Red Dunes Games, in collaboration with Vertex Zero, has announced the upcoming release of Silent Planet, a gothic sci-fi Metroidvania set to launch on PC via Steam in Q2 2026.

Silent Planet invites players to delve into a haunting universe, brimming with cosmic horror and the remnants of a once-great civilization. Set in the year 2997, you step into the shoes of Apranik, tasked with journeying to the distant planet Thulcandra. Your mission? To retrieve the legendary Angel’s Egg, an ancient artefact believed to be the very source of all life in the universe.

As you navigate the labyrinthine halls of a vast underground complex, you’ll encounter chilling technological and biological horrors left behind by a long-extinct society. Picture this: “Flesh and bones writhing and weaving into a turmoil of organic anarchy, with appendages propelling towards me as they crawled on a viscous, onyx-like substance that seemed to possess a life of its own.”
