The Invincible was announced by newly formed studio Starward Industries and it’s a first-person sci-fi retro-future thriller inspired by a 1964 polish sci-fi novel baring the same title. It’s planned for a 2021 release on the PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
Starward Industries is packed with veteran developers known for their work on high-profile projects like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Dying Light, Dead Island, and even Cyberpunk 2077 that’s due this November.
CEO Marek Markuszewski said in a press release that “The Invincible, which has been secretly in the making for some time, combines a fascinating setting, iconic story, and an established non-linear gameplay to deliver a truly unforgettable experience.”
Here are a few screenshots released by the developers.
Based on the Steam page for The Invincible, you are a scientist on an interstellar expedition that lands on a planet called Regis III to find your missing crew members. That’s just only the beginning as you’ll encounter the secrets of the planet as you uncover what happened to the rest of the crew.
Here’s the full list of features for The Invincible:
Retro-future atompunk setting reminiscent of the era of space race
Analogue yet very advanced technology allowing for drones and autonomous robots to support or spoil your mission
Immersive gameplay with a non-linear story shaped by your relationships, choices and persuasive skills
Beautiful, state of the art graphics powered by Unreal Engine
Intriguing story inspired by Stanislaw Lem’s seminal sci-fi cult classic of the same name
There was no trailer released together with the announcement but the developers did release a music preview to give us a sense of tone and atmosphere you can expect from The Invincible .
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii reuses the Infinite Wealth setting that still feels fresh and exciting for many and is packed with an absurd pirate theme that reminds us that the Yakuza series can go anywhere it wants and still find ways to entertain. Over 10 hours in, Pirate Yakuza is already showing that RGG can still give reason to invest time on their spinoff projects.
Developer Relic Entertainment is working on a turn-based strategy game called Earth vs Mars, which by its name pits Earth’s defenses against an alien invasion. It’s set to launch on Steam this Summer and is the first game from the studio's Relic Labs program.

A couple of weeks after the launch of anime extraction shooter Synduality: Echo of Ada, Bandai Namco and developer Game Studio revealed that the game’s season 1 update will include a new map called East Amasia, new Requests (quests), gear, and more.
Synduality Echo of Ada has potential, but its flawed economy, tedious grind, and lack of meaningful story incentives make it hard to recommend in its current state. Without drastic improvements, it risks being forgotten before it ever finds a steady audience.
Sony will no longer require PC players to sign up for a PSN account to play any of Sony’s games when they become available on PC. Moving forward, the incentive for having a PSN will be in the form of in-game rewards.
