Outlier Games Unveils Mars Attracts at Gamescom 2024: A Theme Park Management Sim Set in the Iconic Mars Attacks™ Universe



Date Posted: August 22, 2024

Outlier Games, the indie studio known for its innovative strategy titles, has officially announced its latest project, Mars Attracts, at Gamescom 2024. Scheduled for an Early Access release in 2025, Mars Attracts invites players to build and manage a Martian theme park in the iconic retro-futuristic universe of Mars Attacks™.

Outlier Games is proudly supported by Northern Ireland Screen and the Government of Ireland.

In Mars Attracts, players will step into the shoes of a Martian Park manager tasked with creating the ultimate interplanetary tourist destination. Build rides, hire and train staff, manage guest needs, and most importantly – abduct humans to serve as the star attractions! Craft the perfect park to appeal to your Martian guests, but don’t forget to keep your humans’ needs met too – the hideous enclosed-brained Earthlings can be prone to escape!

Key Features of Mars Attracts:

  • Build the Ultimate Martian Park: Create rides, amenities, and facilities to make your park the top attraction on Mars.
  • Human Abductions: Use advanced Martian technology to abduct humans from across history and display them in customisable habitats.
  • Guest Satisfaction: Balance the needs of your Martian guests with the happiness of your human captives to keep the park running smoothly.
  • Research and Development: Study human behaviour to unlock new attractions and ways to amuse your Martian visitors.
  • Manage Escapes: Humans can be unpredictable – be ready to handle escapes and keep your park secure.

Set in the whimsical and bizarre world of Mars Attacks™, Mars Attracts offers a fresh take on the theme park management genre. Players will need to carefully manage resources, design attractions, and study their human captives to ensure their park becomes the hottest destination in the galaxy.

Mars Attracts will be released in Early Access in 2025.
