Exogate Initiative is a management and base-building game developed by Xeno Bits, set for release on January 28, 2025. It immerses players in a future where instant travel to the universe is made possible through portals called Exogates. As the leader of an international initiative, players will develop underground research facilities, plan expeditions, and explore new worlds.
Players are tasked with managing a team of autonomous explorers, known as ‘Gaters,’ who can be humans or aliens with unique backgrounds. They will build facilities to accommodate their team’s emotional and physical needs while defending against hostile aliens. Team dynamics are crucial as relationships among members evolve, adding emotional depth to the gameplay.
Engagement with alien life is a key component, allowing players to negotiate, gather samples, and create new technologies to secure funding for their initiative. The game features 4X gameplay mechanics, where players can make life-and-death decisions that influence the outcomes of missions.
To ensure a smooth experience, players are advised to follow specific installation instructions, including disabling antivirus software and checking system requirements. The game promises a blend of strategic management, exploration, and interpersonal relationships in an expansive universe.
