Sophie Adenot sends a message from the ISS for the release of Aphelion

On June 15, 2026, DON'T NOD announced the release of an exclusive video in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). This video features Sophie Adenot, a French astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS), who addressed a message to the DON'T NOD team and its community. This message symbolizes the convergence of science and video games around the values of exploration and hope.

To mark the recent release of Aphelion, an action-adventure game, the game's official mission patch was sent to the International Space Station (ISS). Oskar Guilbert, CEO of DON'T NOD, expressed his pride in seeing the game integrated into such an inspiring context. In Aphelion, players explore the planet Persephone through the eyes of Ariane Montclair, a character inspired by real-life space odysseys.
