- EXD is finally available! - 16 April 2026
EXD is out today. Four years ago, EXD was just an ambitious idea born from a love for virtual reality. Today, that vision has become reality, and you can finally play it.Masterpieces like Half-Life: Alyx and Lone Echo taught me that VR is a new language, a different way to experience stories. With this belief, I brought together a small team of extraordinary artists who gave everything to this project.From concept to realityI still remember Tommaso’s first drawing: in a single stroke, he gave shape to Erath. Then came the sculptures, they were so alive and powerful that we decided to bring them directly into the game, preserving that handcrafted soul that I hope you will feel in every environment.A special thanks to the team: Marco Ghislanzoni: The genius who programmed EXD’s code. Dennis Cabella: For elevating both the technical and artistic sides. Max Rudy Magni: For giving voice and…
