Archetype Entertainment, a studio founded by BioWare veterans, continues to reveal details about the ambitious Exodus RPG.

Here's What We Know

Based on the first clips, artwork and voiced details, it seems that the game looks a lot like Mass Effect, which made BioWare a world-famous gaming company.

The presented details of the Arkavir race, once again confirmed the similarities between Exodus and Mass Effect.

These powerful creatures are artificially created using advanced bioengineering technology and are similar in purpose to the Krogan - huge and extremely hardy anthropomorphic reptiles from the world of Mass Effect.

Arkavir are bred to work in the most dangerous and inaccessible places, located on planets that would kill a human in minutes. They can survive acid rain, deadly radiation, extreme temperatures and abnormal gravity.

Tall and powerful, their forms vary depending on their environment - their biochemistry, size and structure are shaped by the violent worlds that create them. But despite their differences, they cannot be confused with anything else.

Arkavir are essentially slaves and endure abuse.

Flashback

One of the main features of Exodus will be the uneven passage of time on different planets. Players can leave some place for just a few days, and on their return it will turn out that centuries have already passed there and the situation has fundamentally changed. In this respect the game reminds of the famous film Interstellar.

The game is centred around the Travelers, a group of people who explore space and encounter hostile alien life forms. Their task is to find and take from the aliens some sort of artefacts that will help humanity survive on strange planets. It is stated that each artefact will have an impact on Exodus gameplay as well.

When We Can Expect It

Exodus is expected to release in 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series and PC.
