First revealed all the way in which again in December 2023, Archetype Entertainment and Blur Studio’s sci-fi motion journey Exodus hit us with a couple of issues: Matthew McConaughey is concerned, it seems a bit like Mass Effect, it is being developed by BioWare veterans, and it loves a little bit of time dilation. In October of this yr, we obtained a take a look at some icky celestial faction and nil in the way in which of precise gameplay. And now? Now we lastly get a take a look at the way you do issues. Like sucker-punching armoured house bears within the face with electro-pistols.
Here’s the brand new trailer:

What can we glean from it? It shares the same over-the-shoulder look to Mass Effect, with a particular “celestial tech” granting you the flexibility to freeze enemies, earlier than shattering them into shards of charcoal. There’s a fairly planet coated in sickly fog and a battle with an armoured house bear. The key to beating the bear is to bash it within the head. There can also be an inquisitive frog in a vat of water, in addition to a bigger frog who’s extra menacing.
On a extra critical notice, this “celestial tech” appears to be the crux of the fight. Allowing you to show your arm into a brief vitality blade, whereas your offhand gives the grappling hook goodness to flank or reposition. The protag’s gun additionally morphs, reworking from a shotgun within the first bit, right into a grenade launcher later and rifle afterward. I’m not sure how precisely your buddies enable you to out within the extra explosive moments or whether or not you may direct them, as they’re probably not the point of interest of this trailer. You do see them do a little bit of taking pictures and a little bit of stealthing, although.
It’s onerous to get a way for the writing off solely the shortest snippets, however from a normal vibe type of view, I believe it seems like a 7/10 particular. Not that this can be a unhealthy factor in any respect! 7/10 video games are a few of the easiest, for my part.
There’s no launch date on Exodus but, however you may comply with the sport over on its official website.
