We’re going to go out on a limb and say that these Exodus showcases are beginning to test our patience. Summer and its extended gameplay presentation can’t get here soon enough, thanks to Archetype showing off yet another peek behind its development curtain.
It’s Persepolis that’s getting the spotlight this time around, and it’s a place that protagonist Jun Aslan calls home. It’s quite the city, with many interesting sights that his Precognition highlights with ease. We’ve got a massive orbiting gas giant, Galarus, and Oupávia Space Tower that still holds signs of a glorious past. The city below us feels like it could be an entire world all on its own in a game whose scope isn’t as ambitious as this one.
Persepolis joins several other interesting destinations, such as the volcanic ruin that was previously showcased, and frozen planet. Of course, navigating all those biomes is going to be made pretty easy thanks to a bunch of cool weapons, tools, and abilities that Aslan and co. are bringing to the table.
We’re predicting that the upcoming showcase ties all of these snippets together quite nicely. Whether that eases our impatience or exacerbates it until the game’s 2027 release for the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S is anybody’s guess. In the meantime, check out our beta impressions for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, the other Mass Effect-like coming next year.
