EXODUS launches on April 7, 2027 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. On PC it is confirmed for both Steam and the Epic Games Store. Archetype Entertainment announced the date at gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25, 2026, alongside a release date trailer. Before that the game carried a broader early 2027 window, set by the December 2025 trailer titled "The Rise of Jun Aslan", which also opened the promotional run into the launch year.
Platforms
Platform | Status |
|---|---|
PC (Windows) | Confirmed; Steam and Epic Games Store |
PlayStation 5 | Confirmed |
Xbox Series X|S | Confirmed |
EXODUS is a single-player game with full controller support. The store listing also flags DualSense and DualShock controller support specifically, so PlayStation pads are covered on PC as well as on console. No multiplayer modes have been announced.
Languages
The store listing shows nine supported languages. All nine are covered for interface and subtitles, but full audio is currently listed for English only:
English
French
Italian
German
Spanish (Spain)
Japanese
Korean
Portuguese (Brazil)
Simplified Chinese
Additional language support, and any expansion of the dubbed audio beyond English, is expected to be announced closer to launch.
Mature content
EXODUS is being prepared for a mature audience. The mature-content notice mentions frequent violence and gore, some nudity or sexual content, and strong language. Age ratings are now in progress rather than absent, but none of them is final: console storefront listings carry provisional or pending entries from most of the major boards, and any of these can still move before launch.
Board | Status as listed |
|---|---|
ESRB | Rating Pending, flagged as expected Mature |
PEGI | 18, provisional |
CERO | Rating Pending |
USK | Rating Pending |
GRB | 15, with violence, sexuality, substance and language descriptors |
DJCTQ | 18, with extreme violence, sexual content and drug descriptors |
IARC | 18, with extreme violence and strong language descriptors |
The studio's own channels describe the game as ESRB Rating Pending, which matches the storefront entries. Final certificates will replace these once each board completes its review, so treat the table above as a snapshot rather than the shipping rating.
System requirements
As of August 2026 system requirements were still listed as "TBD". Archetype Entertainment has not published minimum or recommended specifications as of this article's writing. This entry will be updated once official requirements are released.
Development status
Archetype Entertainment described EXODUS as being in the final stretch of development when it published the June 2026 extended gameplay reveal, and the publisher side has since put a firmer frame around what that means. In its second-quarter 2026 results, Hasbro told investors that EXODUS remains planned for 2027 and that 2026 should be its peak year of investment in digital games because EXODUS and its other in-house title are entering their finishing phases.
The same set of results carried a cancellation notice for several other digital projects that had been scheduled for 2028 and beyond, along with a $56 million non-cash write-down against them. EXODUS was not one of the cancelled projects; the publisher named it among the small group of owned titles it is concentrating investment behind. For a game this far from launch, an explicit exclusion from a cancellation round is a useful status signal in its own right, and it is the most recent word on the release window from anyone above the studio.
That disclosure did not narrow the window at the time, and for two more months the studio published no firmer date. The firm date arrived at gamescom Opening Night Live in August 2026. See Story and Setting for the campaign this schedule is building toward.

Archetype Entertainment has published the shape of what comes next: focused deep dives on companions and romance, on Persepolis as an RPG hub, on choices and consequences, on roleplaying mechanics, and on Time Dilation, rolling out across the months before launch. A fuller reveal of the female Jun was also promised after the June 2026 showcase. Between the June 2026 community update and early August 2026 the studio kept publishing short-form clips on its own channel, including looks at the Recycler, Persepolis, the Awakened, and individual companions, but no new long-form gameplay drop or monthly community update landed in that stretch.
Wishlist milestones
In August 2026 the studio tied a set of community rewards to cumulative wishlist counts across all storefronts. The first tier was already unlocked when the programme was announced, and the remaining two are still open.
Milestone | Threshold | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
One | 500,000 wishlists | Reached. An in-game display piece for the Traveler's apartment, an orchestral score track, and a batch of previously unreleased concept art. |
Two | 1,000,000 wishlists | A casual outfit bundle for both the male and female Jun, a companion story cinematic, and two radio music tracks. |
Three | 1,500,000 wishlists | A companion cosmetic bundle covering Elise, Phaedra, Suliman, Tom, and Salt, plus an ambient music track. |
The programme is also the first confirmation that Jun keeps a personal apartment in the shipped game: the milestone one reward is described as something to display there at launch. The score track released at the same tier is written to play inside a temple on the first world the Traveler reaches beyond home.
