Developed by BioWare veterans, Exodus stands out as a story-oriented science fiction RPG starring Matthew McConaughey.
Exodusis on the agenda as a new RPG game developed under the leadership of BioWare’s former employees. Starring Matthew McConaughey, this game invites players on a breathtaking adventure across time and space to save humanity. McConaughey, who is remembered for his performance in Interstellar, will portray a similar hero here. Exodus stands out as a production that attracts attention with both its story and innovative gameplay.
Development Team and Story of Exodus
Exodus is developed by the names behind BioWare’s legendary games Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic. Industry veterans such as James Ohlen, Chad Robertson and Drew Karpyshyn are part of the game’s creative team. Developed by Archetype Entertainment, a sub-studio of Wizards of the Coast, this game calls players into battle to save humanity against a tech virus called “The Rot”.
Players control a customizable character named June, and decisions made throughout the story affect events in the world. Exodus’ storytelling is inspired by the Mass Effect series, with a heavy emphasis on character relationships, choices, and consequences throughout the game.
Exodus is played from an action-packed third-person perspective and features a unique gameplay mechanic called “celestial tech”. Thanks to this technology, players can freeze and disintegrate their enemies, transform their weapons into energy swords, or move around the environment using a grappling hook. Additionally, the game features many different types of enemies, from giant space bears to giant frogs.
One of the most striking elements of the game is the time dilation mechanic. Seeing the effects of time after each mission is one of the most important features that distinguishes Exodus from other science fiction games.
Exodus is planned not only as a game but also as a series. A book called Exodus: The Archimedes Engine, which deepened the world of the game, was also published. Exodus is expected to fill a huge gap in the industry and bring a new breath to the science fiction RPG genre.
