Everything We Know about EXODUS (Next Big Sci-fi RPG)

[@thundageon5962]

I hear "Drew Karpashyn" i immediately got interested, he's the reason why ME1's dialogue is phenomenal

[@TheGreatestJediOfAllTime]

I enjoyed his Star Wars Revan novel.

IM SO EXCITED FOR EXODUS LETS GOOOO 🎉

[@LarryAsberryJr]

I'm glad you and MrHulthen are taking their time covering other promising science fiction projects. This makes the wait for Mass Effect much easier.

[@nickohhh]

Yah me too! I was really impressed with the short stories on the site and coupled with the promise of Interstellar-level heart-string pulling, brain-popping storytelling, I'm super excited

[@VictorEduard5741]

As long as sweet baby is not involved

[@MegaShot12]

The studio being owned by Wizzards of the Coast is an instant turn off...

[@frenchie_maple]

This might be one of the best consequences of Bioware's apparent downfall! Can't wait to know more about this!

[@AdromedaJoel]

Don’t forget Drew Karpyshyn also wrote the three Mass Effect novels, Revelation, Ascension and Retribution, all of wich where awesome!! I’ hyped for Exodus, I’m all in for it

[@stuartanderws5705]

Looks like the game is based on Peter F Hamilton new books Exodus released today 19 Sep 2024. It's not a short story. For more of his books look for The Commonwealth books. Starting with Pandora's Star. Or Manhattan in Revers for a set of short story in that univers.

[@Alteori]

After watching Foundation and playing Baldur's Gate 3, this is just the kind of game I was looking for

[@Gulmanzo66]

Im really excited for this game. I hope that it's just simply amazing. They have a good team, so im optimistic

[@noctoi]

There are no words for how freaking excited I am that studios like this one and Larian are *finally* finding their feet and showing everyone what's possible when creative freedom and talented devs are allowed to do what they love. Even more, when they're allowed to take as long as it takes and put the funding where it's needed rather than where they're told to put it. It's been *so long* since there was a brilliant Sci-Fi RPG. I cannot wait for this.

[@SwagAli]

This looks like the game I wanted Mass Effect Andromeda to be!

[@Sergiu_Pirscoveanu]

I love SF games. I hope we get a release date soon. Keep feeding us the news MrHulthen

[@DMBLaan]

I'm curious to learn more about this game, but I have to admit. I've heard these same promises from devs before, and almost never have they paid off. So that has me a little nervous.

[@MeepsGO]

oh damn that dev team is WILD. This will be a treat, thanks for the breakdown.

[@darrenjamesenns]

Great vid Mr. Hulten! I like the action packed short vids you make. Fun fact (I think). at 6:30, you read "Elohim." This is a Hebrew word used in the Bible, either as a title for the God of Israel himself, or as a generic word for "gods." Pronunciation based on ancient texts is: eh-loh-HEEM. That, along with the word "celestials" seems like this race is quite powerful and god-like.

[@spectre_26]

Just what I needed. Thank you MrHulthen!

[@nickrubin7312]

I've seen some people on YT and socials saying generic or whatever, or not paying attention. Yet another trap of general audience. Not only it is created by very talented people, but clearly there is a wish for big sci-fi RPG, and it is free for anyone to capture the audience. At least until next ME. Really excited about this game.

[@arch1eviathan216]

choices, companions and a sci fi world to explore. I haven't experienced anything like this since the mass effect trilogy. i'm so genuinely excited for this game.

[@FlexedNoose]

The economy, weapons, armors and anything else could change after every time dilation jump depending on how long the jump lasts, from decades to centuries. I just hope they don’t overwhelm themselves too much.

[@RachelOfTheLostMoon]

Your video did such a great job of talking about what is known about the game. Thanks for going over that, I was excited before seeing your video and now Exodus is probably my #1 most anticipated game, right next to ME4 of course

[@rolandzuber2856]

Super excited about this game! Just please you guys making it, don't let Sweet Baby Inc interfere with your work....

[@markedone494]

Yeah buddy a game set in the future in space will most definitely have diverse characters and characters you dont deem that should be represented in our society. You people are so mindless its hillarious, completely ignoring that stuff like dragon age and mass effect are some of the most heavily leftist works of art. You can fuck humanoid aliens for fucks sake, like thats more woke than a lgbtq person just existing XD

[@NightFire2100]

Been a long while since a Western game has genuinely peaked my interest. But with so many Bioware veterans behind it, I can't help but be hopeful.

