The Game Awards showcased many new Games that are in development and many that are close to being released. One of the Games showcased was Exodus, A Sci-Fi Game Starring Interstellar’s (2014) Lead Actor Mathew McConaughy. In this article, we will go through everything we know about the game up till now.
Who is Mathew McConaughey?
Matthew McConaughey is an American actor who made his breakthrough by starring in the Richard Linklater-directed coming-of-age comedy Dazed and Confused in 1993. One of his many roles is Cooper in Interstellar, a movie beloved by fans and critics alike. What makes it more interesting is that Interstellar and Exodus focus on the effects of space and time, mainly Time Dilation, a major feature in the Game Exodus that we will go through later in the article.
What Is The Premise of Exodus?
It is a new AAA science fiction action-adventure role-playing game franchise from Archetype Entertainment. We discussed time dilation earlier in the article, let’s look at what role this has in the game. The basic gist of the game is something like this, humanity has now left Earth and has built a colony in space. You play as someone called The Traveler. The Travelers are a group of people who go into space to find artifacts and bring them back to help humanity defend against The Celestials.
The celestials are in fact humans that are more technologically advanced than the humans we as travelers work for. Now here is how Time Dilation comes into play. The travelers use something called a Gate to travel. These Gates allow them to go in Lightspeeds to travel to different stars and solar systems to find those artifacts. When These travelers return home, they find out they’ve been away for decades or centuries. This creates the Drama of having their loved ones now being all grown up or sometimes finding them already passed away. The Devs also explain how they used this to create all sorts of Drama for the players. It can also be said that Humanity’s existence lies completely in the choices we make.
Additionally, players will be encouraged to think twice before they make any choices as said by the Devs. For me personally, this game just ticks all the boxes of what I want in a Sci-Fi video game. The game has a solid premise and even has ex-BioWare devs working on the game.
Exodus Gameplay
The executives behind Exodus, James Ohlen (Executive Creative Director) and Chad Robertson (Executive Producer) say it’s a Game that is based on exploration and combat. We as the Travelers may encounter robots called Ghosts While searching for artifacts called Remnants. These Ghosts are ancient constructs from dead civilisations to protect their technology which is one example of what we might encounter. Furthermore, We might also find things that will make our character grow stronger in combat (Superpowers Maybe?).
Exodus Release Date
We have no Release Date for Exodus For now. But we do know the platforms it releases on. The game will be released on The PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X and S.
