Studios Extraordinaires plans “a brand new encounter” with Mars and its mysteries, suggesting that the audiovisual adaptations will follow a different narrative from the base game. As a reminder, the plot follows engineer Jack Leary (Roger Clark) forced to find refuge in the Fort Solis, abandoned mining facility stained with blood. Our scientist friend quickly understands that he is less alone than he seems. What follows is a few hours of walking without much madness, but blessed by pretty visuals under Unreal Engine 5.
Handshakes and back pats
“This film and television production contract with Studios Extraordinaires marks a major step in the evolution of intellectual property Fort Solis. Through this partnership, we open up new potential for exploring our universe.“, enthuses Piotr Kurkowski, CEO of Fallen Leaf.
André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson, the brains behind Studios Extraordinaires, are just as enthusiastic. “Fort Solis is the kind of clever sci-fi on the edge of science-reality. […] Each character brings a unique perspective and depth to the story, and we can’t wait to bring its poignant storytelling, cinematic atmosphere, and exceptional cast to life with Mars as the setting.Extraordinary Studios has not yet specified whether the original cast – Roger Clark, Troy Baker and Julia Brown – will return to action in the adaptation.