[@raphaelw8s4u]

I hope it will come out soon (meaning i guess like 2025 or 26) and i hope it will be a mass effect like game, that would be great, especially with the technology that is more close to what we can understand ;) aand i am glad that the studio is filled with rpg experts :) the gameplay looked good and the trailer music was a little hint about the black hole in the star cluster (which is a captured small galaxy) wish all a happy new year 2024 from germany!

[@Brot_ist_geil]

Ich wünschte es gäbe mehr deutsche Mass effect fans

[@JBKNL]

Ofc it is... Remnants, Ark, recolonizing, ancient space robots. Kinda sounds like an Andromeda remake. But way cooler. It all sounds very promising. Just hope that the space dillution wont make you feel put of touch with what you leave behind every time you go on a mission.

[@gerhardlibal2229]

​@@Brot_ist_geil Gibt es. Habe es damals bei Release gespielt (mehrmals, jeden Teil) und letztes Jahr die Edition mit allen 3 Teilen nochmals auf Ps4 (alle 3 auf Platin, weil es die Reihe verdient hat) und habe jede Spielminute genossen. Wenn Exodus nur halb so gut wird, bin ich mehr als zufrieden. Hoffe nur, dass der ganze Woke-Shit (wie leider mittlerweile auch in Spielen) nicht ausartet.

[@julkarcerum7618]

​@@Brot_ist_geilwhy is your pfp a nazi wojak?

[@PinkMarshmallows]

This looks so damn AWESOME! I haven't been this hyped for a game in a looong time.

[@TommyTucker74]

I'm actively trying to not get to hyped about this game, but the leads of the studio haven't disappointed me yet with any of the games they've been heavily involved with.

[@raymondobouvie]

It's developed with the best scifi writer alive - Peter Hamilton, and this is my fucking dream come true!

[@grailchaser]

Damn. Time dilation? I've been waiting for a game like this forever. I was so hoping Startfield would deal with this staple Sci Fi concept but it avoided it like every other game before it. There's an old manga limited run hard core sci fi series from the 90s which dealt with it neatly. I remember in particular the colony ship that got overtaken by the ship that left a generation after it. When the colony ship finally arrived at the virgin world that was its destination, the world had been colonised for several hundred years already.

[@Scorpious187]

"Elohim" is a Hebrew word, the plural of "god" (although when referring to the Jewish God, it's considered singular). It's pronounced "el-oh-HEEM". Also, I would bet money the pig named Charlotte is a reference to the children's book "Charlotte's Web" which is about a spider named Charlotte who saves a pig named Wilbur from being slaughtered.

[@NRV0]

I got the Charlotte reference right away but not the Elohim. The Elohim Celestials(and I'm going to include the other divergent Celestials as well) must be really haughty to take a name like that, since we already know they view their Human ancestors as primitive and no better than animals. Going to be fun taking them down.

[@leonardodavinci7425]

Pigs and all animals are in fact sentient.

[@assassinb460]

Don't let EA buy it.😅😅

[@IndigoSun-hz6cq]

With a recent Sci-Fi let down still hurting I'm going to rein in my expectations just a tad.. but, man it looks amazing, I can't wait to see how Charlotte fits in.. will there be a gene'd spider called Wilbur?!

[@4Skyrim]

How the hell did I miss this looks great!

[@luvmaika]

Do we get a ship? I love games that give you a ship as a mobile home base.

[@jacquesjtheripper5922]

I hope it is less goofy than most bioware games, and more serious, mature entertainment. And in the gameplay side too, with tactical gameplay, not silly shooting.., better if rtwp tactical, or even tbs. Also hope it has space action, exploration, its a sci-fi game, can we have actual meaty space part to it, not just in images and story.

[@eoftar3192]

Ah... the 42nd Millennium... 🤭

[@macccu]

For the Emperor we must cleanse those chaos - literally - pigs.

[@NRV0]

@@macccu Would the Imperium still consider the Celestials as "Human"? They look similar to the Aeldari but they still have Human lineage.

[@Spillow-C]

It looks more like Andromeda aesthetically, than actual Mass Effect

[@MrHulthen]

The art style is definitely different, and the tech is pretty remnanty. But other than that, i think we can expect something different (in a good way)

[@Spillow-C]

@@MrHulthen yeah i hope so, sci-fi games like this one are very few

[@BlazerManiacNumber96]

Andromeda’s gameplay with actual good writing would be a godsend

[@carlobellucci5063]

I am patiently waiting for this videogame to be released 🤝🏻

[@hyperdude144]

It's like Mass effect crossed with Alastair Reynolds! I love it!

