Indie studio Cosmoscouts and publishing partner indie.io are bringing their cosmic journey Moon Mystery to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on September 18, 2025. Following a successful Kickstarter and its PC launch in 2024, the ambitious first-person shooter adventure is preparing for its console debut, with Xbox pre-orders now live.
Survive the Moon, Explore the Unknown
Moon Mystery begins with a lone astrogeologist stranded on the Moon after all contact with Earth is cut off. With only T.O.B.Y., an AI assistant, to guide them, survival quickly spirals into something much larger.
What starts as a struggle to endure lunar isolation soon expands into a sweeping sci-fi mystery. Players will:
- Uncover lunar ruins and abandoned research stations.
- Battle rogue machines and hostile technology.
- Traverse alien worlds with shifting gravity.
- Explore a massive orbital city in space.
- Confront the awe-inspiring pull of a black hole.
The journey mixes FPS combat, puzzles, and vehicle-based gameplay into a story-driven adventure that constantly evolves as players push deeper into the unknown.
FPS Combat Meets Exploration
Cosmoscouts describes Moon Mystery as a handcrafted, narrative-first experience. Players can expect:
- Zero-gravity firefights with over 100 weapon attachments.
- Puzzle-solving across alien environments.
- Vehicles for every situation, from RC rovers and submarines to spacecraft capable of full 3D navigation.
- A steadily unraveling story about humanity’s place among the stars.
From Solo Project to Indie Studio
The project began as a solo effort in Warsaw, Poland, before growing into Cosmoscouts—a small but passionate indie studio. With early Kickstarter support and backing from indie.io, the team has turned a personal sci-fi dream into a fully realized adventure.
This indie spirit, they say, is at the heart of the project: ambitious, experimental, and driven by a love of science fiction storytelling.
Release Date and Platforms
Moon Mystery launches September 18, 2025, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It is already available on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store for PC players.
Fans can pre-order the game on Xbox right now and join the community through Cosmoscouts’ official Discord and Twitter/X to follow the studio’s next steps into the stars.
