Like some enticing interstellar object imminently entering our solar system sometime in the near future, Archetype Entertainment's highly anticipated "Exodus" sci-fi RPG adventure game will eventually land on Earth sometime in 2027 if all the cosmic tumblers align… and we sincerely hope they do!Chris King, Game Director for "Exodus," recently hosted an extended gameplay reveal during the Future Games Show Summer Showcase 2026, and we were treated to an exhilarating advance peek at some "Mass Effect"-style gunplay and epic side quest drama.The result was a jaw-dropping tour through the upcoming sci-fi RPG's storytelling, dialogue, combat tactics, weaponry, stealth modes, companions, and diverse denizens of this astonishingly rich universe.The visuals look razor sharp in this 19-minute preview where Jun and friends are first on a perilous salvage mission. Unsurprisingly, it's giving a lot of "Mass Effect" vibes, but now it's supercharged with even more electrifying imagery, detailed backgrounds, realistic environments, and a brilliant soundscape with distinctive weaponry discharge sounds that put you squarely in the midst of a brutal melee.In this extended reveal, the action and movement seem extremely fluid; Jun's deployable cover is a sweet touch, and his cat-like movements appear organic. Alongside that, the voice acting sounds superb, leveling up the immersion for the far-future adventure that the development team has created.In previous community updates we've seen some of genetically modified animals populating "Exodus" and here we spend much more time with Jun's Awakened Wolf called Houston, the cute Awakened Octopus named Salt, and the awesome Awakened Elephant. We also spend added time with C.C. Orlev, the mysterious Traveler character voiced by none other than Matthew McConaughey.
