Dean Hall’s new game, ION, will be available first on PC and Xbox One via the Game Preview Program, Microsoft has announced.

The Game Preview Program is an early access type service, similar to what is seen on Steam.

Inspired by the cult favourite Space Station 13, ION is an emergent narrative massively-multiplayer online game in which players will build, live in and die in huge floating galactic constructions as humanity makes its first steps colonizing the universe.

ION will feature a massive interconnected universe with fully simulated environments such as power grids, air pressure and heat; all to help stave off the unending vacuum of space.