[@Trollgernautt]

Just found out about this game and I'm already hyped, we really need more larger than life sci fi RPGs. There's too much generic sci fi going around, gimme something good!

[@triplebog]

The story of this game feels inspired by Alastair Reynolds's "House of Suns" --> Time dilation and huge time frames have led to humanity existing in a huge variety of forms with extreme differences, whether due to thousands of years of evolution or genetic engineering. Also the story spans thousands of years in galactic time while following individual characters over a much smaller span of their local reference time. The celestials could even directly be comparable to the main "lines" and houses of those books. Even down to the fact that the lines/galaxies are responsible for constructing and maintaining massive megastructures all over the galaxy

[@Mannimarco_King_of_Worms]

Although i'm sceptical, but hope the devs wont starfield us

[@Siphr0dias]

Thank you for condensing the info 😊

[@kevz2474]

Matthew's role in interstellar would make him a great mentor...similar stories.

[@ModernTalkingCentral]

Looks great so far, but I need to see a lot more, before deciding to purchase or pass on the game. The game is being developed by many former BioWare emploees, so that's a huge plus. Time will tell, but I'll be keeping my eyes on this game.

[@Swecan76]

Very excited about this game. I loved the OG Mass effect games. So having the writer of the first 2, I especially liked ME1, is awesome. So can easily expect deep lore and a good story. The Ohlen as designer and Chad etc. It looks super ambitious but they seem to really go in deep with story and groundwork. I hope it comes out soon. And I really hope Unreal Engine will not mess up the game with it's "traversal stutter issues".

My bet is Matthew is either the AI or Orion, or Orion as the AI of the ship.

[@Astartes-6969]

​@@Torsin2000 I've been watching the lore vids on the Exodus main channel, it's pretty good and Matthew is great as a Narrator. I think C.C. Orlev, the character he plays, is an A.I. similar to EDI, that'll help out the Player but also explains the Lore and Physics of the world.

[@goofymax0656]

No aliens?! Perposterous!! It looks fun though, would pick it up if it ends up being good 👍

[@MrHulthen]

Well i bet there's gonna be aliens, question is if they're gonna be sentient. Then again, you could basically say that Celestials are aliens since they're so far away the evolutionary chain to be considered human ;)

[@goofymax0656]

@@MrHulthen ah yes, the celestials, good point. But I guess we’ll just have to see once more details come out.

I bet there will be aliens not of Human lineage but I love this concept of the alien being us just 10 thousands of years in the future.

[@mermidion7552]

No aliens would be a bummer, it was already bad that starfield had none. Alien characters like Garrus and Wrex are what made Mass Effect interesting.

[@jakerooke174]

So we have an all star cast with this one

[@darksider7319]

If they do it right, and keep all the promisses. This game could rival Mass Effect. I definitly would love it if the make a female companion from this Celestials. I mean we already have a non human companion , you see one in the trailers. He looks like a massive robot who maybe could be sentient

[@NRV0]

I think you'll kind of get your wish since the main character themselves, named "Jun Aslan", is part Human and part Celestial.

[@MysticFL1-Beth]

It really looks close like Mass effect

[@daftpanda6533]

Mass Effect was a spiritual continuation of the Kotar series- without the LucasArts Licensing. At a guess that's when EA became the sole producer of Starwars games.

The game looks interesting but I do have reservations for the story. Time dilation may sound cool as a concept, but it's also incredibly easy to get wrong. I do have trust in their abilities, but time will tell.

[@NRV0]

Archetype Entertainment seems pretty confident in that they got this concept down right for their game so I'm not to worried. With this being an RPG game where player choices will be different from each player and the timeline being 10s of thousands of years in the future, Time Dilation will play well with future sequels. You can have Players make different choices by the end of the first game, then have the sequel game set 20,000yrs later where those choices made in the first aren't so relevant anymore.

I hope it isn't 'the day before' incident

[@dreamingflurry2729]

Hm...it sounds interesting, but if the space travel always advances time by a "lifetime" then that sounds bad, I mean one of the great things of the Mass Effect games was being able to travel to the game's hubs (Citadel, Omega, etc.) whenever you wanted (unless it's during a mission of course) :) Also haven't seen much aliens yet and without them it'll be a tad boring, the likes of Tali, Liara, Garrus, Wrex etc. made Mass Effect truly worth playing! If I had only had human companions, then it would have been a tad bland!

[@orarinnsnorrason4614]

A game done in unreal engine doesn't equal great game. That being said I'm intrigued and this is on my radar now.
