The Nerd Stash: "Archetype Entertainment has big plans for Exodus, including bending time in ways that not even Starfield or Mass Effect attempted."
SECRET LEVEL is a new adult-animated anthology series featuring original stories set within the worlds of some of the most beloved video games.

Games that inspired the 15 epic stories include Armored Core, Concord, Crossfire, Dungeons & Dragons, Exodus, Honor of Kings, Mega Man, New World: Aeternum, PAC-MAN, various PlayStation Studios games, Sifu, Spelunky, The Outer Worlds, Unreal Tournament and Warhammer 40,000. SECRET LEVEL, arrives on Prime Video December 10.
EXODUS was one of the most interesting game reveals at The Game Awards 2023. It is the debut project of Archetype Entertainment, an Austin-based studio helmed by former BioWare legend James Ohlen (who worked on classics like the first Baldur's Gate games, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Dragon Age: Origins) and owned by Wizards of the Coast. Shortly after its foundation, the studio was joined by another ex BioWare veteran: writer Drew Karpyshyn, known mostly as the lead writer of the acclaimed first two Mass Effect games.
AAA RPG? How quaint. Call me when the fourth A makes its appearance. Otherwise, YAWN!
While 5A games are just a bit too wild for me...for now, at $70 plus tax for the broken base game, an extra $200+ for the complete experience plus a year of patches to fix all of it, AAAA games are just right. Perfect experience if you ask me.
But Triple A games? LOL! What am I? A pleb? As if...
Upcoming PS5 and Xbox RPG Exodus will take players through time in an epic sci-fi story and your choices could have massive ripple effects.
I hope they get this good cause the trailer was pretty damn interesting. Maybe it wasn't a trailer it was something on it I watched. Anyway looked damn good
I won't wait for reviews as there BS these days but I'll certainly need to see some 15 mins walkthrough gameplay before I decide.
The games looks promising as fu*k
The last time I was fooled into believing that a game takes place in the span of a large amount of time was with FF15, and it ended up being a time skip straight to the ending boss. Then we're gaslit into believing that our high expectations weren't the result of hype.
I remember Driver: Parallel Lines actually did the time skip pretty well. You start in the 70s, go to prison after a while, and then the final 3rd of the game is in the 00s with modern cars and buildings. It would be nice to see that more in games.
