An action game with a third person's perspective, based on a script written by Orson Scott Cardo, a well-known science fiction writer.

Advent Rising is the first in an epic trilogy of action-adventure games, presented in a stunning cinematic format to deliver an unprecedented variety of gameplay experiences. Built on the Unreal Warfare engine, it offers precise, refined play-dynamics with action-packed adventure and style, wrapped in a visually imaginative universe. Advent is akin to a fast-paced action movie where the player is swept up in a continuously evolving series of sequences and events.
