Exodus, the debut of Archetype Entertainment, a studio under the Wizards of the Coast umbrella stacked with ex-BioWare talent, was first announced in 2023. At the 2025 Game Awards, Archetype gave the RPG an early 2027 release window in an action-packed trailer. Ahead of the announcement, Polygon caught up with Archetype leadership to discuss some of the very real scientific concepts underpinning the game: time dilation, genetic alteration, galactic expansion, and more. All suitably heady concepts. All tough to convey in a three-minute ad spot.
