Our take on Advent Rising
A large, story-centered science-fiction premise leaves the listing focused on lore and conflict rather than explaining the moment-to-moment play structure or broader gameplay variety.
What is Advent Rising?
Advent Rising presents an intergalactic science-fiction story about a legendary ancient race known as Humans.
Some believe Humanity will deliver the universe, while others doubt that it exists. The Seekers know Humans are real and regard them as an enemy. Posing as benevolent explorers, they search the galaxy for Human colonies and destroy those they find. The story follows the beginning of Humanity's emergence amid this conflict. GlyphX Games created the storyline with science-fiction author Orson Scott Card. The listing centers on a galaxy-spanning saga involving Human survival, the Seekers' campaign, and competing beliefs about Humanity's role in the universe.
