As promised earlier, Archetype Entertainment, an Austin-based video game studio comprised of veteran AAA developers, including the legendary RPG creator James Ohlen, has released the new gameplay trailer for its new EXODUS game, called "EXODUS: The Traveler's Creed." Running at two minutes flat, the trailer shows what appears to be a Mass Effect-like third-person action RPG game, with some interesting twist to the gameplay.

In case you missed it, Archetype Entertainment was established back in 2019 as a division game developer and publisher Wizards of the Coast, and, in addition to James Ohlen, an ex-BioWare veteran, the studio also includes other RPG developers from Naughty Dog, 343 Industries, Electronic Arts, Blizzard, and other studios. In EXODUS, their new game, "humanity has fled a dying Earth, finding a new home in a hostile galaxy - here, we are the underdogs fighting for survival," putting the user in the role of "The Traveler", humanity's last hope. Set in an original sci-fi universe, the game is built around the impact of Time Dilation, where days in the different galaxy are decades back home, which will somehow impact the choices you make in the game and more, so it will be interesting to see how it is used in the game.



The trailer, which you can check out below, does not really impress us with graphics, but as long as the gameplay is good, it might be one of the big titles to be looking forward to. Unfortunately, Archetype Entertainment has yet to announce the release date and so far we only know it will be coming to PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. Hopefully, we'll hear and see more soon.
THE TRAVELER'S CREED
We sail on the edge of lightspeed, where time moves differently.
As each day goes by, years pass for those we leave behind.
Our service - our sacrifice - discovers worlds, seeds hope, breaks empires.
WE ARE THE TRAVELERS.

Yep. That's how its done. I'm watching this

And also... does not impress with graphics... but does impress with cinematic quality and overall voice/character acting. Its just not on the bad side of cheesy oneliner, not on the bad side of cast selection... It just wants to be its own thing clearly. There's a lot of little things in the trailer that tell me that, anyway.

Looks interesting/intriguing. The character models look a bit wonky tho. Especially when wearing helmets.
Still more interesting that whatever BioWare is cooking up with ME5.

I dont think i've read what engine Exodus uses. I assume UE5?
