Exoborne is a tactical, open-world extraction shooter set in a post-apocalyptic United States beset by extreme weather, powered by Unreal Engine 5 for PC & next-gen consoles.

Exoborne features open-world PvP, PvE elements, and extreme weather challenges in a devastated southeastern United States. It emphasizes verticality with a grapple hook and parachute, showcasing advanced suits called Exo-Rigs for personalized loadouts. Set in a near-future Earth, players, known as Reborn, face environmental threats and hostile factions while scavenging and crafting in Colton County. Exoborne’s striking visuals and dynamic weather effects, including tornadoes and lightning, promise an engaging gaming experience.

Project Details

Exoborne stands out with its absence of RPG mechanics, focusing on player skill and gear customization. The game offers solo and cooperative play, encouraging diverse strategies for facing challenges. As a Reborn, players scavenge, craft, and combat not only against the forces of nature but also against traitorous Reborn and other hostile factions in the open world of Colton County.

Developed by former members of Ubisoft’s The Division team using Unreal Engine 5, Exoborne promises to be a premium experience with a continuous support plan for post-launch content, story updates, and more. The game introduces a unique narrative structure, allowing players to experience their own storyline individually, while interactions with other players contribute to a deeper understanding of the game world.

Exoborne’s striking visuals and impressive weather effects, including tornadoes, lightning, and sandstorms, promise a dynamic and challenging gaming experience. With a focus on risk/reward gameplay, personal and group missions, and dynamic public events, Exoborne offers a fresh take on the extraction shooter genre. I am proud to have been part of the team that contributed to this exciting project during my tenure at Sharkmob.
