Archetype Entertainment has provided details about an alien species that players will encounter in their upcoming sci-fi game, Exodus. This species is called Arkavir and was described in a blog post on the studio’s official website.
In the fictional universe, the Arkavir were specifically created by the Celestials to efficiently manage the Centauri Cluster and withstand harsh and potentially dangerous conditions.
Biongineered Changelings, the Arkavir can survive in environments that would prove hostile to other species, and are able to withstand things like flesh-melting acid rain, intense heat, and unfathomable cold. since they’re Changelings, their physical form can also be altered to make them more suited to specific tasks.
“To most, the Arkavir remain a mystery,” wrote the studio. “Are they to be feared? Pitied? Few Travelers have seen them up close, and fewer still without the buffer of heavy protective gear. Towering and powerful, their forms vary with their environment – biochemistry, size, and structure all molded by the brutal worlds that shape them. But despite their differences, there’s no mistaking them for anything else.”
Going by the description of the Arkavir, the species will likely be an antagonist force that players will have to take on. The studio describes the Arkavir as being created especially to outlast humans, while also talking about the spirit of the Travelers that “fight to outlast what was created to outlast us.”
In a Q&A earlier this year, creative director James Ohlen and executive producer Chad Robertson spoke about Exodus, revealing that the nature of the game’s narrative will mean that players will have to deal with long-term consequences for their relationships.
One of the examples of this provided by Ohlen was the player not meeting characters for several decades, and how meeting them again after that will have changed them quite a bit.
He clarified that not everyone needs to embark on a journey like Exodus with you. Leaving some people behind could mean returning years, even decades later, and this could significantly affect your relationships with those who have grown older in the meantime.
Robertson discussed the main adversaries in Exodus, namely, the Mara Yama. In his opinion, the Mara Yama will be a mysterious and unsettling presence throughout the game. The choice to make them eerie was made by the studio, as they aimed to create the game’s primary enemies as an evil civilization that was also bizarre and unnerving.
Exodus was originally unveiled back in 2023. The game, under development for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, will have its narrative handled by sci-fi writer Drew Karpysyhn. Archetype Entertainment’s parent company Hasbro also recently revealed that Exodus will be released some time in 2026.
For more details about what kind of gameplay you can expect from Exodus, check out the gameplay trailer that was released back in December. Also check out the creepiness of the Mara-Yama in a cinematic trailer from back in October.
