/ Carlos HernandezThe 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.

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.

Retro-future atompunk setting reminiscent of the era of space race
