When many of us were teenagers, Lem gave us a vision of the future that seemed surreal. As a reader, I couldn’t imagine the world of The Invincible being more tangible than that depicted in the game. As a Polish publisher, whose mission is to present meaningful entertainment, we couldn’t let pass the opportunity to undertake a game based on such an important element of Polish cultural heritage as Lem’s book.
A game eagerly awaited by science fiction fans.

The first pictures of gameplay unveiled reveal a pair of futuristic binoculars that could possibly be reminiscent of a virtual reality headset. If such an exit can only delight us, it is however not yet confirmed even if as soon as the announcement of the game in 2019, the teams of Starward Industries had announced their intention to carry it in VR. It is clear that these first images augur well. Still a few months to wait before we can start exploring this unknown world on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam, GOG.com, Epic Games). Hopefully the result will live up to our expectations.
