The list of games to be excited keeps on growing this year, and ION is one in particular that looks promising. Under development by RocketWerkz, ION  is based around survival in space. Under development by Dean Hall, the guy responsible for DayZ.

One of the key features being that you are trying to survive on a space station. Said to be played from a “Diablo Style” viewpoint with a “not quite true Isometric” feel.

It should be interesting to see how that style of game lends itself to the survival genre. With Dean talking about a current bug that made all your “organs fall out” it is hard to imagine what the game play will be like, but the fact that individual organs have a reason to be there, it will be interesting to see how Ion turns out.
