Bonsai Collective announced that its deep story-driven game, Luna Abyss, is currently in development and will be coming to console and PC as the studio's debut project.
With an arsenal of weapons and advanced mobility and traversal mechanics, this bullet-hell FPS will send players into the depths of an unnatural space beneath a fallen colony to face the secrets, horrors, and revelations of the Abyss. It’s an adventure that tells the story of a convict sentenced to explore a derelict megastructure deep beneath the surface of an alien moon.
Let's take a look at the brand new announcement trailer!
“Luna Abyss takes place on a moon that used to house a prosperous colony of the New British Empire, but is now wiped out and sealed following a mysterious event known as the Scourge,” says Benni Hill, Creative Director at Bonsai Collective. “In the prison atop the Abyss, your one companion is Aylin, an artificial prison sentry watching your every move. She sends convicts deep below for reconnaissance, extraction, and investigation of the collapse. We can’t wait to see what players make of this mysterious world.”
Is Aylin as invested in your survival as she claims? Should you trust her words? Players will have to fathom where her loyalties lie as they delve deep to uncover the secrets of the derelict megastructure.

Technology company Modulate (@modulate_ai) announced the completion of a $30 million Series A funding round led by Lakestar with participation from existing investors Everblue Management, Hyperplane Ventures, and others. In addition, Mika Salmi, Managing Partner of Lakestar, will join Modulate’s Board of Directors. The company will use the funds to expand its team and continue scaling its groundbreaking proactive voice moderation platform, ToxMod.
“ToxMod is changing the way game developers attack toxic behavior in their communities and this funding is a real validation of our mission to make online communities safer,” said Mike Pappas, CEO of Modulate. “We’re thrilled to welcome Mika and his vast store of experience to the Board as we grow our team and ramp up the development and deployment of ToxMod.”
ToxMod uses sophisticated machine learning models to go beyond transcription and understand not just what each player is saying but how they are saying it - including their emotion, volume, prosody, and more. This is crucial, as what's harmful in one context may be friendly trash talk or genuinely supportive in another. ToxMod uses its nuanced understanding of voice to differentiate between these types of situations, identifying the worst actors while leaving everyone else free to enjoy their own approach to each game. Thanks to this sophistication, ToxMod can detect offenses with greater than 98% accuracy (which further improves over time), and enable moderation teams to respond to incidents over 25 times faster.
“Modulate’s technology to identify toxic behavior is light years ahead of anything else in the market,” said Mika Salmi, Managing Partner at Lakestar. “We at Lakestar are excited to be a part of Modulate's mission to stop toxicity in games and in other social applications.”
Modulate is a team of world-class audio experts, gamers, allies, and futurists who are eager to build a better online world. For additional perspective on the announcement and to learn more about the company, read today’s blog post or visit Modulate.ai.
