Exodus is a coming sci-fi RPG from Archetype Leisure, a studio based and operated by a workforce of business veterans who’re making an attempt to construct an RPG that offers with time dilation in a approach that’s not been carried out earlier than.
We nonetheless don’t know what that’ll straight appear to be precisely, however the studio’s co-founders James Ohlen and Chad Robertson have spoken at size on their dedication to specializing in how gamers selections impression the story and expertise in Exodus.
Archetype has additionally gone out and grabbed Interstellar star Matthew McConaughey to play a job within the recreation, which will likely be his first online game associated appearing credit score. That doesn’t imply something relating to how the sport will prove, however one thing about nabbing the actor who starred in a film closely targeted on time dilation simply looks like the proper transfer, for Exodus.
There’s quite a bit we don’t but find out about Exodus, however Archetype is placing within the work to verify there’s new issues to be taught concerning the world, even when they aren’t straight showcasing gameplay. A brand new weblog publish on the official web site for Exodus digs into the lore of the sport that Archetype is constructing, focusing this time on humanity’s biggest menace within the Centauri Cluster, a race generally known as Celestials.
Celestials had been people at one level, the primary to succeed in the Centauri Cluster as soon as humanity started abandoning an Earth that had been pushed handed the purpose the place it might maintain life. These people not bear in mind their origins, and because the weblog places it “have shed the final vestiges of their humanity and developed into one thing unrecognizable and terrifying.”
The weblog additionally reveals a brand new side to the lore, Silicates, an organism that seems solely to be a gem with no actual significance. For people nevertheless, Silicate’s are an opportunity at preventing again towards the Celestials, since Silicate’s bond with human hosts to completely change them in ways in which make them stronger in quite a few methods, and shapes them into one thing new known as a Daemon.
Taking a look at how the weblog describes these Silicates, it very a lot looks as if your participant character will have the ability to bond with these creatures and develop into a Daemon, with the brand new power granted showing as completely different gameplay mechanics.
That’s only a little bit of hypothesis, however blogs like this really feel primed for teasing gameplay mechanics to come back. Hopefully we are able to start to see extra concrete footage of Exodus to get a greater maintain of what this recreation will play like.
