Falling Skies TV Series Coming to Xbox 360 / PS3 / Wii U

Falling Skies TV Series Coming to Xbox 360 / PS3 / Wii U

Revealed in a press release published on Monday, June 2, Little Orbit has announced a video game adaption for the Steven Spielberg-produced science fiction post-apocalyptic drama series Falling Skies , an adaptation that’ll be presented in the form of a tactical strategy RPG.

Players will be thrown into a ravaged and baren world that has been invaded by aliens, and they’ll have to command a squad of recently-rescued survivors who have been recruited into the human resistance.

Your team will have to engage in covert tactical missions against your enemies, the espheni. While doing so, you’ll also have to rescue and recruit survivors to join the rest of your community, coined as the “2nd Mass”.

The game is touted to feature a unique storyline set within the Falling Skies universe, and will also feature characters from the TV show.

Our goal for Falling Skies is to recreate the humanistic elements from the television series so that players can grow with the characters as they play through intuitively designed strategies,” said Matt Scott, President of Little Orbit.  “ We want to bring that same character driven storyline derived from the series to the game all while making it easy to navigate for every player.”

The Falling Skies video game will be an immersive story experience, and is touted to offer a never-ending list of missions as you join the 2nd Mass and fend off the alien invasion of Skitters, Mechs and Harnessed Humans.

With allegedly hundreds of character skills and equipment upgrades to unlock, you’ll be able to engage  in combat in a variety of different ways to achieve game-changing objectives. The game is also touted to feature dynamic enemy AI and map randomization.

Falling Skies (the videogame) is slated to launch this autumn for Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It’ll also be available as a digital download via Steam, PlayStation Network and the Xbox Live Marketplace.
