Microsoft’s divisive May 7 presentation on Xbox Series X games kicked off with an action-packed indie game called Bright Memory: Infinite.

Here’s everything we know about the game:

Release Date

As Bright Memory: Infinite was one of the first third-party Xbox Series X games shown off, you might think that it was meant to be a launch title. However, Bright Memory Infinite‘s latest trailer does not mention a release date, and its Steam page says “TBD” in regards to a release window.

Bright Memory: Infinite has only been confirmed for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. While the game is playable on a current-gen system, the Xbox Series X version of it will have some special enhancements.

“The quality of the graphics of Bright Memory: Infinite for the Xbox Series X is the aspect I focused most on throughout the game’s development, in order to truly harness and show off the abilities of the next-gen system,” Zeng Xiancheng explained on Xbox Wire. “I’ve also made use of the dramatic visual effects made possible by the Xbox Series X, which can be seen in dynamic scenes in which wind, rain, leaves, and pebbles are visibly sucked toward a wormhole as the player explores their surroundings.”

Story

In the Xbox Wire post about the Xbox Series X port, Xiancheng teased what Bright Memory: Infinite’s sci-fi story, which takes place in 2036, would be about. “The player will take on the role of Shelia, a member of the Supernatural Science Research Organization (SRO), an organization in possession of more advanced science and technology than even the military,” he explained.

During their adventure, Xiancheng hints that players will be “navigating a spaceship that can travel through time, battling ancient samurai displaced from 1000 years ago to the present, and exploring a wormhole that has appeared on Earth.”

If you want to get a taste of its world and story, you can check out Bright Memory on Steam, which serves as a prequel to Infinite. It takes place in 2020 and follows Shelia as she is sent to a supernatural island above the North Pole after an accident.
