Archetype Entertainment and Wizards of the Coast debuted a new story trailer for the sci-fi RPG Exodus at The Game Awards 2025, highlighting protagonist Jun Aslan's journey and Matthew McConaughey's voice acting role.
The Game Awards 2025 brought another major look at Exodus, the upcoming sci-fi role-playing game from Archetype Entertainment and Wizards of the Coast. First revealed at the 2023 awards show, the project has drawn intense interest from the community, largely because development is being led by BioWare veteran James Ohlen. For players longing for the grand narrative scope of classic space operas, this debut project is shaping up to be a spiritual successor to the Mass Effect series, complete with high-end visuals and heavy sci-fi atmosphere.
The newly revealed trailer, featured by Game Rant, dives deeper into the narrative and showcases protagonist Jun Aslan. Set forty thousand years in the future, the story follows humanity after fleeing a dying Earth to settle on the distant planet Lidon. When life support systems begin to fail and a destructive force known as the Rot threatens civilization, players step into the role of the Traveler. Aslan must lead humanity against the Celestials, who are genetically evolved descendants of humans, while hunting for alien technology called Celestial Remnants across the stars.
Star power is also driving a lot of community excitement around the title. Actor Matthew McConaughey is lending his voice and likeness to the mysterious character C.C. Orlev, marking his very first video game role. As players track this guide across the galaxy, the combination of veteran creative talent, high production values, and a sprawling universe gives sci-fi fans plenty to look forward to as we wait for an official release window.
