Archetype Entertainment announced that the sci-fi action RPG Exodus will launch on April 7, 2027 [1].
The reveal comes during Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany, where the developer showcased a new trailer. The project is highly anticipated because it is being developed by former BioWare staff and published by Wizards of the Coast.
The new footage introduces a companion character named Salt who joins the protagonist, Jun Aslan. The game is a single-player experience that takes place 40,000 years in the future [1].
While some early reports suggested a release within 2026 [3], multiple industry sources including IGN and Polygon have confirmed the April 7, 2027 date [1, 4]. The game is scheduled to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Archetype Entertainment has focused the latest marketing on the relationship between Aslan and Salt. The trailer emphasizes the scale of the futuristic setting, a key pillar of the game's narrative design.
Industry analysts note that the shift to a 2027 date allows the studio more time to polish the complex RPG systems. The developer has not commented on the discrepancy regarding the 2026 date mentioned in some reports [3].
