The Long Journey Home Space Fleet and Missions at E3 2016

About the Mission:

The first mission’s goal is to reach Alpha Centauri. The astronauts are supposed to take ground samples. The Alcubierre Jump Drive was developed in line with the KNOSSOS research project, specifically for this mission. This technology enables the light jump impulse of a space ship. A fleet consisting of diverse space ships is available for the very first manned light jump in the history of mankind. These space ships differ in load capacity, jump coverage, tank volume and technical equipment. There are also different landing modules which enable the exploration of Alpha Centauri. The space ships are provided with the latest scanners and laboratories and offer enough room for four members of the mission. Therefore, the player has to choose four out of ten available astronauts before launching the mission. Their individual and variable skills are essential for the shaping of the adventure.

About The Long Journey Home:

The Long Journey Home is a Space Exploration RPG that combines the best of classic space adventures like Starflight and Star Control II with the replayability of modern roguelikes, in a procedurally generated, endlessly surprising living universe inspired by beloved modern Science Fiction shows like Farscape and Firefly.

Your goal: to find the way back to Earth. An accident during humanity’s first jump drive test has catapulted you and your crew to the other side of the galaxy, and the only way home is through. Lead your crew as you explore new worlds in search of allies and support. Face searing storms and deadly gravity as you plunder alien worlds for their secrets and technology. Befriend alien races and earn their trust. Keep your people alive. Do whatever it takes to get home.

 

The Long Journey Home Features:

  • Explore a living, procedurally generated galaxy
  • Guide your crew through complex quests and moral dilemmas
  • Uncover ancient secrets in the ruins of distant worlds
  • Fight for survival in a dangerous universe
  • Chart your own course – every game, a new journey

The Long Journey Home is due for release in the second half of 2016 for PC and in the first half of 2017 for Xbox One and Playstation 4.
