For those of us who love to dive into vast, uncharted territories, exploration games hold a special place in our hearts. The sci-fi genre seems to dominate this space, offering an endless array of worlds to discover. However, crafting these massive universes is a tricky balancing act. No one wants to spend endless hours drifting through a barren galaxy, nor are we keen on completing a mindless array of fetch quests just to pretend we have something to do. But when developers hit that sweet spot, the adventure becomes truly magical. Enter Cubic Odyssey, the latest title hoping to take us on such a thrilling journey.
Developed by Atypical Games and published by Gaijin Entertainment, Cubic Odyssey kicks off right after a crash landing on a distant planet. From this starting point, players are tasked with gathering resources, refining materials, and crafting everything from simple tools to complex outposts, vehicles, and eventually, the starships that will unlock the galaxy for free exploration.
Every star in Cubic Odyssey’s night sky is the heart of its own star system, teeming with planets ripe for exploration. Each of these planets boasts its unique ecosystem and dynamic day-night cycles. They’re home to bustling cities filled with NPCs, rogue pirate bases, and perilous ruins waiting to be explored. The overarching quest involves halting the spread of the Red Darkness, a menacing galactic blight that mutates wildlife, devours planets, and poses a threat to all living things.
The game promises seamless transitions between ground, air, and space travel. As you play, you’ll warp between star systems and zip between planets at lightning speed. On the ground, you’ll navigate alien terrains on speeders and venture into underground ruins on foot. This game offers the flexibility and freedom to craft your own adventure as you see fit.
If solo voyages aren’t your style, Cubic Odyssey accommodates co-op gameplay. You and your partners can band together to take down formidable foes, launch orbital strikes, or collaborate in building massive structures. For players looking to share this experience with friends, there’s plenty of excitement to be had.
Andrei Lopata, CEO of Bucharest-based Atypical Games, shares the vision behind the game: “We intend to build a boundless open world where every planet, every system, and every moment is yours to shape."
For those who seek never-ending tasks and the vast mysteries of deep space, Cubic Odyssey promises hours of entertainment. It’s slated to release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S later this year. Stay tuned for more updates as we edge closer to launch—this intriguing game is one you’ll want to watch.
