00:26Hey everyone, I'm Chris King,
00:28game director on Exodus. In Exodus, you play as a traveler venturing on
00:34dangerous missions deep into space in search of powerful alien remnants that
00:39can save your dying homeworld. You'll journey to deadly planets, derelict
00:44ships, and the remains of lost worlds, while using your wits and teamwork to
00:50survive the terrifying creatures that try to stop you. Along the way, you'll
00:56choose who to fight beside, who to fall for, and who to leave behind. You play as
01:04June Aslan, a lowly salvager living on the outskirts of Leiden. This is where his
01:10story begins, alongside his awakened friend Houston.
01:13June, hey, come on.
01:20Houston?
01:21I'm here. Are you?
01:26Yeah. Yeah, I think so. June was orphaned from a once powerful family. He has a unique and
01:35mysterious genetic trait that lets him interact with ancient celestial technology. And it's this
01:41trait which might be the key to saving your home planet.
01:51You'll be able to customize your June as a male or female, with several options to
01:57adjust your appearance. At the start of the game, you'll also choose your
02:01character's initial alignment, either a virtuous paladin or an ambitious immortal.
02:07Drop your weapons. Get on the ground. Lev, don't be stupid. They've got a combat mech.
02:11Drop your weapons now.
02:12These choices will shape your character and change how the world responds to you.
02:17Listen to your friend, and let this go.
02:19Not gonna happen, humorous play scum.
02:23Let's check out some work-in-progress gameplay so you can get a feel for the systems, storytelling,
02:29choices, and characters that make up Exodus.
02:34The first two companions you meet are Elise and Tom. Elise is an impatient mech pilot that loves to
02:41blow stuff up and leans into brute force.
02:44Tom is an experienced traveler who helps teach June the ropes. He tends to be more
02:49cautious and provides June with moral perspective. Let's join them as they start a new salvage mission.
02:54All loaded up?
02:55Uh-huh. Gears in storage. My lovely suit. Good to go.
03:01Where's Tom?
03:02Last minute prep. Or drinking. Probably both.
03:10Does he do that often? Drinking right before a job?
03:14Man's got his vices, but he gets shit done, okay? Nothing else to say.
03:23Good. You made it. Let's have fun.
03:27Throughout your journey, you'll team up with a diverse crew of companions like Salt and Awakened Octopus.
03:33We got your back, June. You too, Salt.
03:36Not necessary. If you die, I leave. Contrast void.
03:41Wow. You don't mince words, do you?
03:44It's an auto thing. You'll get used to it.
03:47Alright. Time to move out.
03:49You'll also meet other interesting characters, like the mysterious Cece Orlev, voiced by Matthew McConaughey.
03:57Howdy, friend. Strange times we find ourselves in. Name Cece Orlev.
04:08In this scene, Cece helps out June by giving him a recycler upgrade.
04:13With the new modification added, let's see how we can put it to good use in combat.
04:23June, what's it look like in there?
04:24A lot of mercs. But I think I can thin a few of them out without being seen.
04:29We got your back, June. Things go bad? We'll kick in that door and come running.
04:33How you engage the enemy is up to you. In this encounter, June has to deal with a deadly turret.
04:39Along with Lycan, the leader of the Fire Eaters, he's heavily protected and things could get out of hand quick.
04:46Let's use this new recycler mod to stealthily take out some enemies and make things a bit easier.
04:52How are some of you amazing about the way I'm running things now?
04:55You'll want to expect that better fall in line, or I'll start taking fingers.
05:01Next, let's use the Scramble Cloak to sneak up on some enemies.
05:05Oh, that was a shit leader. No vision. No discipline. We're going to do things different now than I'm in
05:12charge.
05:13First step, cutting out the dead weight. You're all about to start burning your kit.
05:17This turret is protected with heavy armor. Let's toss a thruster grenade to deal massive damage.
05:40So that's fine, huh?
05:42Not a heroic epic weapon.
05:42Let's keep going.
05:42Actually the cœur of the foieibi.
05:42Firefight is really�ed a lot about this, as you can fear the other.
05:42Let's move on in fuwreck.
