Aphelion from DON’T NOD is a new sci-fi adventure revealed at the Future Games Show Spring Showcase, powered by HyperX.
Set in 2060, Earth is dying, and humanity’s survival depends on a newly discovered planet in our solar system called Persephone—named after the Greek goddess of fertility. The planet features breathable air with proper equipment, an electromagnetic field for stability, and a mysterious heat source that could turn its icy terrain into flowing water.
Players follow two scientists navigating Persephone’s sheer ice cliffs using specialized tools while managing limited breathable air. The planet may not be as uninhabited as it seems, hinting at mysterious and potentially hostile lifeforms lurking in the shadows.
Aphelion launches on April 28, 2026, on PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and you can wishlist it now to stay updated.
