The Game Awards is a couple of weeks away, and everyone’s buzzing with excitement, wondering what titles will appear. More games will surely be announced in advance, but we at least know that Mass Effect spiritual successor, Exodus, will premiere a new trailer, hopefully announcing a release date.
Exodus was first revealed at The Game Awards 2023, with Matthew McConaughey, one of the biggest A-list celebrities, taking to the stage. Rather than a needless cameo, McConaughey’s presence was worthwhile as he is actually a part of the game. The Interstellar star returns to the sci-fi genre, voicing the character C.C. Orlev.
What’s most exciting about Exodus is that it comes from a team of former BioWare veterans, including Drew Karpyshyn, who is the narrative director and was the lead writer for Mass Effect 1 and 2.
Similar to Mass Effect, Exodus is a sci-fi RPG where you play as Jun Aslan, a salvager turned Traveler. It is third-person and, again, like Mass Effect, you will fight alongside companions with strengths and weaknesses.
We can’t wait to see more of Exodus at The Game Awards on December 11, and we’re praying a release date will be announced. As for the next Mass Effect game, don’t expect to see it anytime soon.
While Exodus is officially confirmed for Geoff Keighley’s event, there are other exciting rumors. Death Stranding 2 is rated for PC, sparking hopes of an announcement at TGA. There’s hope that the next Tomb Raider will appear with fresh rumors again claiming that it is an open-world adventure. Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Remake is also reportedly coming out before March 31 next year.
There are also rumors that Half-Life 3 will be announced before the end of this year. However, it’s not expected at The Game Awards.
