question
grammar kanji syntax kana
Is するということであります speaking in the past, or present?
～であります is a polite version of ～である, which is a stiffer version of だ. ～ということだ
is "It is that ～" used to give an explanation. Put together, ～ということであります
translates to just "It is that ～". (As a free translation, "basically, what we
know is, ..." is not wrong in this context, though.)

The remaining part is easy. Since 脱出する is in its dictionary form, it's a
description of something at preset or in the future.

> これが、ある惑星から脱出するということであります。
>
> So this is going to escape from a certain planet.

At the end of this ad, the audience notice this is all about a new video game
title. After knowing this, the above sentence starts to sound like "So this
game is about Hermie Hopperhead trying to escape from a certain planet".
