Exo One is a sci-fi adventure video game developed by Australian developer Exbleative and published by Future Friends Games for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Windows via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store. [4] The game launched on November 18, 2021. [5] It launched on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on June 27, 2024. [6]
Premising humanity's first mission outside the Solar System, players take control of an alien spacecraft and travel across the surface of surreal worlds. [7] The craft utilizes three modes of movement; roll, glide and fly; to gather momentum and propel forward, enabling players to explore the skies or dive into the oceans of a particular planet. [8] Exploration is highlighted by an electric guitar soundtrack as well as a vocal narration delving into the game's story. [9]
Influenced by momentum-based titles like iOS mobile game Tiny Wings, as well as atmospheric indie adventure Journey, [10] lead developer Jay Weston began full-time work on Exo One in early 2016, [7] and launched a successful Kickstarter campaign for the project in 2017. [11] In addition, Tim Mcburnie served as a conceptual artist for the game, musician Rhys Lindsay provided the soundtrack, while programmer Dave Kazi assisted Weston with coding. [8]
