Why it matters

A new science-fiction RPG from Archetype, a studio built by the BioWare veterans behind Knights of the Old Republic, with time dilation written into the story.

About Exodus

Archetype Entertainment was founded by BioWare veterans, among them people who worked on Knights of the Old Republic, and Exodus is its first game: a science fiction action RPG organized around time dilation. You play a Traveler who leaves at relativistic speed to take technology from an enemy called the Celestials, and days spent away cost decades at home. Decisions therefore land twice, once when you make them and again when you come back to see what they did to the people you left behind. Matthew McConaughey voices a character named C. C. Orlev.

Wizards of the Coast publishes it on April 7, 2027, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC; the date was confirmed at gamescom 2026 after an earlier 2026 window. Time dilation is a familiar device in written science fiction and almost unused as a game mechanic, so the question is how literally it is implemented. Whether the world genuinely moves on between missions, or whether this is narrative framing, decides what kind of game Exodus turns out to be.
