Welcome to Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life! ๐
/We have lift-off!
The news is out! Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life is coming in 2024. We are so excited to share the development journey with you. To kick things off weโd like to introduce you to Tess, one of the producers on Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life.
๐ Hello to all you Martians - waiting patiently on the Horizon!
I am sorry if you felt neglected, it has been deeply difficult to ignore your pleas for more content and prayers for updates. Instead, I have been biding my time and anticipating the day when I can finally sayโฆ
WE ARE MAKING MARS HORIZON 2!
Oh wow, that feels better.
The team behind Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life are passionate and dedicated and have been researching astrobiology, rocket improvements, orbital mechanics, toon shaders, accessibilityโฆ etc. in pre-production for the last year.
Next, we are heading to Production to knuckle down and deliver the game our fans truly want. We have been listening and we aim to please! We are going further into the future and searching for life- not just on Mars but through our solar system, letting the player play Astro-detective.
This won't be Mars Horizon 1.5. We are going to take what was great about Mars Horizon 1 and improve upon it, we are aiming for double as good!
Please enjoy our pre-alpha trailer full of things we are going to build on and refine over this next production process. I am looking forward to saying so much more but for now I will leave you with my cathartic exercise of spilling the space beans! Have them on toast and rest assured there are more courses to come.
Sending Meteors of love and gratitude to all the Mars Horizon fans that have been with us along the way.

Weโve had some amazing coverage since the announcement of the sequel of our well received Mars Horizon. Take a look at some of the highlights here:
๐ Space.comโs Elizabeth Howell spoke about how Mars Horizon 2โs Search for Life is similar to real life, โIn real life, NASA and the European Space Agency are engaging in a sample return campaign that may bring back evidence of life on Mars as soon as 2033. The Perseverance rover has already collected and stored 10 twin samples of material, one set on the surface of the Red Planet and one inside its belly. The mission calls for Perseverance to deliver its set of samples to an awaiting spacecraft or, if needed, for two fresh fetch helicopters to nab the backup tubes on the surface.โ
๐ ReneeSky pieced together some of her best moments from playing Mars Horizon 1 in celebration of Mars Horizon 2, which you can watch here!
โญ We had a lovely write-up from NME. Read it here.
๐ We were also featured on IGNโs video page!
๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ Rock Paper Shotgun are also excited about Mars Horizon 2: The Search for Life, as they were big fans of the first game too!
โญ Wccf Tech said "I , for one, like my management sims, so this is certainly one for meโ and had very nice things to say about Mars Horizon 1.
๐ Bleeding Cool are excited for Mars Horizon 2 as it โcapitalizes off of the things that worked in the first title and builds on it, giving you a far more robust experience.โ
