The original was a bit of an award winner and now it’s been announced that The Fall Part 2: Unbound will be arriving in 2017.
Picking up from where the original left off, The Fall Part 2: Unbound will be arriving on Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, PC, Mac and Linux in Q1 2017. It’ll be coming complete with new characters, new gameplay twists, a stunning art direction and a story that will engross you even more than the first time round.
“The Fall Part 2: Unbound takes everything we learned with The Fall, adds to it and improves on it exponentially”, said John Warner, Director of Over The Moon. “After seeing the reception The Fall received, we knew that people were excited to see ARID’s journey of self-discovery continue. We want The Fall Part 2: Unbound to deliver a thought-provoking story that will linger with players long after they finish the game, with gameplay that’s as fitting with that story as it is addictive.”
In The Fall series, players control ARID, an AI on-board a futuristic combat suit. In the original game, ARID was lost on an alien planet and struggled to save the life of the severely injured human occupant of the suit. After the unhinging events of part 1, ARID’s very existence is threatened when she is ejected from her body and projected onto a vast global network. In a desperate attempt to save herself, ARID invades and attempts to control several other robots she finds there, each with wildly different personalities and gameplay styles. Will ARID successfully enlist their help before it’s too late? One thing’s for certain – the process will change her.
We were very nearly wowed the first time round (you can read our review here), and with a whole new, deep, engaging narrative and characters, a stark, minimalist art direction and sparse, haunting sound design, we can’t wait to check out The Fall Part 2: Unbound.
