???? Hello to all you Martians - waiting patiently on the Horizon!
I am sorry if you felt neglected, it has been deeply difficult to ignore your pleas for more content and prayers for updates. Instead, I have been biding my time and anticipating the day when I can finally say…
WE ARE MAKING MARS HORIZON 2!
Oh wow, that feels better.
The team behind Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life are passionate, dedicated, and have been researching astrobiology, rocket improvements, orbital mechanics, toon shaders, accessibility… etc. in pre-production for the last year.
Next, we are heading to Production to knuckle down and deliver the game our players truly want. We have been listening and we aim to please! We are going further into the future and searching for life- not just on Mars but through our solar system, letting the player play Astro-detective.
This won't be Mars Horizon 1.5. We are going to take what was great about Mars Horizon 1 and improve upon it, we are aiming for double as good!
Please enjoy our pre-alpha trailer full of things we are going to build on and refine over this next production process. I am looking forward to saying so much more but for now I will leave you with my cathartic exercise of spilling the space beans! Have them on toast and rest assured there are more courses to come.
Sending Meteors of love and gratitude to all the Mars Horizon fans that have been with us along the way.

???? Press coverage so far
We’ve had some amazing coverage since the announcement of the sequel of our well received Mars Horizon. Take a look at some of the highlights here:
- ???? Space.com’s Elizabeth Howell spoke about how Mars Horizon 2’s Search for Life is similar to real life, “In real life, NASA and the European Space Agency are engaging in a sample return campaign that may bring back evidence of life on Mars as soon as 2033. The Perseverance rover has already collected and stored 10 twin samples of material, one set on the surface of the Red Planet and one inside its belly. The mission calls for Perseverance to deliver its set of samples to an awaiting spacecraft or, if needed, for two fresh fetch helicopters to nab the backup tubes on the surface.” ⭐ Read the full article here!
