We're happy to announce that Take On Mars officially launches (and thus graduates from Steam Early Access) on February 9th!

On top of this announcement, today we've also deployed a brand new teaser trailer, offering a sneak peek at the recently introduced Manned Mission story campaign. Here, you take on the role of astronaut Mark Willis, one of the crew members in the first manned mission to Mars. Launched from Earth in 2028, the mission reaches Mars orbit a year later. However, during the descent into Mars' atmosphere, things go wrong, and connection to Earth is lost. When contact cannot be re-established, the crew is declared MIA. Yet there is one survivor: you.

Marooned on Mars, Mark’s first priority is to survive. This means managing resources such as oxygen, water, and food, and creating shelter from Mars’ unforgiving sandstorms and solar events. By relying on a background as a botanist and engineer, you will have to extract raw materials from the Martian soil, refine them into real compounds, and make use of a 3D printer to construct the equipment and machines needed for a chance to return home.
To already turn mankind into the first multi-planetary species, aspiring astronauts can still pick up the Early Access version of Take On Mars at a slightly lower price than it will at release.
