EXO Concept Artwork

EXO was a team-based FPS in development by Sheffield’s Particle Systems and due to be published by Infogrames for the new Playstation 2 console. Development for the new platform hindered the project, and its ambition eventually became its executioner as the team struggled to match the game’s high fidelity and visuals with the performance of Sony’s hardware.

It was cancelled around the time that Particle Systems was acquired by Argonaut, became Argonaut Sheffield and switched development to licensed products on the behest of its new owner. The studio was officially closed down in October 2004.
