Exodus Sets April 7, 2027 Launch as Gamescom Trailer Unveils Octopus Companion Salt

3 articles · Updated · Eurogamer.net · Aug 25

April 7, 2027 is the release date for Exodus, revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live alongside a new trailer for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Salt, the trailer's standout companion, is an "awakened" octopus who pilots a mech suit, underscoring the game's focus on recruitable allies in a Mass Effect-like space opera.
Archetype Entertainment — a Wizards of the Coast studio staffed by former BioWare developers including Mass Effect writer Drew Karpyshyn — is building Exodus around romances, morality choices and special powers.
Time dilation remains its key twist: near-light-speed "exodus" missions make minutes pass for players while months or years can elapse for characters left behind, letting the game show long-term consequences quickly.
