A Cubic Journey in 2025

Some of us are simply drawn to games that allow us to discover new worlds, and many of these happen to be in the sci-fi realm. That makes sense, right? Sci-fi naturally gives developers ample room to create numerous intriguing settings for us to explore. But this genre walks a fine line. Nobody wants to spend forever soaring through an expansive, empty galaxy just because it boasts a large size. On the flip side, we don’t crave a universe jam-packed with endless fetch quests and filler content. When developers strike the right balance, though, it sets the stage for an epic adventure. Enter Cubic Odyssey, our focus today, which promises to take us on a fresh journey.

Crafted by the talented team at Atypical Games and published by Gaijin Entertainment, Cubic Odyssey kicks off with our crash landing on a remote planet. This is where the adventure really begins. Players will mine resources, refine materials, and build everything from essential tools and outposts to vehicles and, ultimately, the starships necessary for unrestricted galaxy exploration.

Cubic Odyssey offers a universe where every visible star represents a star system brimming with explorable planets. Each world hosts its unique ecosystem and rhythm, with day turning into night. These planets are home to vibrant cities bustling with NPCs, not to mention pirate bases and mysterious ruins waiting for explorers. The ultimate mission? To halt the spread of the Red Darkness, a galaxy-spanning plague that mutates creatures, devours worlds, and poses a threat to all life.

Seamless travel is a highlight of Cubic Odyssey. You’ll effortlessly transition between ground, air, and space, performing warp jumps across star systems and zipping between planets. On the ground, you’ll explore alien terrains on speeders and delve into hidden areas and ruins on foot. Versatility is key, and this game aims to offer just that.

For those who love teaming up, Cubic Odyssey delivers an exciting co-op mode. Join forces with friends to tackle gigantic foes, launch orbital assaults, or construct monumental structures together. There’s plenty of collaborative fun in store for players seeking shared adventures.

According to Andrei Lopata, CEO of the Bucharest-based Atypical Games, “We aim to create an endless open world where every planet, system, and moment is yours to shape.”

If you’re someone who thrives on having countless tasks to undertake, Cubic Odyssey seems like it’s tailor-made for you. Set your sights on the great beyond as this title is slated to land on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X consoles later this year. Stay tuned for more updates on what promises to be an intriguing adventure as the release date approaches.
