Kasedo Games and Bulwark Studios have announced console ports for their sci-fi survival city builder IXION.

IXION is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 sometime next year – though further information wasn’t announced. IXION was originally released for PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store) back in December 2022.

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

HOPE FOR HUMANITY

IXION combines city building, survival elements and exploration, into a thrilling space opera as you explore the stars. Propelled onwards into a perilous journey, you are the Administrator of the Tiqqun space station, charged with the task to find a new home for humanity after the Earth can no longer provide.

Keeping the station sound and flying will require a deft hand and strategic thinking, as you are constantly pulled between maintaining the hull integrity, bringing in new resources and managing power consumption.

What choices will you make when confronted with impending disaster? What will you discover out there in the dark?
