For those of us who can’t get enough of exploring vast digital realms, sci-fi games often tick all the right boxes. That makes sense, right? The genre offers boundless possibilities, with countless worlds ripe for adventure. The trick with these games is finding the sweet spot—no one wants to spend endless hours zipping around a barren galaxy just because it’s expansive. On the flip side, a universe shouldn’t be packed with countless monotonous fetch quests either. When developers master this balance, they create thrilling adventures. Enter Cubic Odyssey, ready to sweep us away on a fresh escapade.
Developed by Atypical Games and released by Gaijin Entertainment, Cubic Odyssey kicks off with players crash-landing on a distant planet. From there, your mission is to mine resources, refine materials, and slowly build everything from basic tools and outposts to vehicles. Eventually, you’ll construct starships, your ticket to freely exploring the galaxy.
In Cubic Odyssey, every twinkling star in the sky anchors a star system teeming with planets ready for exploration. Each of these celestial bodies hosts its unique ecosystems and day-night cycles. There’s more: bustling cities full of NPCs, pirate outposts, and neglected ruins hiding treasures await discovery. As you embark on this enormous quest, your ultimate goal is to confront the Red Darkness, a galactic epidemic that mutates wildlife, devours planets, and threatens all life.
This game boasts seamless transitions between ground, air, and space travel. Expect exhilarating warp jumps between star systems and high-speed cruises between planets. On the surface, zoom across alien terrain on speeders and dive into underground ruins or secret locations on foot. Cubic Odyssey seems designed to adapt to diverse playstyles.
For those who enjoy teamwork, Cubic Odyssey offers an optional co-op mode. Team up with fellow adventurers to tackle massive enemies, initiate orbital bombardments, or collaborate on colossal mega structures. It’s an opportunity for shared adventures with friends in this captivating world.
“We aim to create a limitless open world where each planet, each system, and each moment is yours to mold,” says Andrei Lopata, CEO of the Bucharest-based Atypical Games.
Cubic Odyssey promises a thrilling experience for gamers who love having endless activities at their fingertips. If the vast expanse of space calls to you, keep an eye out. Cubic Odyssey is anticipated to arrive on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X later this year. Stay tuned for more exciting details as the release date approaches.
