Archetype Entertainment has released the first gameplay trailer for its upcoming action RPG, Exodus. The roughly two-minute trailer offers a first look at combat, traversal, and exploration within the game, with a longer gameplay demonstration planned for release this summer.
The initial footage showcases speedy-paced gunplay, followed by a glimpse into how players will navigate the game’s world. The trailer also features a segment dedicated to exploring one of the game’s temples. Developers noted that the presented gameplay is still a work in progress and subject to further refinement.
The response from players has been largely positive, with many drawing comparisons to the Mass Effect series. The comparisons arrive as fans seek a similar experience to the popular franchise, particularly in light of the mixed reception to Mass Effect: Andromeda, which currently holds an average score of 71/100 on Metacritic based on 61 critic reviews. This anticipation highlights the enduring appeal of the space opera RPG genre and the demand for a compelling narrative-driven experience.
Mass Effect, on the scale we deserve.
Exodus is a Mass Effect-style RPG, so I really hope it fills the void left for me […].
The Mass Effect sequel we all wanted.
Fans have expressed optimism about the game’s potential, with many praising the unfinished build shown in the trailer. Some players have also offered constructive feedback, such as one comment noting a preference for a jetpack over the grappling hook currently featured in the gameplay.
Currently, Exodus does not have a firm release date, but is tentatively scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2027. The game is planned for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S.
