2K Teasing New Sci-Fi Game 'Advent'

2K Games has started teasing what appears to be a new sci-fi game set in a dystopian future, called 'Advent'. Launching teaser site 'AdventFuture.org', there are a few nuggets to be gleaned about the project in pieces of concept art and text.

"The ADVENT Administration strives to create a world free from hunger, pain, sickness, and war. We believe in a global community of happy and comfortable citizens. The ADVENT is lying to you," reads the main text at the top of the website's page, pointing to a shady corporation at the heart of the game, spreading propaganda to the masses.

There's stuff in there about building better cities for the populous, DNA splicing and millions of people going missing. It sounds like pretty juicy stuff for a sci-fi game. Unfortunately, there are currently no further details on what Advent is.

You can visit the website here, and try and piece together more clues. For now though, we don't really know what Advent is, what platforms it's coming to, or whether it's really called Advent. Expect to see more at E3 in a few weeks.

  • Reeks of PC only................
  • This sounds like it would be pretty cool, hopefully we will hear more about it when E3 arrives.
  • I really hope it's a new Bioshock. Can't get enough of that franchise.
  • I thought of a futuristic dystopian XCOM game for some reason...
  • Old style Syndicate remastered? Partial...
  • Hopefully it's a Sci-Fi strategy game, or maybe even a turn based RPG!!!
  • #7 nononononononono, leave that stuff to the Japanese. This looks like a damn good setting, I think it would be wasted on a game like that. If it's Bioshock, I'd probably buy it day 1 and would be a good game I don't doubt. But it won't have the same magic that Levine brought to the game.
  • Please be a new Bioshock! Pretty Please!!!! I love this franchise and this sounds like it could be awesome, maybe like a futuristic Rapture.
  • Got the email about it this morning. Reminded me of the good old days of Bioshock 2 viral online stuff they did. That was a blast. Plus I was a a mod on their forums at the time. Nothing like free gifts. Anyways this has my interest. Hope to learn more.
  • I hope its a turn based strat and on consoles
  • I tried zooming in, I don't recognize anything that would resemble Bioshock. Maybe the billboard on the lower right to begin with?
  • Looks good...but so did the first images of Destiny. I'll wait and see what this is before I get too enthusiastic.
  • I was looking on the website, and I noticed how they used X multiple times, could this mean a new Xcom game? If so, that will make my day.. But I could be wrong
  • @29 based on IGN it seems you are correct, my day also made
