Polaris Team Announces PvE Co-op Shooter POLARIS for Steam Next Fest – Play the Demo Now!

Polaris Team, an offshoot of the award-winning indie studio Variable State, has just revealed that their upcoming PvE co-op shooter POLARIS will be featured in Steam Next Fest! Running from Monday, October 14th to Tuesday, October 22nd, this event will give players an exclusive chance to dive into POLARIS before its full release. The demo is available now on the POLARIS Steam page, and there’s an explainer trailer to help you gear up for battle!

Since the game’s reveal at IGN Live in June, Polaris Team has been hard at work refining the core gameplay mechanics and embracing a more stylized visual aesthetic. The demo at Steam Next Fest will showcase all of this, with key features like fully destructible environments, flying abilities, and intense co-op shooter action on display. Players can also provide feedback, set up multiplayer sessions, and discuss their experiences in the newly launched POLARIS Discord community.

Destruction at the Core of POLARIS
One of POLARIS‘ standout features is its dynamically destructible environments. In every match, you can tear down buildings, crater the landscape, and destroy just about everything in sight. Whether you’re toppling skyscrapers or carving trenches in the earth, POLARIS offers a reactive combat experience that changes with every battle, keeping players on their toes and creating endless tactical opportunities.

From the Team Behind Virginia
POLARIS marks an exciting new chapter for Variable State, the studio behind the BAFTA-winning mystery adventure Virginia. This new project is led by Polaris Team, a dedicated division within Variable State, and brings together veteran developers from renowned studios like Creative Assembly, Splash Damage, Ninja Theory, Rebellion, and Cloud Imperium. With a focus on PvE mechanics, team-based gameplay, and innovative destructible settings, the team is combining their deep experience in multiplayer combat action to craft something truly special.
