Get ready to embark on an interstellar odyssey unlike anything you’ve seen before! Archetype Entertainment just dropped a brand new trailer for their highly anticipated RPG, Exodus, during gamescom’s Opening Night Live, and it’s packed with stunning visuals, intriguing characters, and a release date: April 7, 2027. Prepare to set course for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Meet Salt: The Octopi Sniper
The trailer introduces us to some of the key players in this epic spacefaring adventure.
Among them is Salt, an “Awakened” – a hyper-intelligent animal capable of communicating with humans. She’s not just any companion; she’s a long-range sniper who can deploy ink smokescreens to provide crucial cover in combat. The trailer hints at the complex relationship between Salt and the main character, Jun, showcasing Salt’s protective instincts towards her own species and homeworld, even as she clashes with Jun.
Time Dilation and Player Choice: A Deep RPG Experience
Exodus promises a deep and engaging RPG experience. The game incorporates the fascinating concept of time dilation, which will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping the narrative. As you explore the vast expanse of space, you’ll face critical choices that will have lasting consequences on your journey. You’re not alone; you’ll command a crew, including the Traveler Jun, as humanity searches for a new home after fleeing Earth.
A BioWare Veteran Leads the Narrative
The narrative mastermind behind Exodus is none other than Drew Karpyshyn, a veteran narrative designer and writer with an impressive pedigree.
He served as senior writer on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and lead writer on Mass Effect, bringing his wealth of experience to this ambitious new project.
