Big Robot announces The Signal From Tölva, a first-person action game featuring space exploration and combat. This will be a single-player game, and it's currently expected in early 2017. "Tölva is our ode to classic pulp science fiction, with all its weirdness and drama," explains developer/journalist Jim Rossignol. "We've long wanted to explore a world of starships floating over hazy valleys, and robots battling amid pulsing ruins. This is that game." This announcement trailer offers a look, and the announcement has further details:

In the distant future, star-faring robotic factions sift through the ruins of an ancient civilisation. On the highlands of Tölva, beneath the shadow of abandoned war machines, they found something.

Was it the source of the signal you were so interested in? And will the trail lead to enlightenment, or something more sinister? You hijack a drone and you begin the search for yourself.

The Signal From Tölva is a journey into a wild science fiction landscape, filled with danger and beauty: you must survive terrible hazards, navigate through impossible spaces, and fight an ongoing battle to control this haunted, blighted world. You will make use of a range of powerful tools to overcome your enemies and uncover secrets: hack robots to battle alongside you, equip powerful weapons, and detonate savage defence systems.
