For those of us with a penchant for exploration, certain games simply capture our attention. Often, they dwell within the realm of science fiction, which, truth be told, is a fitting genre. It deftly equips us with a myriad of worlds to uncover. But the challenge with expansive titles is achieving the right balance. No one is keen on spending hours wandering an empty galaxy just for the sake of its vastness. Conversely, bombarding players with endless fetch quests to feign content isn’t the answer either. When developers strike that perfect balance, though, we’re in for an exhilarating adventure. Enter Cubic Odyssey—a game that promises to take us on a fresh escapade, and today, we’re diving into it.
Developed by the creative minds at Atypical Games and brought to us by Gaijin Entertainment, Cubic Odyssey kicks off with a bang—you crash land on an unknown planet. From this point forward, the universe is your oyster: mine resources, refine materials, and construct everything from basic tools and outposts to sophisticated vehicles. Ultimately, you’ll need to build starships that will unlock the vast galaxies for free exploration.
Every star you glimpse is central to a system teeming with planets ripe for exploration. These worlds each boast unique ecosystems and dynamic day-night cycles. Discover bustling cities, pirate outposts, and mysterious ruins, all waiting for brave souls to explore them. The overarching mission? To thwart the pernicious spread of the Red Darkness—a galactic scourge that mutates wildlife and devours planets. The fate of existence rests in your hands.
Cubic Odyssey promises fluid transitions between ground, air, and space. You’ll warp through star systems and zoom between planets at impressive speeds. On the ground, navigate alien terrain using speeders and traverse subterranean ruins on foot. The game aims to cater to diverse playstyles, ensuring variety in every adventure.
Prefer teaming up with others? Cubic Odyssey has got you covered. Dive into its optional cooperative mode, where you and fellow adventurers can join forces. Together, you can vanquish colossal enemies, initiate orbital bombardments, or even construct massive co-op mega structures. Friends and fellow gamers will undoubtedly find countless escapades awaiting them.
“We intend to build a boundless open world where every planet, every system, and every moment is yours to shape,” says Andrei Lopata, CEO of Bucharest-based Atypical Games.
For those who thrive on an ever-expanding to-do list, Cubic Odyssey looks set to deliver endless enjoyment. If the mysterious depths of space call to you, anticipate its release on PC, PS5, and Xbox S/X later this year. Stay tuned for more updates as we edge closer to its unveiling.
