Sci-Fi RPG Exodus Scheduled to Launch in April 2027

Archetype Entertainment has announced that its cinematic science-fiction role-playing game, Exodus, is scheduled to launch on April 7, 2027. The official release date for the project was confirmed during Gamescom Opening Night Live alongside a brand-new trailer highlighting the game's characters and universe.

Developed by former BioWare creators whose previous credits include Mass Effect, Baldur’s Gate, Dragon Age, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Exodus is co-developed by Certain Affinity and published by Wizards of the Coast. The debut game from Archetype Entertainment features actor Matthew McConaughey as the mysterious character C.C. Orlev.

In the game, players assume the role of Jun Aslan, a customisable salvager who becomes a Traveler venturing across the galaxy to seek powerful Celestial technology. The new trailer spotlights Jun's growing alliance with Salt, an intelligent, mercenary and bounty hunter octopus who operates a heavily armed mech suit. Companions recruited throughout the adventure will feature distinct personalities, abilities, relationships, and reactions to player decisions.

A defining narrative mechanic of the sci-fi adventure is time dilation, where interstellar journeys that feel brief to the protagonist can span years or decades for those left behind, causing entire societies to change between missions. Exodus is set to release on April 7, 2027, across PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. While pre-orders have not yet opened, the title is currently available to wishlist on all supported storefronts.
