Latest Phoenix Point Trailer Shares Lore

The turn-based strategy game Phoenix Point by Snapshot Games is fast approaching its release this December 3rd. The mind behind XCOM Julian Gollop is one of the founders.

A new trailer has been released delving into the story behind Phoenix Point. A tale of a terrible Pandoravirus, just like it’s name implies, all hell breaks loose. Humans started changing, their DNA altered by alien forms, the Phoenix Project breaks down, meaning the first line of defence is no longer. With all this peril the eco system on the planet breaks down.

The trailer also introduces three factions: New Jericho, meant to restore order and purity. Synerdion, a faction who wants to build a world without hierarchies, and the Disciples of Anu, a new syncretic religion who are in favour of adaptation and biological change. A new danger is rising, an army from the sea. In order to stop it, the Phoenix Project must engage.

Phoenix Point releases on December 3, 2019 on PC via Epic Game Store, and on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sometime in 2020.
