EXODUS Quick Facts

When is the EXODUS release date?

EXODUS launches on April 7, 2027. Archetype Entertainment confirmed the date in its official release-date announcement, and the current Steam listing shows the same planned date.

An exact launch hour has not been announced. There is also no official preload schedule or final download size. Store countdowns may appear closer to release, but players should wait for a publisher or storefront update before treating a specific unlock time as final.

What platforms is EXODUS coming to?

EXODUS is confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The PC version will be sold through Steam and the Epic Games Store. The official EXODUS FAQ lists those platforms and storefronts.

No PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, or Mac version has been announced. The publisher has not confirmed Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, or another subscription launch.

How much will EXODUS cost?

Wizards of the Coast and Archetype Entertainment have not announced a US price. Preorders are not open, and the official FAQ says pricing will be shared when they begin.

Standard, Deluxe, and Collector’s Editions have not been detailed. No preorder bonuses have been announced either. Listings that offer an estimated price or describe unannounced edition contents should be treated as unofficial until the developer publishes the information.

What is the story of EXODUS?

EXODUS takes place about 40,000 years in the future, far from Earth. Humanity survives among powerful civilizations and dangerous Celestials, while remnants of ancient technology can determine whether a world thrives or disappears.

Jun Aslan begins as a salvager fighting for the future of a homeworld. After becoming a Traveler, Jun explores ancient ruins, abandoned alien ships, and forgotten tombs to recover Remnants and other technology. Those discoveries can help reshape human civilization, but every expedition also creates a cost at home.

The game’s central conflict is not only about defeating an immediate enemy. Official material emphasizes long-term consequences for Jun’s crew, missions, relationships, and civilization. The people who remain behind may age, change, or face new political realities while Jun travels between stars.

How does Time Dilation work in EXODUS?

Time Dilation means that interstellar travel does not pass at the same rate for Jun and the people left behind. A mission that feels relatively short to a Traveler can allow years or generations to pass on a homeworld.

That idea turns time into both a story device and a consequence system. Jun may return to find that a decision has grown into a tradition, conflict, or social change. Relationships can be altered by absence, and a solution chosen for one generation may create a different problem for the next.

Archetype has not published a numerical formula for how every trip advances time. Players should expect the consequences to be authored around missions and decisions rather than assume that the game simulates every year in real time.

What is EXODUS gameplay like?

EXODUS uses third-person action RPG combat and exploration. Players can engage enemies directly, use stealth to avoid or reposition around them, or find alternative solutions through conversation when the situation allows. Official footage shows firearms, alien abilities, squad support, and exploration across hostile environments.

Jun’s signature equipment includes two important tools:

• The Recycler: a weapon that can be upgraded and modified to suit different combat needs.
• The Gauntlet: a unique device that combines salvaged alien technology into new abilities.

The official EXODUS website describes encounters with hostile Celestials, rival human factions, ancient war machines, creatures, and other salvagers. It also presents combat, stealth, and negotiation as possible approaches. The developer has not claimed that every encounter supports all three solutions.

How do companions and the crew work?

Jun can recruit a crew that includes soldiers, mercenaries, scholars, specialists, humans, and Awakened animals. Companions bring their own abilities, histories, and relationships, and their presence can affect both combat and decisions.

Salt, an Awakened octopus who pilots a specialized combat mech, uses long-range attacks, evasive movement, and smokescreens. Emrys, a member of the Deva, supports Jun with Remnant Orbs that weaken enemies and provide protection. These examples show that companions can fill distinct battlefield roles rather than acting only as dialogue partners.

Official material also says Jun can fight beside companions, form relationships with them, save them, or lose them. Archetype has not released a complete roster or explained the exact rules for romance, loyalty, or permanent loss.

Is EXODUS multiplayer or co-op?

No. EXODUS is officially described as a single-player game. Crew members and companions are part of the solo experience, not online co-op partners. Crossplay is therefore not a confirmed launch feature.

Cross-save or cross-progression between PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Epic has not been announced. Players planning to switch platforms should wait for an official account and save-system explanation.

What are the EXODUS PC system requirements?

Steam currently lists all of the main minimum fields as TBD, including processor, memory, graphics, and storage. Recommended requirements have not been published. There is no verified PC performance target, so unofficial CPU or GPU recommendations are estimates rather than official guidance.

The final download size, SSD requirement, display options, and ultrawide support also remain unconfirmed.

What remains unconfirmed?

• US price and regional pricing
• Standard, Deluxe, or Collector’s Edition details
• Preorder timing and bonuses
• Exact launch hour and preload schedule
• Final download and installation size
• Minimum and recommended PC system requirements
• Console performance modes
• Cross-save or cross-progression support
