Austin-based video game studio Archetype Entertainment, helmed by veteran AAA developers, stole the spotlight at The Game Awards with the grand reveal of their inaugural project, EXODUS. What made the reveal even more special was that the announcement was made by Matthew McConaughey. This epic sci-fi action-adventure role-playing game is the brainchild of renowned RPG creator James Ohlen, promising a next-generation gaming experience that seamlessly merges cinematic storytelling with profound emotional resonance and modern AAA gameplay.
EXODUS: A Next-Generation Sci-Fi RPG with Time Dilation Impact
The gameplay revolves around Time Dilation, a concept that has fascinated Ohlen since childhood. Time Dilation serves as a catalyst, influencing in-game choices and triggering a cascade of events that leave an indelible mark on relationships, civilizations, and the game world for generations.
In the EXODUS universe, humanity, on the brink of extinction on Earth, seeks refuge in a hostile galaxy. Players assume the role of The Traveler, tasked with pilfering alien weapons and technology from the formidable Celestials – humanity’s arch-nemesis. However, the twist lies in Time Dilation, where interstellar missions mean days for The Traveler equate to decades back home. The sacrifices made to shield loved ones create unpredictable consequences, altering the course of the future. Upon returning home, players confront the monumental ramifications of their choices, with the outcomes echoing across generations on a grand scale.
EXODUS promises to immerse players in an unparalleled gaming experience where the consequences of decisions reverberate through time. All this, in turn, shapes a universe teeming with sci-fi intrigue and emotional depth. As Archetype Entertainment pushes the boundaries of storytelling and gameplay, EXODUS stands poised to set a new standard in the world of RPGs.
