Side-scrolling action-adventure game 2120 MARS: Project Colonies coming to Switch

QUByte has announced 2120 MARS: Project Colonies, a 2.5D side-scrolling action-adventure game. We’ve confirmed with the company that the project is targeting Switch.

Here’s an introduction to the story, along with a teaser trailer:

In the 22nd Century, mankind has developed the technology that made manned missions to other planets a reality. Following these developments, the UN led a treaty, signed by governments all over the globe, to start investments on building Colonies on our nearest planets as means of addressing the issues with overpopulation and lack of natural resources on Earth.

The treaty was a success and the program, codenamed Project: Colonies, produced inhabited colonies in several planets, the first of which Project: Mars, followed by Project: Venus and Project: Jupiter.

After going unresponsive for several weeks, the First Colony sends a distress signal to the UN on Earth which, in response, sends a group of Enhanced Elite Space Marines, led by Col. Anna “Charlotte” Right, to identify the source of the signal and find out what happened to the Colony.

Upon descent on Mars their Spaceship is shot down, leaving just a wounded Col. Right to explore the Colony in pursuit of the truth of what lies behind all these incidents.

2120 MARS: Project Colonies will launch on Switch in 2020.
