EXODUS

EXODUS is a story-driven science fiction action RPG from Archetype Entertainment, set around 40,000 years in the future. You play Jun Aslan, a scavenger who becomes a Traveler and searches for powerful Celestial relics to save his home world Lidon from the so-called Rot.

The game combines third-person combat, exploration, companions and far-reaching decisions. Time dilation is especially important: while Jun experiences only days on interstellar journeys, weeks, years or even longer periods can pass on Lidon.

EXODUS releases worldwide on April 7, 2027. Archetype Entertainment and Wizards of the Coast confirmed the date in August 2026 with a dedicated release date trailer.

Confirmed are PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. On PC, EXODUS will be released via Steam and the Epic Games Store. A PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo version has not been announced at this time.

EXODUS plays as a third-person action RPG with cover, firearms, melee combat and Celestial technology. Jun's Recycler covers various weapon roles from mid to long range. His Gauntlet, meanwhile, combines combat and exploration: abilities can control enemies, clear obstacles or open new paths through the environment.

Companions fight actively alongside you and have their own abilities. In the TGS demo, for example, a Gauntlet ability could be combined with a rocket attack from a companion. Such synergies are shown clearly in the interface and are meant to encourage tactical use of your crew.

Jun's decisions move between the Paladin and Immortal alignments. They are not meant as a simple good-versus-evil system: Paladin stands more for human values and consideration for others, while Immortal stands more for the mindset of the Celestials and the pursuit of power or possibilities.

Alignment has a direct effect on progression and determines which abilities can be developed. Decisions can also change companions, trigger new missions, open other story sections and, in the long term, affect the state of Lidon.

Over the course of the game, Jun assembles a crew of humans and so-called Awakened. These are intelligent animals altered by bioengineering and cybernetics, who are fully integrated into society. Known companions include Phaedra, Elise, Tom, Salt and C.C. Orlev.

Companions bring their own abilities, personalities and relationships. Decisions change their attitude toward Jun, and their individual abilities can be used deliberately in combat. Archetype therefore describes the crew not just as narrative companionship but as a core part of combat and progression.

Interstellar travel changes the flow of time on the home world in EXODUS. While Jun Aslan is travelling for a few days, years can pass on Lidon. People age, relationships change and decisions only show their consequences on his return.

Lidon keeps developing even while Jun is away. His missions, the technologies he brings back and his choice of allies affect the future of the people there.

EXODUS offers German on-screen text and subtitles on PC. On Steam, full voice acting is so far listed for English only. Other supported text languages include French, Italian, Spanish and Japanese.

EXODUS is designed as a single-player RPG. Co-op or competitive multiplayer modes are not among the confirmed features.

On the Khonsu space station, Jun Aslan decides the future of the Kay, a community of intelligent, genetically modified frogs. Jun's half-brother Gideon Aslan has seized the station. To get important ship parts from Suliman Tenjin, Jun helps retake it.

Several decisions pit compassion against power: Jun can leave a wounded enemy a medipack, buy a guard's access card or take it by force. Finally, Suliman demands that the station's signal transmitters be reprogrammed so that the Kay obey his dynasty for generations. Instead, Jun can choose to protect them without this control.

The mission combines cover-based combat, zero gravity and Gauntlet abilities. Its Petrify function can overcome a plasma beam, while companion Elise and Suliman are drawn into the fighting.
