About

Beyond a sky of steel is an exciting story of loyalty and redemption that unfolds in a weird and terrifying world of AI-led social controls. As one would expect from a Revolution adventure, the tale is woven with the studio's distinctive humor, backed by the acclaimed artistic style of legendary comic artist Dave Gibbons.

"Even after so many years, fans of the original game are still incredibly loyal and passionate – and have always expressed a keen desire to request a sequel," said Charles Cecil, founder and CEO of Revolution Software. "Adventure games are played by a large and diverse audience, who love stories and riddles. Our approach was to write an intelligent, witty, fully intuitive game to play and assuming no prior knowledge of the original game or its universe. We aspire to write a modern day of 1984 told through the adventure game. "

Beyond a sky of steel is an extremely ambitious adventure in which an emergent gameplay, intelligent and humorous, animates a complex story. Very adventure, the game takes place in a dynamic world, surrounded by sandboxes. A unique world that responds to the actions of the player and will be subverted by them. The characters in the game, driven by advanced AI technology, are purposeful and motivated: their intelligent responses allow for interesting and emerging solutions to puzzles and obstacles. Beyond a Steel Sky, the fruit of 30 years of adventure game development, has evolved and redefined the genre of adventure.

This project has been a concern for both Cecil and Gibbons for many years, but a project they felt needed the right moment in the world for justice to be done.

"Charles and I talked about coming back to Beneath Steel Sky several times," said Dave Gibbons. "False news, social controls, polarized opinions – the world is confused – we agreed that it was time for Robert Foster to take a trip to and beyond this Steel Sky. I'm excited to be working with Revolution again.
