evolution Software has announced Beyond a Steel Sky for consoles, Windows PC, and Apple Devices, including Apple Arcade. It will launch in 2019. It is a sequel to the cyberpunk adventure game Beneath a Steel Sky.
"Even after so many years, fans of the original game are still incredibly loyal and very passionate – and have remained vocal in demanding a sequel," said Revolution Software founder and CEO Charles Cecil.
"Adventure games are played by a large, diverse audience that hugely enjoys the interweaving of story and puzzles. Our approach has been to write an intelligent, witty adventure game that is wholly intuitive to play and assumes no prior knowledge of the original game or its universe. We aspire to write a modern day 1984 told through the medium of the adventure game."
