It’s been eight long years since the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda, and with the current state of EA and BioWare it’s hard to say how Mass Effect 5 will pan out — or if the game will even see the light of day at all. But Mass Effect fans don’t need to despair, as a couple of key games are hoping to move into Mass Effect’s legacy — and chief among those is Exodus.
The studio behind Exodus, Archetype Entertainment, was founded by key developers from BioWare’s history, including Baldur’s Gate I & II creative director James Ohlen, and Mass Effect I & II writer Drew Karpyshyn. The talent and experience is undeniably there, and it’s hard to looks at Exodus and not see the influence of Mass Effect. But the team at Archetype also wants to do something different, made clear by the game’s bold new trailer at The Game Awards. Inverse had the chance to see the game’s new reveal early, and hear more about Exodus’ ambitions from the developers.
