Exodus Brings Mass Effect Vibes With a Bold Sci-Fi Twist in New Trailer

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the latest revelations about Archetype Entertainment’s upcoming sci-fi RPG, Exodus, have me genuinely excited! The team behind this project is a veritable who’s who of the gaming world, having worked on classics like Baldur’s Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Dragon Age: Origins.

Archetype Entertainment has shared a sneak peek into their future science fiction RPG titled “Exodus“. The recently unveiled gameplay trailer reveals various alien landscapes, third-person combat sequences, and an intimidatingly powerful bear as well.

The game’s design and narrative echo that of Mass Effect, a connection that makes sense given that Archetype Entertainment was founded by ex-BioWare developers James Ohlen and Chad Robertson. These seasoned creators have previously worked on games such as Baldur’s Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Dragon Age: Origins. Exodus is slated for release by Wizards of the Coast.

During a live broadcast, Ohlen and Robertson provided additional details on the game’s backdrop. The story of Exodus unfolds in a time when humans have moved beyond Earth, constructing sophisticated societies across various star systems. These advancements include the creation of genetically engineered creatures, as evidenced by the bear depicted in the trailer. There is tension among these human colonies, resulting in intricate interactions and partnerships that players must navigate.

A unique feature in the game is Livestone, a mix of mineral and plant life created by the Celestials. Certain humans can control Livestone, and it’s likely the player character has this ability. Time plays a significant role in Exodus. Time moves differently across the universe, so when players travel to other star systems, what feels like weeks for their character could mean years have passed on their homeworld.

During gameplay, players will have two comrades by their side, and it’s worth noting that there are opportunities for romantic interactions. Excitingly, Matthew McConaughey has joined the cast for this game, making it his debut in video games. At present, specifics about his character remain confidential.

If you’re excitedly anticipating a space journey like in the next ‘Mass Effect’ game, ‘Exodus’ could be worth your while when it’s eventually released. But for now, there’s no set date. In the interim, an episode in Amazon’s ‘Secret Level’ series themed around your interest might provide some additional knowledge.

Regarding the upcoming “Mass Effect”, project director Michael Gamble has mentioned that it will showcase photorealistic graphics, differentiating it from the stylized appearance of the recent “Dragon Age”. He highlighted that “Mass Effect” will maintain its photorealistic look as long as he is in charge.

To put it simply, Exodus blends popular concepts from classic science fiction role-playing games with innovative elements, aiming to provide an immersive gaming experience. With its captivating backdrop, intricate character interactions, and unique time mechanics, it’s a game worth keeping an eye on in the sci-fi RPG category.
