For those of us drawn to the thrill of exploration, there’s nothing quite like diving into a game that opens up a universe of possibilities. Often, the sci-fi realm becomes our playground, offering endless worlds to uncover. However, striking the right balance in these games is crucial. While a vast galaxy can be tempting, no one wants to waste hours merely traversing empty voids. Conversely, an overload of trivial tasks just to appear busy can be equally off-putting. Yet, when developers manage to get it right, the adventure is nothing short of exhilarating. Enter Cubic Odyssey, a fresh entry in the genre that promises to whisk us away on an epic journey.
Born from the creative minds at Atypical Games and brought to life by Gaijin Entertainment, Cubic Odyssey sets the stage on a distant planet where you’ve crash-landed. From this point, your mission is to harvest resources, refine them, and craft everything from basic tools to advanced starships, unlocking the freedom to chart your course among the stars.
Every twinkling star you see marks the heart of a star system teeming with planets ripe for exploration in Cubic Odyssey. Each world you encounter boasts its own unique ecosystem and dynamic day-night cycles. You’ll stumble upon bustling cities flooded with NPCs, pirate hideouts, and haunting ruins waiting to be explored. Your grand mission across this galactic landscape is to thwart the spread of the Red Darkness, a malevolent force that mutates wildlife and devours planets, threatening all forms of life.
Cubic Odyssey ensures a seamless transition between ground, air, and space travel. Expect thrilling warp jumps among star systems and the exhilarating rush of speeding between planets. On the ground, explore alien terrains with speeders or delve into the enigmatic depths of ruins on foot. The game caters to your every exploratory whim.
For those who thrive on shared adventures, Cubic Odyssey doesn’t disappoint. Its co-op mode lets you team up with fellow explorers. Together, you’ll tackle formidable enemies, orchestrate orbital assaults, or construct monumental structures. It’s a game that promises countless thrilling escapades with friends.
Andrei Lopata, CEO of Atypical Games, articulates their vision well: “We intend to build a boundless open world where every planet, every system, and every moment is yours to shape.”
If you’re someone who relishes having a plethora of tasks and vast space to lose yourself in, Cubic Odyssey is gearing up to be your playground. Anticipated to launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox S/X later this year, it’s a title to watch for. Keep your radar tuned as more details fly in closer to release.
