Advent Rising

Advent Rising is the first in an epic trilogy of action-adventure games, presented in a stunning cinematic format to deliver an unprecedented variety of gameplay experiences. Built on the Unreal Warfare engine, it offers precise, refined play-dynamics with action-packed adventure and style, wrapped in a visually imaginative universe. Advent is akin to a fast-paced action movie where the player is swept up in a continuously evolving series of sequences and events.

Working with award-winning science fiction author Orson Scott Card, GlyphX Games has created a gripping storyline that will thrust gamers and readers alike into an incredible intergalactic saga. In Advent Rising, the players make decisions that effect not only what they experience in the first game, but the entire Advent trilogy.
