• POLARIS™ - Major Update - 'Skyborn Echelon' - 9 February 2025

  New Version Polaris_Win64_Shipping_2025-02-09_1723_28485 Summary The second content update for POLARIS™ is here! And given it’s quite a bit bigger than our last one, we’re giving it a name worthy of its status: Welcome to the Skyborn Echelon update. Skyborn Echelon encompasses a range of additions, most significantly our new Sandbox mode, which allows groups of friends to get together in any level for unstructured fun, where they can learn the terrain, experiment with weapons and abilities, and generally blast the heck out of each other. As I expressed in our previous update, I want to send an enormous thank you to everyone who has experienced POLARIS™ so far. Your passion and enthusiasm for the game has been so rewarding. We’ve amassed quite a community already and I've really enjoyed interacting with many of you in the official POLARIS™ Discord server: https://discord.gg/polarispve We…

• POLARIS™ is here! - 29 January 2025

  POLARIS™ - for some, the video game event of the Anthropocene epoch - is now officially on sale and available to pour into your computer's electronic innards via the Steam Entertainment Delivery Platform: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2482850/POLARIS/ For the next 7 days the game will be discounted, a special treat for distinguished and discerning early adopters who like to make smart and mature decisions about their personal finances. Should you play POLARIS™? Of course, nobody would dare to ask such a brazenly naive question. Should you pay for it now, for the low low price of ? Naturally. To fail to do so would be an insult not just to yourself, but to your people and your entire cultural heritage. Support great art. Release dopamine into your body. Click buttons and tap keys. POLARIS™ awaits. Godspeed.

• Polaris is a stylish co-op extraction shooter you can try for free right now - 18 October 2024

  I remember earlier in the year being hooked by a reveal trailer for Polaris , one of the many upcoming extraction shooter games that have been announced in recent months. Well, the time has come for players to get their hands on it during Steam Next Fest and give its chaotic yet stylish co-op action a try. Read the rest of the story...

• Co-op shooter Polaris launching pre-alpha test soon, signups now live - 3 September 2024

  When you look at upcoming shooter Polaris you'll inevitably think of the vehicular shooter action of series like Halo and Battlefield. What it really reminds me of, however, is a co-op version of Red Faction Guerilla, with fully destructible buildings and a focus on rebellion. If that sounds like your thing, then I come bearing good news - you can sign up to play its first pre-alpha test now, and the test itself is just around the corner. Read the rest of the story...

• New Halo inspired co-op shooter is basically a sci-fi PvE Battlefield - 10 June 2024

  A sci-fi shooter might not have been what you'd expect to see next from developer Variable State, but it's already looking rather impressive. The indie studio previously brought us the BAFTA-winning Virginia and compelling supernatural story game Last Stop. In a radical departure, the team's newest outing is Polaris , an explosive four-player PvE co-op game inspired by classics such as Syndicate Wars and Halo that's filled with dynamic, destructible environments.

• Announcing Polaris at #IGNLive - 9 June 2024

  What a whirlwind. It's surreal to finally release Polaris to the world. I'm Jonathan, the creative director for the game! Polaris is our love letter to games with high tech soldiers, using high tech vehicles, causing chaos in an original science fiction world. I grew up loving games like Wipeout, G-Police, and Colony Wars—later, I would see franchises like Halo, Crimson Skies, and Ace Combat iterate on these basics... and I wanted to be a part of that! Polaris is a melting pot for all these inspirations (and more!). It's being made by a small team of 11 passionate souls. Single player or Co-op PVE, flight, and fully destructible environments. Check out our trailer below to get a feel of the Polaris universe, and sign up for our beta today! (We're super interested in community feedback, and want to make this game both with, and for you.)
