Game Description
Advent Rising is an ambitious, cinematic action-adventure that transports players into a sweeping sci-fi universe teetering on the brink of annihilation. You play as Gideon Wyeth, a gifted pilot thrust into an intergalactic conflict after humanity is discovered by a powerful alien race. What begins as a routine mission quickly evolves into a galaxy-spanning journey as Gideon awakens latent abilities and uncovers an ancient prophecy that marks him as the last hope of mankind.
Designed in collaboration with award-winning science fiction author Orson Scott Card, Advent Rising blends gripping storytelling with high-octane combat, telekinetic powers, and explosive gunplay. As you level up your abilities in real time, you’ll master slow-motion acrobatics, psychic attacks, and futuristic weapons across alien worlds and colossal space battles. Its dynamic orchestral soundtrack and striking visual design aim to evoke the scope and emotional depth of a space opera, tailored for the power of the Xbox.

- Explore alien landscapes, derelict space stations, and war-torn planets in a narrative-driven campaign

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Advent Rising was envisioned as the first part of an epic trilogy, with Hollywood-caliber ambitions and a storyline co-written by *Ender’s Game* author Orson Scott Card. While later entries were never released, the game earned cult status for its imaginative world-building, soundtrack, and storytelling ambition. It remains a standout example of early-2000s creativity and risk-taking in original IPs on the Xbox.
