Exodus' Inspirations Include Horizon Zero Dawn, Dune, Alien, Interstellar, Star Wars, and Star Trek

Exodus has never looked like a game that's ashamed of where it came from. Archetype Entertainment's upcoming sci-fi RPG is being made by a team with deep roots in some of the genre's biggest games, and from the moment it was revealed, it has been fairly easy to draw comparisons between it and other major sci-fi stories. Mass Effect, in particular, is one franchise Exodus has never shied away from imitating, especially considering some of the team's devs also worked on BioWare's acclaimed sci-fi RPG trilogy in its heyday. However, its influences extend beyond just one IP and medium, reaching into various film and written media as well.
