Mass Effect-like sci-fi RPG Exodus from former BioWare devs drops new details, opens for wishlisting

Exodus developers rolled out a Q&A video revealing more details about the game on Oct. 15, 2025, alongside the launch of the title’s pages on the Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation and Xbox storefronts.

Published by Wizards of the Coast and set 40,000 years in the future, the Mass Effect-like action-adventure RPG from Archetype Entertainment, a studio formed by ex-BioWare devs, will allow players to assume control over Jun Aslan, the Traveler, leading humanity’s fight for survival against the Celestials.

One of the game’s main features is the Recycler, a weapon described as a “flux capacitor” that picks up scrap material and crafts resources on the go and also works like a base gun.

Regarding combat design, according to the developers, Exodus fully supports stealth gameplay, allowing players to ghost entire missions and take down enemies silently. It also allows bursting in loud and tanking poor NPCs, leaving the playstyle choice to the player.

So far, players will confront three types of enemies in the game: human factions, Celestial Constructs and creatures corrupted with The Rot, which makes foes more aggressive and dangerous.

According to Archetype Entertainment, Exodus is true to its Mass Effect-inspired roots, and its side quests won’t be just filler stories but will deepen the narrative, allowing players to strengthen bonds with companions, unlock valuable skill upgrades and immerse players more deeply in the game’s universe.

The upcoming title will be playable on Windows PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, while there is no information about a version for Nintendo Switch 2.
