Routine Resurfaces At Summer Game Fest

Summer Game Fest Live featured many space-themed events, including Aliens: Dark Descent and Fort Solis. Geoff Keighly, the host of Summer Game Fest Live surprised audiences with Routine, a game that was long lost to development.

From Lunar Software and Raw Fury, the first-person horror all about exploring an abandoned moon base, took the stage with an unsettling new trailer. With desolate lunarscapes, dilapidated empty hallways, and a grainy, filmic vibe, the game’s latest look was set to ratchet up the tension. Its nightmarish death-dealing robot makes it stand out from the rest of the showcase’s intergalactic titles, but the short clip gives little detail on what to expect or if the game’s direction has changed significantly since we last saw it. It is known that Mick Gordon, the composer best known for his work with Wolfenstein and Doom, will be creating its music score.

However, the team behind the game has already posted a message to players on their website about Routine’s long disappearance. Saying:

In short, we’ve essentially restarted production of the game. What we’re sharing here today is in-game footage of Routine. We made the difficult decision to restart.

As we were approaching what we believed to be the end of development, we were finding more and more things that we weren’t happy with that negatively impacted the experience. We had worked on the project for 5 years at that point and simply couldn’t release it as it was.

Routine will be coming to Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. However, the exact date has yet to be announced.
