New Exodus Trailer Shows More of Sci-Fi RPG Starring Matthew McConaughey

A new trailer for Exodus was shown at The Game Awards.

The sci-fi action RPG is published by Wizards of the Coast. It was first revealed at The Game Awards two years ago, when actor Matthew McConaughey appeared on stage to confirm his role in the game.

The new trailer shows more of the game’s action-adventure RPG gameplay and its main hero, Jun Aslan.

“Jun comes from humble beginnings, but carries the legacy of a revered Traveler dynasty,” the game’s description reads. “Hidden beneath his unassuming origins lies a genetic heritage that grants Jun extraordinary powers and abilities unlike any other human.”

Developer Archetype Entertainment says players will shape Jun’s story by making moral choices and managing “conflicting agendas that echo across generations”.

Players can choose stealth or open combat styles. The studio says “both paths are designed to be equally rewarding, empowering players to tailor their experience”.

Jun will also travel with companions. Building relationships with them will unlock new side stories and lore.

The trailer shows more of McConaughey’s character, C.C. Orlev, described as “an enigmatic figure whose presence seems to guide Jun at crucial moments”.

Exodus is the first game from Archetype Entertainment, an Austin-based studio founded in 2019 under Wizards of the Coast, made up of veteran developers from studios such as BioWare, Naughty Dog, 343 Industries and Blizzard.

“Exodus is a story about humanity’s resilience and the heroism that can emerge in our darkest hours,” Archetype VP of Game Development Chad Robinson said. “Jun’s journey of discovery will shape entire worlds both now and for generations to come.”

Wizards of the Coast president John Hight added: “Exodus transports us through time and space to a future where technology is so advanced that humankind has reshaped itself to harness godlike powers. Archetype is crafting an epic tale set in a faraway galaxy where your choices impact worlds.”

Exodus is planned to release in early 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
