The story so far

What we know about Exodus

Exodus is a single-player, story-driven action RPG developed by Archetype Entertainment and published by Wizards of the Coast. The studio was founded by developers with a BioWare background, and lead writer Drew Karpyshyn is also a former BioWare writer. The game is set roughly 40,000 years in the future in the Centauri Cluster. Players take the role of Jun Aslan, a salvager who rises to become a Traveler and searches for the key to humanity's survival.

Time dilation is a central idea. Characters who travel at near-light speeds age differently from the people they leave behind, and choices can distance Jun from home worlds. The Steam page describes party-based RPG mechanics with a third-person action and shooter perspective, crew-building, branching decisions with lasting consequences and exploration of ancient ruins and alien vessels. Companions shown so far include Salt, an awakened octopus mercenary who pilots a combat mech, and Emrys, a support character. Matthew McConaughey is reported to appear in the game.

Exodus launches on 7 April 2027 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, on Steam and the Epic Games Store. The date was announced during gamescom Opening Night Live in August 2026 together with a new trailer focused on Salt. The Steam page lists ten languages, mature content warnings and system requirements still marked TBD. Wishlists have passed 500,000, which unlocked the first set of in-game cosmetic and music rewards.