05:44There's an customization of pandemics.
05:44Let's unanimous hope.
05:46Let's move on.
05:50Ao乾ouca's часто go.
05:51But let's move on in.
05:51Okay, lad over the whole street launch down их where
06:15Awesome, that did the trick.
06:17We now catch up to the team having made it to the salvage, however rival mercenaries
06:22have already staked their claim.
06:45June and team have managed to push through the enemy defenses to the control room and
06:50now face a pivotal choice.
06:52June, time to do your thing.
06:58I'm in.
06:59Taking the guns offline now.
07:04Wait.
07:05Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, this is a control room, right?
07:09Should be a way to open the airlock doors.
07:11Plast all those damn works out into space in one shot.
07:14Whoa, hold on.
07:16There could be dock workers and maintenance crew in there.
07:18We can't just vent the airlock.
07:20Fuck that.
07:21We're gonna walk up there to verify who's a merc and who's a zealot dock worker who
07:25might just kill us on sight anyway?
07:39Tom's right.
07:40We can't be reckless when lives are at stake.
07:44But you don't mind putting our lives at risk?
07:50I'd rather die in a fair fight than risk killing a single innocent bystander.
07:56Whatever.
07:58I could use some more target practice anyway.
08:01Let's move.
08:02We've given the Mercs too much of a head start already.
08:07As you travel across the cluster, you will hear stories of those who have been affected
08:13by time, like Tom's account of why he can never go home.
08:17You know the strangest part of being out here?
08:23Years have already passed on Leiden.
08:27Exactly.
08:28Spend a few hours on this world, a few days, a few weeks.
08:32It's all the same for the people back home.
08:34In between missions, you'll journey back to Persepolis, your primary hub and a major
08:40city on Leiden for both humans and Awakened.
08:43Good morning.
08:44Afternoon?
08:45I forget.
08:46Regardless.
08:47Nice to meet you.
08:48You...
08:49Forget?
08:50Ah, you're doing the thing.
08:52The elephant forgot something.
08:54Is it better or worse if I notice or not?
08:56Here, you'll embark on new missions, experience how your choices shape the world around you,
09:01and meet new companions, like Phaedra Nath, a genius scientist and technician who's eager
09:08to help.
09:08Oh, I'm sorry.
09:10The lights, you need them, don't you?
09:12And you don't?
09:13No, no.
09:14The eyes, they don't work.
09:16So I built my own.
09:19Spectrum's different.
09:20External light sources are irrelevant, but it's close enough to what you would call, you
09:23know, sight.
09:25Impressive.
09:26The rot's grown vicious and it's only getting worse.
09:29People call it radiation, decay, but it's so much more than that.
09:34It rewrites celestial programming, intelligently, adaptively, intelligently, like it's alive.
09:42Your homeworld of Leiden is facing extinction due to a celestial virus called the rot.
09:49You'll need to travel across the Centauri cluster in search of a possible cure.
09:54Phaedra's grandfather was a legendary traveler named Elijah Nath.
09:58He left Leiden to investigate the rot before disappearing decades ago.
10:03You travel with Phaedra to a planet called Sang, hoping to find some trace of his discoveries.
10:09I must thank you for this opportunity, June.
10:11For allowing me to be part of this.
10:14No point in waiting around.
10:16Next stop, Sang.
10:19Sang is a rocky exoplanet covered in a sulfurous atmosphere.
10:23You'll need to traverse across the deadly terrain to discover the ancient ruins where Elijah's
10:29ship crashed.
10:30Oh.
10:31Wow.
10:32Not a dead moon at all.
10:35Okay, there were celestials here once.
10:38How remarkable.
10:39Along with Phaedra, we've decided to bring salt.
10:42Her long-range sniper rifle and abilities that specialize in confusing enemies should come
10:48in handy.
10:49Livestone deposits on those rocks in the center of the lake.
10:52If I can get there, I should be able to make a path across.
10:55Right!
10:55Perfect!
10:56I suppose we'll just...
10:57You know, wait, um, here.
11:03Sang has always been extremely volatile.
11:07Completely unideal for civilization, even during the age of the Detoneer.
11:12Incredible!
