The debut game from legendary RPG creator James Ohlen’s new studio is a next-generation, story-driven RPG that marries cinematic storytelling with deep emotional impact featuring broad player agency and modern AAA gameplay. The story is fueled by the consequences of player choices due to the impact of Time Dilation, and how they change the lives of those we love most. 

In Exodus, humanity, having fled a dying Earth, has found a new home in a hostile galaxy – here, we are the underdogs fighting for our survival. Players step into the role of The Traveler, humanity’s last hope. Your job is to journey to distant stars on the hunt to steal alien weapons and technology from the most powerful enemy in the universe: the Celestials. There is one catch, however — Time Dilation.

As Travelers on interstellar missions, days for you are decades back home. The sacrifices you make to protect your loved ones create unpredictable consequences that change your world -- reshaping the future for generations to come. Returning home, you confront the consequences of your choices. Returning home, you will face the consequences of their choices, and must determine: how much are they willing to sacrifice?

Wizards of the Coast and Archetype Entertainment released the above new Exodus trailer providing fans with a more in-depth look at Jun Aslan, a hero on an epic journey across the universe to save a world on the brink of collapse.

You are Jun Aslan. Once a lowly salvager, now humanity’s last hope against the Celestials.

Jun comes from humble beginnings, but carries the legacy of a revered Traveler dynasty. Hidden beneath his unassuming origins lies a genetic heritage that grants Jun extraordinary powers and abilities unlike any other human.

Players will shape Jun’s destiny through moral choices and conflicting agendas that echo across generations. Fans will determine who Jun ultimately becomes through their actions and choices, all while the fate of their home planet, and beyond, lies in the balance. 

Exodus offers freedom in gameplay style, allowing players to approach challenges through stealth or open combat. Both paths are designed to be equally rewarding, empowering players to tailor their experience. As the story unfolds, fans will unlock new weapons and abilities, form bonds with companions, and discover combat synergies that deepen both the gameplay and the storytelling.

Jun will not face this journey alone. Throughout Exodus, players will meet companions with unique motivations and secrets. These relationships are integral to the experience, bringing new lore, side stories, and quests that enrich the vast narrative universe.

The trailer also features another look at C.C. Orlev, an enigmatic figure whose presence seems to guide Jun at crucial moments. Though everyone has heard of Orlev, few know who he truly is—or what became of him. The role of Orlev is brought to life by Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey, marking his first-ever appearance in a video game.

“Exodus is a story about humanity’s resilience and the heroism that can emerge in our darkest hours,” said Chad Robertson, VP of Game Development at Archetype Entertainment. “Jun’s journey of discovery will shape entire worlds both now and for generations to come.”

“Exodus transports us through time and space to a future where technology is so advanced that humankind has reshaped itself to harness godlike powers” said John Hight, President of Wizards of the Coast. “Archetype is crafting an epic tale set in a faraway galaxy where your choices impact worlds.”  

Key Features:

• Experience the Emotional Impact of Time Dilation - Time Dilation escalates the emotional impact of your story-driven choices like never before. Traveling on interstellar missions at the edge of lightspeed, time moves differently — days for you can be years, decades or even centuries for those back home. The world you fight so hard to save moves on without you, changing and evolving while you are left behind. In your absence, friends and family will grow old and change, while you remain the same, forcing you to exist outside of time.
• Explore A Universe of Possibilities - As the Traveler, you navigate the stars on missions to steal alien weapons and technology from the most powerful beings in the universe and humanity’s greatest enemy, the Celestials. These remnants are used to fight a destructive force that threatens the entire galaxy, including your homeworld. Through exploration, you gain an understanding of your universe, the Celestials, and how you are connected to the fate of humanity.
• Lead A Diverse Cast of Companions - As humanity's savior you will lead a diverse set of companions in your fight for humanity, many of whom have their own quest and romance paths. Willing to brave unfathomable danger, and to stare into the abyss at your side, they are ready to join you in facing whatever arises. These are not just brave soldiers – they are genetically engineered savants, punk mech pilots, geniuses cursed with alien viruses and more.
• Own Your Journey – In Exodus, you have the agency to customize your experience, from your character to your progression, combat style and the companions you choose. With each mission you grow more powerful as you progress from a lowly salvager to humanity’s last hope. As you infiltrate dangerous alien strongholds, you’ll need to decide which combat tactics and strategies you’ll use to exploit your enemy’s weakness.
