Archetype Unveils 20‑Minute EXODUS Gameplay Showing Core Systems

The reveal clarified the game’s companion focus, combat toolkit and that time‑dilation will be reserved for rare, high‑impact missions.

Overview

  • The studio published an extended 20‑minute gameplay reveal at the Future Games Show on June 6–7 that gave the most complete look yet at EXODUS’s story, companions, hubs and combat.
  • Players control Jun Aslan, selectable as male or female, and choose an initial Paladin or Immortal alignment that directly changes ability progression and how the world and characters respond.
  • Combat centers on the multi‑mode Recycler weapon and an upgradeable Celestial Gauntlet that grants named abilities such as Eruption, Lance, Precognition, Scramble Cloak and Sonic Lure.
  • The footage introduced a diverse companion roster including the Awakened octopus Salt and a Matthew McConaughey‑voiced character, and showed hub areas like Persepolis where player choices reshape the city over time.
  • Archetype says EXODUS is in its final stretch of development and confirmed an early‑2027 launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC with further showcases planned before release.