11:13Your induction clearly shapes the Livestone itself, but what dictates the extent?
11:19Oh, so many questions and possibilities.
11:26This is already shaping up to be a most fortuitous partnership.
11:30Early travelers explored this moon, but they never reported anything of interest.
11:35The ones that survived, anyway.
11:37Of course, there have always been rumors in certain circles that one of the Detoneer factions
11:43may have hidden caches of treasure here.
11:45What kind of ghost is that?
11:47I don't know, but I'd wager it's not friendly.
12:07The, um, number of ghosts is not, uh, decreasing.
12:43What kind of ghost has always been discovered in this space?
12:44I don't know.
12:44There were some小ems.
12:44I mean, I know they don't have much Might have to take that far out.
12:46I mean, you know that.
12:46I have just had to find that other units in the past now.
12:48I need to find this place where they were sensitive.
12:52I'm gonna go.
12:52I'm gonna try to find this place.
12:52I'm gonna go.
12:53You look out.
12:53You look out as far as you can see.
12:54You look out as you can see.
12:57I'm gonna go.
12:57I'm gonna kill you in this space.
12:58You look out, y'all go look out.
13:01Oh, I crab.
13:06I'm gonna get that far as you can see.
13:07Interesting. That door is also Celestial. It looks like... Yes. Yes, this is definitely Truthseeker architecture.
13:16I might be able to use my drone to open this door. Shall I try?
13:23This is an incredible discovery, you know? So little of saying has been explored.
13:29Because, well, because it's, you know, so hostile.
13:32But now we can confirm that the Detoneer Celestial did have a presence here.
13:37During missions, June will discover ancient technologies that upgrade his gauntlet.
13:42A powerful artifact passed down to him from his father.
13:46Once upgraded, it unlocks new possibilities for both traversal and combat.
13:53Any idea what this is?
13:56I can't decipher it, but clearly this artifact was held in your great reverence.
14:03June, be careful.
14:05A Celestial technology can affect human bodies in unexpected ways.
14:23What happened? Are you all right?
14:25I'm fine.
14:27This took me by surprise.
14:30I've never faced anything so powerful.
14:34Let's see if this gets us past that Bramble.
14:39Here we see June acquiring Lance, a powerful new gauntlet ability that can pierce and destroy Bramble, a byproduct of
14:48the rock.
14:59After pushing Deep Rim to Sang, they learn a shocking truth.
15:05Phaedra's grandfather is still alive and guarding a terrible secret.
15:24Elijah has unleashed a corrupted and extremely powerful war machine on the team.
15:43And there's nothing else.
15:44Just jedem is worried that you fight against it.
15:44That was good, and we'll do a big, and they're never coming.
15:44Youđ
15:46Don't want to be afraid of a prisoner Shy locally.
15:46I'll blast him filling from the drunken capital output.
15:49Just something I know.
15:49It's not a chance of being's weapon.
15:49Let's gopple.
16:00Let's go.
16:26Let's go.
17:00Let's go.
17:15With the construct defeated, June and Phaedra must now confront Elijah, hoping to persuade
17:22him to share the secrets contained in Sang.
17:25Without this information, Lydon will be destroyed by the Rock.
17:30This place is forbidden.
17:32I warned you not to come here.
17:35Throw away your legacy.
17:41Phaedra!
17:43Elijah, please.
17:44Whatever you are afraid of, the answer isn't more bloodshed.
17:51I need a promise!
17:53A solemn oath!
17:55I cannot stop you from claiming the secrets of this world, but my dynasty will be no
18:01part of this.
18:04Elijah, what are you doing?
18:06The math bloodline ends here, my child.
18:11With me, and with you.
18:14I will take our dynasty to the grave rather than allow it to fall to the sway of Orion's
18:20spawn.
18:25I don't want to kill you.
18:27Drop your weapon and this doesn't have to end in bloodshed.
18:30But my dynasty ends here.
18:43This has been a small peek into the larger world of Exodus.
18:48We're in the final stretch of development now and will be sharing more details all the
18:53way up to launch.
18:53In the meantime, wishlist on your favorite platform now and become a traveler today.
