Lunar Lander Beyond gets April 2024 release date

Lunar Lander Beyond

Publisher Atari and developer Dreams Uncorporated have announced a release date for Lunar Lander Beyond, their new reimagining of the classic 70s arcade game.

The reimagined arcade game is launching on April 23rd across Windows PC (via  Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PS4, and PS5.

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

As a newly appointed captain of the Pegasus corporation, you must guide a roster of colorful pilots, eclectic advisors and state-of-the-art landers through a taxing series of missions. Deliver cargo, retrieve resources, and rescue stranded pilots as you navigate a mysterious universe of moons and planets.

It’s a thankless job, replete with tension and  danger, and it takes a psychological toll on your crew. But someone has to keep this unseen lifeblood of the interplanetary economy moving.

When a mysterious portal appears, leading to a strange, unexplored planet, you will find you are on a collision course with some sinister truths that lie unseen behind the universe.  Poor flying and fatigue will stress your pilots, and can lead to sensory illusions … the bane of long-haul solo pilots. They may start to see things that may not be real – is that a mine or a fish? And what’s with those celestial pink elephants?!

With multiple pilots, four ships and a dozen upgrades to collect, you can get the job done if you can manage it all …  if not, the stakes are high, and not just for your career.

Features

  • Beautiful Art – A luxurious sci-fi landscape in Dreams Uncorporated’s unique, hand-drawn style.
