# Upcoming space and sci-fi adventure and exploration games Games set among the stars or in the future, built around adventuring or exploring, in release order. Adventure and exploration are the oldest promises space games make: somewhere nobody has been, and a reason to go. This list follows upcoming games set in space or science fiction that are built around adventuring or exploring, sorted by release date, with the games that only have a quarter, a year or no date at the end. ## What to look forward to Several of these games put a single player inside a fight that is larger than them. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II casts you as one of the Emperor's enhanced warriors and asks you to use abilities and heavy weapons against swarming alien foes. Turok: Origins makes you a legendary warrior facing dinosaurs and an alien threat to human life. Squadron 42 hands you the role of a novice navy pilot and moves you between ship combat and fighting on foot. Exodus begins with a salvager who becomes a Traveler, crossing worlds damaged by time in search of what humanity needs to endure. Each leans on action and science fiction, and each asks the player to push through danger rather than avoid it. The Expanse: Osiris Reborn takes a smaller view. You are a mercenary in the wrong place, and the work is keeping a crew together and a ship running. That sits alongside Subnautica 2, an underwater survival adventure on an unfamiliar world, played alone or in a group of four, where staying alive is the task. Both ask you to manage fragile things rather than conquer them. Ananta gives you the role of an elite agent in an organization called the A.C.D., with an adventure through a world that does not follow normal rules; its mix of fantasy, science fiction and party play suggests a different pace. It is the least defined of the group, and worth watching if that blend appeals. Updated 2026-11-15.
