Last month, we traveled to Austin, Texas to play Exodus, a promising sci-fi RPG made by former Mass Effect developers. We cover a lot of ground in our exclusive 14-page cover story, including several missions of hands-on gameplay, but the piece ends with impressions of a mission set on Khonsu. It’s an orbital platform above Lidon, the game’s home world, and it’s home to a society of giant talking frogs. In other words, it was a highlight of the demo.
Today, I (Charles Harte) am joined by senior associate editor Marcus Stewart as I finally get to show off the sequence I saw firsthand on the cover story trip. It includes stealthy (and not-so-stealthy) combat encounters, a major narrative decision, and a boss fight against a massive armor-clad War Bear. You can check it out for yourself below.
For more Exodus, you can head to our coverage hub, which we’ll be updating all month with new articles and videos. If you’re a fan of talking animals, there are already pieces about Salt, the mech-piloting octopus companion, and the Kay, the aforementioned frogs. And as always, for more exclusive game coverage, you can subscribe to our physical magazine, which is now available all around the world.
