Exodus, the upcoming sci-fi space opera from Archetype Entertainment, just dropped a new lore update surrounding an unfathomable power.
After announcing the intention to build a sci-fi RPG of epic scale, Archetype Entertainment has been busy fleshing out the lore behind this upcoming universe. Set in a realm where humanity fled a dying earth, Exodus is ripe with lore to plunder. The latest story update delves into the role of incredible Archimedes Engines and the threats they face.
Built by a powerful Celestial civilization. These gigantic devices provide a haven for a homeless species. They are able to move entire planets, terraform, and reshape their habitat to Human needs. While co-opted by humanity to reshape worlds to create new homes, their secrets are beyond the wit of any modern sapiens. Now failing or under threat, a quest seems inevitable to find answers to the Rot.
The tale is available in full over on the Exodus website, and is only a slice of the story that ready Travelers will face. The team has already start to expand on the galactic timeline and published a tale about the mythical Elohim. If this is all new to you then you need to find out more about the Traveler. Otherwise known as Jun, the heir of Orion Aslan, the native of Lidon will soon start a quest to save his home from the emerging threat oof the Rot and the failing Archimedes Engine. Fans of Mass Effect should take note.
If you’re looking for more lore or answer on what is hanging out on the edge of known space, developer Archetype released a Founders Q&A led by studio co-founders James Ohlen and Chad Robertson as they answer more questions. Check out the complete Q&A via YouTube to keep up on everything known so far on this new universe. To delve ever further into the Archimedes Engines, a promised set of books from novelist Peter F. Hamilton look set to explore the machinations of the powerful contraptions, with the first book titled ‘EXODUS: THE ARCHIMEDES ENGINE’ coming soon.
