Plot

In the distant future, our solar system is a ravaged battlefield, and mighty starship armadas are the tools of our destruction. Using a previously unknown tenth planet orbiting our solar system as its staging ground, an alien force plans on conquering Earth and destroying anything that gets in its way.

Development and marketing

Development on The 10th Planet began as early as 1994.[4] The game was originally in development by both Centropolis and Bethesda but during development Centropolis chose to stop working on the game due to Centropolis's commitments to their films.[5] Players who pre-ordered the game would receive a copy of XCar: Experimental Racing.[6] The game was described as Star Fox meets X-Wing; PlayStation and Saturn versions were considered.[7]

Release

The game was originally to be released in Summer 1996.[3]This was pushed to October 1997[8][5] and later to 1998.[9][10]
