Exoborne Story and Development Details
- Rebirth – This is the name given to a European corporation that promises a “better tomorrow.” They promise the world.
- Rebirth was the original name of Exoborne, but it moved away from it after the team saw the potential legal battle over the name.
- Set in Colton County, USA.
- Location lets the team play around with pop culture and movies, with geography being ideal due to its diversity, natural and sociological.
- Sharkmob also feels comfortable with this location since they grew up on American pop culture.
- Since the weather is a big thing, you can expect oil rigs and boats and such in locations where they would not have been due to storms picking them up.
- “The world is not dying, humanity is.” is what the team says about the story.
- There’s a campaign, but Sharkmob is more interesting in the stories that players create. It’s all about your own journey.
- Exo-skeletons are known as Exo-rigs, with the wearers being nicknamed “Reborn,” which plays into the title.
- Exo-rigs will provide all kinds of playstyles, with the team wanting them to provide synergy between teammates.
- One example was a defensive build that allows players to play aggressively, attacking from the front while shielding teammates.
- Movement and traversal will be important parts of upgrading Exo-rigs. The grappling hook was one example.
