If you’re someone who loves the thrill of exploring different worlds through gaming, there’s a new title on the horizon that’s bound to grab your attention. While many of these exploration games lean heavily into the sci-fi genre—because, let’s face it, sci-fi is the perfect canvas for galactic adventures—there’s always a balancing act involved. No gamer wants to aimlessly wander through empty galaxies simply because they’re vast. But at the same time, no one appreciates an overload of fetch quests just to keep busy. When developers strike the right balance, the adventure feels seamless and exciting. Today, we’re diving into Cubic Odyssey, the latest game aiming to take us on a fresh new journey.
Crafted by the team at Atypical Games and brought to life by Gaijin Entertainment, Cubic Odyssey kicks off with an exciting start: you’re crash-landed on a distant planet. From there, it’s up to you to mine resources, refine materials, and construct everything from tools and bases to vehicles and eventually starships. These starships will open the doors to the wonders of galaxy-wide exploration.
In Cubic Odyssey, every visible star is more than just a pretty twinkle—it’s the heart of a star system waiting to be explored, each with its own unique planets and ecosystems. Imagine cities bustling with NPCs, pirate outposts lurking with danger, and mysterious ruins ripe for exploration. The central narrative challenges players with the colossal task of stopping the Red Darkness—a destructive force disrupting the galaxy by mutating wildlife and threatening all life forms.
This game promises seamless transitions between ground, air, and space travel. Fancy a warp jump across star systems or zipping between planets? You can do that. Feel like cruising across alien landscapes on a speedy hovercraft or delving into ancient underground ruins? That’s in the cards too. Cubic Odyssey aims to provide a versatile adventure tailored to your gaming style.
If solo missions aren’t your thing, Cubic Odyssey has your back with its optional co-op mode, perfect for teaming up with fellow adventurers. Together, you can take on formidable enemies, execute orbital strikes, or even collaborate on building massive structures. Two heads—or more—are better than one when tackling the challenges this game throws your way.
Andrei Lopata, the CEO of Atypical Games based in Bucharest, shared their vision: “We intend to build a boundless open world where every planet, every system, and every moment is yours to shape.”
For those who hunger for a gaming challenge that offers endless tasks and exploration, Cubic Odyssey seems poised to deliver. If outer space exploration is calling your name, keep an eye out for its launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X sometime later this year. Stay tuned for more details as we near its release—the universe of Cubic Odyssey awaits!
