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?

Archetype Entertainment announced that EXODUS, will launch worldwide on April 7, 2027, on  PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic Games Store.

In the new cinematic gameplay trailer, players are further introduced to Salt, an Awakened octopus mercenary and bounty hunter who joins Jun's journey as a companion. During the video, fans are given another glimpse into the game's combat and the rich universe that players will explore when EXODUS launches next year. 

Salt Spotlighted: Piloting a specialized combat mech, Salt is a master of long-range sniping, quick evasive maneuvers, and ink-like smokescreens that confuse and disorient enemies. She thrives where others can’t, and in the middle of a fight, no one quite has Jun’s back like she does. 

Jun and Salt, two strangers hardened by very different worlds, find themselves standing back-to-back against the same enemy, fighting not just to survive, but to protect the one thing worth going back to: home. 

Keep an Eye out for Emrys: Salt isn’t the only one fighting alongside Jun. Emrys, a member of the Deva, an enigmatic Celestial species defined by many consciousness, also joins the fight.  

Emrys plays support, launching Remnant Orbs that drain and weaken enemies while feeding the stolen power back into Jun as protection.  

Ahead of the reveal, Archetype has announced EXODUS Wishlist Milestones as a continuous thank you to everyone anticipating the game’s upcoming release. Having already surpassed 500,000 wishlists, the first milestone of rewards has already been achieved and grants players a Celestial Star Map Decoration for their in-game apartment and unlocks a new batch of concept art and the first available EXODUS music track, "Elegy for a Forgotten World". Fans will be able to continue unlocking both in-game and out-of-game rewards like outfit cosmetics, a Salt Companion Story Cinematic, and more music tracks as other upcoming milestones are reached.

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.
