Science fiction city builder IXION launched for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
Developed by Bulwark Studios in Angoulême, France, science fiction city builder IXION launched for Windows in late 2022, published by Kasedo Games. The console port is now available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.

The scenario depicts planet Earth in the year 2049 on the verge of eco-systemic societal collapse. Spacefaring colonization remains as the only option for humanity's survival. However, the maiden voyage of the first space station capable of faster-than-light travel suffers a critical error, sending the DOLOS Tiqqun prototype off course. Players take on the role of the Administrator, managing the resources of the imperiled space station.

IXION for Windows is available via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. The Original Soundtrack by Guillaume David is streaming on YouTube Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music Unlimited, with mastering by Mike Marsh. An additional "Unearthed Tracks" album features four unreleased music tracks.


From the Steam page:
With Earth on the brink of ecosystemic collapse, DOLOS A.E.C. leads efforts to find a new home for the human race. Whether by chance or fate, its prototype space station, the Tiqqun, finds itself cast adrift, a disintegrating ark upon which the remnants of humanity must find sanctuary – and you, Administrator, are at its helm.

IXION is a city-builder that requires you to be vigilant, to constantly assess and reassess, to learn and adapt. If you and your crew are to endure, you must confront the perils of space, while at the same time uncovering its secrets and extracting its resources. Danger, however, will come from within as well as without; you’ll need to establish, maintain and develop the Tiqqun’s infrastructure while managing the station’s population, deciding how best to answer their pleas so as to maintain their trust in you and the mission.
