Gate Zero is a story-rich, semi-open world action-adventure that sends Max, a teen scavenger from a dystopian 2072, through a time machine into first-century Judea and Galilee. In Max's future, the authoritarian regime UniFi controls information and erases anything that challenges its version of the truth. Stranded at the time of Jesus, Max searches for a way home while working to preserve biblical history.^1
Players explore faithfully re-created places such as Capernaum, Cana, the Sea of Galilee, the Jordan River, and Jerusalem, and walk alongside people who witnessed Jesus' ministry.^1 Max mixes combat, stealth, dialogue, traversal, and puzzles, and dialogue choices can carry real gameplay benefits, not only different wording.^5 A second realm, the Eon World, sits between past and future, where history has been corrupted by UniFi's attempt to erase it. There Max battles creatures tied to that effort, including time-energy enemies called the Kairos and a serpent boss.^3 The game is built in Unreal Engine 5 and is scheduled for Spring 2027 on PC through Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with wishlisting open on all three.^1 No price has been announced; Gibson has said it is too early to share a specific price.^8
Bible X, a Norwegian studio founded in 2020 as part of BCC Media, develops Gate Zero, and Templar Media acquired Bible X in December 2025.^7 Bible X says its goal is to let players experience the events of the Bible and the message of Jesus in an immersive way, and its earlier Kickstarter reached its €200,000 goal within 79 hours.^7 Templar Media was founded by John Gibson, a 25-year games industry veteran.^7 Studio head Arve Solli told VGTimes at gamescom 2026, "Historical accuracy is extremely important to us," and, asked about reactions from religious audiences, said, "I'm not worried about it. I'm actually proud of it."^5 The team says biblical events come directly from Scripture, Jesus' words are never modified, and historians, Bible scholars, and archaeologists advise the work, while backstories and the Eon World are openly presented as historically grounded additions where Scripture is silent.^3
