We didn’t get too much solid info on what Exodus is, aside from an emotional trailer that quickly segued into some gameplay of action and shooting. It was introduced at The Game Awards 2023 by actor Matthew McConaughey, who will play a role in Exodus and did make mention of “alright, alright, alright.”

Per the trailer description, Exodus is a sci-fi action-adventure role-playing game. According to a , which goes into further detail, Exodus will focus on consequences of the player’s actions due to time dilation, and how that time disparity can change the lives of those you love. As a Traveler on interstellar journeys, days for you might mean even longer back home.

Exodus introduces an innovative new sci-fi world that forces players to face the consequences of their choices over time,” said studio head James Ohlen. “We introduce the player, as the Traveler, to an original sci-fi universe, a world created with an incredible level of detail in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi authors. The gameplay setting and story we created is built around the impact of Time Dilation, a concept I’ve been fascinated with since I was 12 years-old. We use Time Dilation as a catalyst impacting the choices you make in-game that sets in motion events affecting your relationships with your loved ones, and your entire civilization, for generations.”

Archetype Entertainment is a studio made up of BioWare veterans, under the auspices of Wizards of the Coast. Time will tell, as we don’t have a release date or anything as of yet. But given just the talent and premise we’ve seen here, I’m already interested.
