Overview
- The studio confirmed Tuesday that Exodus will release on April 7, 2027, for PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
- A Gamescom Opening Night Live trailer highlighted companion Salt, an 'Awakened' octopus who pilots a combat mech as a long‑range sniper, and introduced Emrys, a support‑oriented Celestial ally.
- Exodus centers on time dilation: traveling near light speed makes days for the player equal years or decades for people back home, so choices can reshape societies and relationships across generations.
- The game is being developed by Archetype, a Wizards of the Coast studio staffed by veterans from BioWare, Naughty Dog and other AAA teams, and features Matthew McConaughey as the character C. C. Orlev.
- Archetype is ramping up promotion with a Game Informer cover story, wishlist milestone rewards and planned tie‑ins such as novels and a tabletop RPG, aiming to establish Exodus as a broader multimedia franchise before its April launch.
