70s retro sci-fi action adventure game Cosmo Tales announced for PC

Bohemia Interactive is creating *Cosmo Tales*, a new third-person action adventure game. It’s designed with a retro-futuristic style reminiscent of 1970s science fiction, but features updated graphics and gameplay. Players can try it out through Steam Early Access in 2026.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Okay, so I just started playing this game called *Cosmo Tales*, and it’s seriously different! You’re basically a teenager zooming around space in a car that *talks* and can bend reality. It’s all about jumping between dimensions in this super-fast, crazy adventure with a really fun, lighthearted story. It’s not your typical space shooter, that’s for sure!

Shift Dimensions. Change Everything.

You don’t just travel through space – you actually change it. Instantly switch between different realities to avoid traps, solve puzzles, or win battles that seemed unwinnable. Each reality is unique, with its own look, rules, weapons, enemies, and unexpected events.

Cosmic Combat with a Twist

Okay, as a fan, let me tell you, this game is INSANE! You’re constantly dodging enemy fire, blasting through waves of ships, and even taking on these massive bosses and huge motherships. But it’s not just about shooting – you can use all sorts of cool weapons and gadgets, and even the environment itself to help you out. What I really love is that there’s no single way to beat a level; you can totally customize your approach and play how *you* want, across a bunch of different worlds!

Handcrafted Visual Style

Explore outer space like never before! Each area of the universe is bursting with vibrant colors, unique planets – even some shaped like donuts – and dazzling stars. Imagine a deep, rainbow-colored cosmos, all brought to life with a playful, comic-book style that blends the retro sci-fi of the 1970s with today’s indie art scene.

A Hero and His Car

Meet a teen driver and their incredible, high-tech car. This car isn’t just transportation – it can talk, fight, and even *feel*. It’s more than a vehicle; it’s a true companion and best friend.

A Universe Full of Stories

Think of each part of Cosmo Tales as its own complete comic book story, filled with interesting characters, exciting challenges, and mind-bending adventures. It’s not just a fun experience-it’s a journey you’ll really enjoy!
