About Aphelion

Aphelion is a cinematic third-person sci-fi action-adventure from Don’t Nod, the studio behind Jusant and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, created in partnership with the European Space Agency. With Earth becoming uninhabitable, astronauts Ariane and Thomas are sent to survey Persephone, a newly discovered ninth planet at the edge of the solar system.

A crash landing scatters the pair across its frozen surface. Players control both characters, using tools such as a pathfinder, oxygen tank and grappling hook to cross treacherous terrain, avoid lurking threats and uncover the reality-bending secrets buried beneath the ice.
