Exodus Reveals Extended Gameplay at The Game Awards, Sets Early 2027 Release

Archetype showcases a hard sci‑fi hook where near‑lightspeed travel ages the world between missions, turning player choices into generational consequences.

Overview

  • The new trailer clarifies the time‑dilation structure in which days away for protagonist Jun become years or decades for those left on Lidon, altering relationships and outcomes on return.
  • Combat centers on third‑person, cover‑based shooting enhanced by superhuman abilities, a shapeshifting Recycler weapon, and tools that can manipulate terrain.
  • Companion systems feature party selection, branching decisions, and romance options, with octopus pilot Salt confirmed as not romanceable.
  • Matthew McConaughey voices mentor figure C. C. Orlev as Jun seeks Celestial technology to confront the Rot threatening humanity’s new home.
  • Archetype confirmed an early 2027 launch window for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, marking a delay from a previously targeted 2026 release under publisher Wizards of the Coast.
