In EXO One, the focus is shifted away from traditional sci-fi and space game tropes, such as space combat. Instead, it encourages a relaxed state of flow by using a gravity-based movement system to traverse and explore high sci-fi planets.

Pilot a spherical, gravity powered probe through awe-inspiring, enigmatic alien worlds. Watch cloud formations float across barren, lightning wracked fields. Drop beneath the waves of an ocean world. Ride the peaks of mountain tops and slide down alien dunes.

Upon reaching the first planet, players will encounter a surreal alien presence almost defying explanation. Accompanying the gameplay are highly atmospheric visuals, otherworldly audio and a hypnotic, electric guitar and synth-laden soundtrack.

EXO One is and continues to be inspired by the many discoveries of the Kepler spacecraft, and the mysteries of what may lay out in interstellar space for future explorers.

During the Xbox Games Showcase event, Australian developer Exbleative and indie publisher Future Friends Games announced that Exo One will be coming to the Xbox Series X.

“I’m super stoked that this game I've poured the last 4 years of my life into is going to be launching on Xbox's next-gen console!” said Jay Weston, developer of Exo One. “Having the Xbox team believe in what we’re creating here is a massive deal for me, and I can’t wait to see Exo One slugging it out with all the big-name titles on that shiny new Xbox store!”

Key Features:

• An array of unique, open worlds to explore, from traditional terrestrial planets to water worlds to gas giants
• Pilot a probe featuring multiple movement modes. Rolling, sliding, gliding/flying, with control over gravity and anti-gravity.
• Use these movement modes to build momentum, slide down dunes and catapult off hilltops.
• Glide through clouds and catch thermals that lift you high into alien atmospheres.
• Drop beneath the waves of boiling oceans under the glow of distant suns.
• Wind down and travel at your own pace. There are no challenges, wars or enemies.
• Listen to the sounds of the planets and contemplate the alien presence that occupies them.
• A minimalist yet mysterious narrative that allows players to form their own conclusions of the story.

EXO One is coming to Xbox Series X and PC (Steam) in Winter 2020.
