ORION: Prelude

ORION: Prelude first launched in 2013. The developer last updated the game in 2015 and announced a return to it on July 27, 2026. Since then the developer has posted regularly and describes the game as back in active development. On October 12, 2026 a first preview of a large new version became playable for members of the official Discord, with reworked first-person and third-person shooting, vehicles, physics, dinosaur AI, graphics, performance, and menus. The developer has said the first release of this new version will likely include one game mode and one map, with more maps and modes added over time. A post dated October 2, 2026 states the project will not continue forever. Work continues until stated goals for gameplay, optimization, and a stable foundation are met, after which attention will move to other projects, and bug fixes will still be released. An August 10, 2026 post said new work is in development but likely years away. The developer describes the project as the work of one person. Development is continuing toward those stated goals, so the game is not yet complete.
