Archetype has given us yet another look at what humanity’s future in space holds, with a new gameplay showcase for Exodus that’s even shorter than the last one.
We’re beginning to suspect that there are more of these on the way before Archetype comes out with a more elaborate gameplay showcase that gives us a proper look. The footage in this latest snippet showcases protagonist Jun Aslan and a couple of allies exploring a frozen planet with mysterious alien structures off in the distance, which they’re seemingly preparing to explore. Sadly, the footage cuts off well before they even begin their expedition or try to make their way to it.
We would have liked to see a bit of traversal, but it is what it is. We’re confident that all of these glimpses will be expanded upon in the Summer showcase, complete with commentary on how the game’s many systems work together. Even the side content promises to push us into engaging with it for the sake of its impact on the larger narrative.
Exodus is currently scheduled to release in 2027 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It has some strong competition in the form of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, but so far, both games look to scratch that Mass Effect itch.
