3 Upcoming Sci-Fi RPGs Better Than Waiting for a New Mass Effect
From Exodus to Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, these upcoming RPGs could be your next great Mass Effect replacement.
Three upcoming sci-fi RPGs promise to fill the void left by the cancellation of BioWare's next Mass Effect game. First, there's Exodus, a game set millennia after humans leave a dying Earth for the Centauri cluster, leading to a society of transhuman beings called Celestials. Players assume the role of Jun Aslan, a Traveler who must navigate a virus called the Rot while dealing with a brother who has seized control of the human stronghold planet Lidon.
Another option is The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a Mass Effect-style squad shooter developed by Owlcat Games. Players take on the role of a custom character, alongside an identical twin and a crew of misfits, exploring Ganymede's dockyards and battling paramilitary groups. Finally, there's Fate of the Old Republic, a single-player narrative-driven action RPG directed by Casey Hudson.
Players will take on a Force-sensitive hero in a galaxy on the brink of rebirth, where every decision made will influence the character's alignment between light and dark. While specific release dates are unknown, these three games offer exciting alternatives for fans waiting for the next Mass Effect.
