Orbitals
Team up as Maki and Omura, two inseparable explorers with a whole lot more determination than experience. You’ll brave the perils of space in search of help for their crumbling station home, now trapped within a supernatural cosmic storm. Orbitals captures the warmth and style of classic Japanese anime, brought to life with hand-crafted cinematic cutscenes from Studio Massket, full Japanese and English voice acting, and an original soundtrack that channels the magic of the era. Built from the ground up for asymmetric 2-player co-op, either in local split-screen or online, Orbitals rewards smart teamwork and clear communication. Use each character’s unique tools to open the path forward, overcome danger, and meet out-of-this-world creatures and characters on a bombastic adventure.
