The team at Sharkmob AB, who had already brought us Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt back in 2022, surprised us once again the following year during The Game Awards 2023, when they revealed EXOBORNE, leaving us eager for more. Now, the wait finally seems to be coming to an end, as in just a few days, we will have a test you can sign up for, a closed beta running from February 12 to 17. If you play for 60 minutes, fighting and looting, you can earn two invite keys for two friends and complete your squad.
EXOBORNE is a tactical open-world extraction shooter set in a world ravaged by extreme natural forces. You will need to customize your Exo-Rigs to be ready for unpredictable weather conditions and face both hostile factions and enemy players, not to mention that nature itself will be against you at all times. This will ramp up the intensity of every game session, reshaping the terrain, destroying it, and constantly throwing obstacles in your path. If you want a better idea of what we are talking about, take a look at the trailer below.
The World of EXOBORNE
Here, you will play as a Resurgent, an extraordinary survivor equipped with implants that allow you to use the Exo-Rigs mentioned earlier. Thanks to this technology, you will fight to survive and advance in a world full of warring factions, deadly elemental chaos, and other hostile Resurgents. You will explore a part of the southeastern United States, which has been devastated by the most extreme forces of nature. Every time you enter the world of EXOBORNE, the constantly evolving threats and high-risk missions will offer you unique adventures, such as experiencing a shootout in the middle of a tornado.
Since the Collapse, the world has been in ruins. Resources are scarce, and enemies lurk everywhere. You will need to explore the vast area of Colton County in search of valuable loot, which will be essential for survival in this hostile environment. After Rebirth deceived us by promising to save humanity from the impending cataclysm, only to betray us terribly, we joined Tar, the leader of the Resurgent rebellion. Some time later, the fury of nature began to strike the earth.
The Exo-Rigs, as mentioned earlier, will be the key to our survival. We will need to customize our gear and combine it with our unique abilities to adapt it to our own playstyle and the strategy we decide on with our team. As we progress, we will be able to expand our tactical tools with powerful modifications, allowing us to create new synergies with the forces of nature and use them to our advantage.
