Developer Fallen Leaf Studios released their psychological sci-fi thriller Fort Solis earlier this year, a video game inspired by films including Alien, Solaris, Moon and Sunshine.
Now Fort Solis is getting a movie and possibly even a television series of its own, with Deadline reporting that “Sweden’s Studios Extraordinaires is teaming with European games maker Fallen Leaf Studios to develop film and TV versions of [the] sci-fi horror game.”
In the game, players take control of engineer Jack Leary, who is thrust into an emergency situation on an isolated Martian mining base. As events spiral out of control, a mystery about the fate of the base’s crew slowly unravels.
“Fort Solis is the kind of clever science-fiction tethering on the brink of science-fact that will stay with you long after you step away from the screen,” said Studios Extraordinaires co-founders André Hedetoft and Andreas Troedsson. “Each character in the small cast brings a unique perspective and depth to the story and we can’t wait to bring its gripping narrative, cinematic setting, and stellar cast to life amidst the thrilling backdrop of the Martian frontier.”
“The signing of this film and TV production deal with Studios Extraordinaires marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the IP,” added Fallen Leaf CEO Piotr Kurkowski.
Kurkowski continued in his official statement, “Through this partnership, we’re opening new gateways and avenues to explore the universe established in our debut title.”
