After the destruction of the Espheni’s Boston Tower in the third season of the hit TNT series, the 2nd Mass stumbles onto the wreckage of an ambushed convoy. Among the survivors is an engineer who claims he can create a destructive weapon that will aid in the human resistance against the Espheni invaders, but it will require them to undertake several risky operations to collect all the components he needs. What sounds at first to be a simple salvage mission becomes more than the team has bargained for… the aliens are everywhere.
Players will help the original cast of Falling Skies in their resistance against the Espheni invaders. Set between the epic events of the show’s third and fourth seasons, the game allows players to navigate through an open-ended series of side missions to collect resources and build new weapons for their squad.
