Exoborne throws its hat into the ring, positioning itself as a direct competitor to heavyweights Escape From Tarkov and Call of Duty Warzone DMZ. Developed by Sharkmob, this tactical open-world extraction shooter game aims to captivate players with its unique approach and innovative features. We took a behind-the-scenes look and spoke with the creators about this promising project.
An Apocalyptic Adventure Awaits
In Exoborne, you immerse yourself in a post-apocalyptic version of the United States ravaged by extreme natural disasters. Your task is to gather resources to craft vital equipment and the distinctive Exo-Rigs for your squad. Martin Hultberg, the narrative director, and Brynley Gibson, the executive producer, shared their vision for the game and why it will be intriguing for players.
Dynamic Weather as a Game Changer
A key element of Exoborne is the dynamic weather system that creates unpredictable experiences. Gibson emphasized how this system interacts with other aspects of the game, including global events, the way NPCs appear, and, of course, with other players. Introducing dangerous natural disasters like tornadoes and lightning strikes not only poses a threat but also provides opportunities to use them to your advantage.
The Challenge of Survival
In addition to the weather, the developers discussed a massive mega-storm event that severely limits visibility and presents players with the ultimate survival challenge. These events require smart thinking and strategic planning to find both shelter and opportunities for looting.
A Different Level of Engagement
Addressing concerns about the longevity of Exoborne, especially considering Sharkmob's previous project Vampire the Masquerade Bloodhunt, which was discontinued, Hultberg emphasized the team's commitment to this new, independently developed, and fully supported project. Exoborne not only represents a different level of engagement from Sharkmob but also enjoys the full support of its current publisher.
No Release Date Yet, But Excitement is Building
Exoborne does not have an official release date yet, but the excitement is mounting. Players who want to stay updated can visit the game's Steam page and add it to their wishlist. With its ambitious vision and the promise to deliver a unique gaming experience, Exoborne is poised to revolutionize the world of extraction shooters.
Exoborne offers a fascinating blend of tactical gameplay, survival combat, and a dynamic world that aims to compete with some of the biggest names in the shooter genre. With its fresh perspective and the developers' dedication, this game could be exactly what genre fans are looking for. Let's hope that Exoborne achieves its ambitious goals and delivers a long-lasting and captivating gaming experience.
