'EXO One' Finally Comes To PS4 And PS5 Later This Month - Trailer

by Rainier on June 18, 2024 @ 3:05 p.m. PDT

EXO One is a momentum-based exoplanetary exploration game where you pilot an alien craft capable of manipulating the laws of gravity, on mankind's first, ill-fated mission outside the solar system.

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.

Originally planned for Summer 2022, Publisher All in! Games, working with Future Friends Games and Australian developer Exbleative (AKA Jay Weston), announced that Exo One is coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on June 27, 2024!

Updated Features

To make the experience more immersive than ever before, the PS5 version will utilize the Haptic Feedback features of the DualSense controller, enhancing immersion and simulating the feeling of gravity defying flight. The game will also include 120fps support so players with high refresh rate TVs and monitors can enjoy smooth breathtaking visuals alongside ultra-responsive gameplay.

Adaptive triggers will put resistance when going uphill and vibrate when you reach the speed of light. Players will feel even more engaged in the game world with the special sounds for reaching colossal speeds and entering a portal. What’s more, the colors of the sky in specific scenes will be reflected on the game pad.

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.

Currently available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam), EXO One is coming to PS4 and PS5 on June 27, 2024.
