The other day, I was munching on some chips and scrolling through whatever – as you do. Then, bam, this trailer for some game called EXILEDGE jumps at me from ChinaJoy 2025. Sony’s pulling some strings again with their China Hero Project gig. Now, at first, I gotta say, it hit me like, “Oh, this might be Returnal with a budget cut or something.” You know how sometimes a game feels a tad… rigid? Yeah, that.
So picture this: snippets of gameplay. There’s this motorbike part — vroom, vroom around some vast, empty-looking spaces. Then things turn rogueish with fights against these baddies. The combat — think Returnal, but kinda like it’s wearing tight shoes. It’s all about dodging, I believe? Or maybe that’s just for added stiff aesthetics. Could work? Maybe?
Oh, and here’s a kicker. EXILEDGE comes from Enigmatrix Games, kinda like a brainstorming child of Sony’s China Hero Project. You’re playing as Alter. Yup, that’s the name, don’t ask me. Your job, apparently, is bashing these “Otherkin” dudes as you explore these big Talos towers — mysterious stuff, right?
Get this story backdrop (because, why not?): Fast forward to some post-apocalypse scene; the old world is toast. Now, everyone’s chillin’ in these massive structures, Talos towers sprouting from the ocean. It’s called the Edge. Totally futuristic. Enter Zora, some girl with mysterious vibes. She’s gotta help Alter — yes, our main guy — unravel the big “what the heck happened that day” disaster.
So, EXILEDGE: worth the hype? Meh, I can’t tell. I’m still thinking about those chips. What about you? Does it snag your interest, or you just passing by? Drop a comment or something.
