We nonetheless don’t know what that’ll straight appear like 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 task within the sport, which shall be his first online game associated performing credit score. That doesn’t imply something concerning how the sport will prove, however one thing about nabbing the actor who starred in a film closely centered on time dilation simply looks like the proper transfer, for Exodus.
There’s lots we don’t but find out about Exodus, however Archetype is placing within the work to ensure there’s new issues to be taught in regards to the world, even when they aren’t straight showcasing gameplay. A brand new weblog put up 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 risk within the Centauri Cluster, a race referred to as Celestials.
Celestials have 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 may 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 nonetheless, Silicate’s are an opportunity at combating 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.
how the weblog describes these Silicates, it very a lot looks as if your participant character will be capable to bond with these creatures and grow to be a Daemon, with the brand new energy granted showing as totally different gameplay mechanics.
That’s only a little bit of hypothesis, however blogs like this really feel primed for teasing gameplay mechanics to return. Hopefully we are able to start to see extra concrete footage of Exodus to get a greater maintain of what this sport will play like.
