Deliver Us Marsis one of many games that are next in line to release across two generations of consoles though it will not be released for Nintendo Switch.Deliver Us the Moonhad its Switch port canceledvery soon after it was announced, so it can be inferred that the developers would rather take advantage of more powerful hardware as well as implement features like ray tracing, even if it means missing out on potential sales from Nintendo fans.
Some prominent sci-fi games in recent years have followed a more explorative gameplay loop rather than focusing on action and combat. Perhaps the most prominent example of this would be thespace exploration gameOuter Wilds, a highly successful indie game that experienced strong success across multiple platforms.Outer Wildsaffirmed that there is a strong market for well-crafted science fiction games not built around combat, andDeliver Us the Moonfollowed in this path by focusing on puzzle-solving and narrative building.Deliver Us Marswill carry the torch for this game style with a new setting and story, and fans won’t have to wait much longer to see what is in store for them on the Red Planet.
Deliver Us Marsreleases on August 02, 2025, for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
