Following in the footsteps of its predecessor Deliver Us The Moon, the upcoming Deliver Us Mars is an atmospheric sci-fi adventure about a high-stakes mission to recover lost colony ships on the Red Planet. Along the way you'll need to overcome a variety of physical challenges and hostile environments, solve the occasional puzzle to keep the brain juices flowing, and unsurprisingly, try to figure out why in the world someone would steal a bunch of colony ships in a universe where humanity is nearing extinction!

If that sounds like the type of adventure you'd love to embark on, I'm afraid I have a bit of bad news to deliver. Instead of launching this September as previously announced, Deliver Us Mars has now been pushed back to February 2nd, 2023.

"Deliver Us Mars is KeokeN Interactive's most ambitious project to date," reads the brief update. "It is important to us that this experience is the best it can be at launch. With this in mind, we've collectively made the difficult decision to move the release date to 2nd of February 20223 in order to ensure that we are able to live up to that ambition."

"Whilst we understand this news might be disappointing, we are excited for you all to face the challenges of Mars, traverse its hostile environments, and discover the mystery of the Arks... In the meantime, we'll be sharing a fresh look at Deliver Us Mars at the Future Game Show at Gamescom with a brand new trailer on 24th of August 2022."

Once that preview goes live I'll make sure to let you know. Until then, you can read a little bit more about Deliver Us Mars, as well as keep an eye on any further developer updates, over at the official website. Enjoy!

[Update]: Gamescom 2022 has now arrived, and with it a brand new story trailer for Deliver Us Mars.
