Top Secret: A Glimpse Into your perfect Europa Prime partner

Shhh… We’re not supposed to talk about this, but we just couldn’t resist!


Recently, during a routine exploration mission deep within the archives of the Europa Prime development team, we stumbled upon something mysterious. Tucked away behind encrypted files, locked folders, and a sea of firewalls was an old, dusty classified document. Marked Top Secret, this file reveals some of the most classified information we’ve ever seen—the original concept designs for the bots that will accompany you on your journey through Europa’s icy wilderness.



They’re calling it the "Bot Selection Dossier," and as you can see (from the completely not redacted document above), these aren’t your ordinary mechanical companions. Oh no, these little guys were designed with one mission in mind: to be the ultimate, witty, and reliable guides for your adventures on Europa Prime. But let’s dig a little deeper into what this “found” document is really telling us.


AI and Advanced Intelligence Systems

During our deep dive into the classified files, one cryptic note stood out, marked with only a few letters: C.H.R.I.S. What could this mean? We’re not entirely sure yet, but it seems to have something to do with the way the bots were programmed. Perhaps it’s a secret protocol related to Critical Heuristic Robotics Intelligence Systems—the same system used to make your bot companion so helpful and, well, human.

Could there be a hidden layer to the bot's personality, one that hasn’t been fully unlocked yet? Only time—and your adventures in Europa Prime—will tell. Keep your eyes peeled, explorer, there may be more to CHRIS than meets the eye


The Origins of the Bot Concepts

It seems that before settling on the NOVA, GB-Series, and C-Bot Series designs, the brilliant minds at MXTreality couldn’t decide on just one version. The document shows 10 options that were apparently up for debate. Some have claws that look perfect for navigating the icy depths of Europa’s hidden oceans (very useful if you’re about to meet an alien life form, wouldn’t you agree?), while others have friendly, humanoid hands—ready to give a helpful nudge when you get stuck on one of the game’s mind-bending STEM puzzles.


Each of these designs has a story to tell. Was that version with tank treads (#2) meant for rolling across Europa’s jagged, ice-crusted landscape? Was the sleek, compact version (#5) designed for tight spaces in Europa Prime’s hidden research stations? And what about the robot with the bold visor and mechanical arms (#7)? He looks ready to take on anything!


But of course, only one could be selected to stand beside you in your interstellar adventure.

...Or is there more?

...I guess you'll have to play the game to be sure.


What Does This Mean for Your Adventure?

The fact that these designs were “classified” only makes us wonder… what else is being hidden on Europa? Is there something out there that these bots were specifically designed to handle? In Europa Prime, every mission has its twists and turns, and you’ll need your bot to navigate them all. After all, the station caretaker has gone silent, communication has been cut off, and it’s up to you (and your AI companion) to uncover the truth.

One thing’s for sure: with all this secrecy surrounding the design process, we can’t help but feel that there’s more to these bots than meets the eye. Will you discover what happened to the caretaker? Will your companion bot—whether they have claws or hands—be enough to guide you through Europa’s dark and icy mysteries?



Ready to Meet Your Companion?

The journey to get there is just a small part of the secrets waiting for you in Europa Prime. And who knows? Perhaps in future updates, you might just get to choose from one of these mysterious alternate designs yourself. After all, who wouldn’t want a bot with claws as your partner in an alien-infested underwater world?

So, are you ready to take on the secrets of Europa? With one of these bots at your side, you’ll have the perfect guide to help you unlock the mysteries of this icy moon—and perhaps even the universe itself. Stay tuned, adventurer… The journey is just beginning.



In the meantime, don’t forget to keep an eye out for more “classified” documents. You never know what else we’ll dig up.


This blog post will not self-destruct... but it might disappear once the bots find out we’ve been snooping around!
