Exodus Trailer Reveals Huge Story and Gameplay Elements

by

Exodus is shaping up to be a major new sci-fi RPG, and its developer, Archetype Entertainment, might just create the next Mass Effect before BioWare releases Mass Effect 5. What sets this action-adventure game apart is its innovative use of Time Dilation. Archetype Entertainment recently showcased the game in a trailer at The Game Awards, and players can look forward to experiencing it in early 2027.

In Exodus, you’re at the heart of a grand sci-fi story where your choices truly matter. You play as Jun, and the decisions you make will impact not only her journey, but the future of planets and even entire galaxies. The game focuses on surviving the destruction of Jun’s home world and potentially saving the galaxy, with your moral choices and alliances having lasting consequences that shape who Jun becomes.

Similar to games like Mass Effect, this game features a memorable group of companions. Each character has their own unique background, motivations, and secrets, and they’re key to how the story unfolds. Getting to know them better unlocks new stories, missions, and details about the game’s world, which Archetype Entertainment has created with a lot of depth. These relationships aren’t just extra things to do – they’re a core part of the main story and show how Jun’s connections impact his fate.

The game Exodus revolves around C.C. Orlev, a mysterious character played by Matthew McConaughey in his first video game voice acting role. His presence highlights the studio’s goal to combine compelling storytelling with intricate RPG gameplay, adding both emotional depth and a recognizable star to the story. The narrative will focus on the strength of the human spirit and the surprising ways heroism can appear.

Beyond the main story, the game offers extensive customization options. Players can personalize everything from Jun’s look to how they approach combat. You can choose to be stealthy, go in with force, and even treat your teammates as interchangeable tools for different situations. Central to this is Jun’s versatile weapon, which Archetype Entertainment describes as a “Swiss army knife” due to its adaptable features.

Every so often, a game comes along that truly changes things, and sometimes those games become sprawling series. Developers often draw inspiration from these classics when creating their own new stories and experiences. You’ll frequently hear the term “spiritual successor” used, which taps into the fondness people have for older, beloved games. When these new games are successful, they can become timeless favorites, standing alongside—and in the hearts of fans—the original games that inspired them.
