Daedalic Entertainment, the renowned game developer known for their point-and-click adventures, is set to make a triumphant return to the beloved trash planet of Deponia with their latest offering, Surviving Deponia. After a seven-year hiatus since the release of “Deponia Doomsday,” fans of the franchise can look forward to embarking on a brand new story-driven survival game that introduces fresh gameplay mechanics, while staying true to the essence of the series.
In Surviving Deponia, players will find themselves in a post-apocalyptic version of the once lovely trash planet. Elysium, the opulent citadel that once floated through Deponia’s skies, has crashed into the surface, causing a series of catastrophic events. Not only is there now a mysterious water shortage, but new threats have emerged, ushering in what is known as the New Deponia Order. To survive in this harsh landscape, players must gather resources, forge alliances with both old and new friends, confront menacing creatures, and establish a home base. Ultimately, the goal is to find a way to escape the madness that now plagues Deponia.
Although the “story-driven survival” genre is uncharted territory for the Deponia franchise, the trash-filled landscapes of Deponia provide ample opportunities to engage players in exciting new ways. While maintaining the essence of the series, “Surviving Deponia” aims to captivate both existing fans and newcomers alike. Those familiar with the survival-strategy genre will find the whimsical and mesmerizing world of Deponia to be the perfect setting to build a home, overcome challenges, and test their survival skills.
One of the key features of Surviving Deponia is the ability for players to build their own home base on the trash planet. Despite the unconventional nature of the materials, players can gather resources and craft their own unique living space. It may be made of garbage, but it will be their garbage—a testament to their resilience and resourcefulness.
The world of Deponia has drastically changed since its last iteration. The once idyllic trash planet has transformed into a dangerous and unforgiving environment. In addition to the life-threatening living conditions, players will encounter a variety of monsters, both human and creature alike, that will pose additional challenges to their survival. Only the most determined and skilled players will be able to navigate the perils of Deponia and emerge victorious.
What sets Surviving Deponia apart is its accessibility to newcomers. Even if players are unfamiliar with the previous Deponia games, they can jump into “Surviving Deponia” without any prior knowledge of the franchise. This new installment serves as an expansion of the world, providing a fresh opportunity for newcomers to join in on the fun.
For existing Deponia fans, Surviving Deponia offers a chance to delve deeper into the lore of the universe they have come to love. They can further explore the planet they hold dear, provided they can stay alive long enough to uncover its secrets.
Surviving Deponia is scheduled to launch into Early Access for Windows PC gamers in 2023. This highly anticipated release is sure to be met with excitement from both long-time fans of the Deponia series and newcomers ready to embark on an unforgettable survival adventure.
