play together and work towards the survival of the planet as a team.

The game looks the part, but as there is no set release window for it, only time will tell if it achieves that goal.
