Former developers for BioWare, who are now part of Archetype Entertainment, shared a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming AAA sci-fi RPG game, Exodus.
The latest trailer for the upcoming game is known as The Traveler's Creed and shows many story scenes and some of the locations that players will be able to visit. The footage also showed stunning environments and a lot of explosions, suggesting intense action.
Exodus Gets First Gameplay Trailer
The budget for Exodus seems to be quite generous as well, and it had a trailer that featured Hollywood Actor Matthew McConaughey. The recent trailer showed fans a massive bear that was seen wearing space armor.
The protagonist of the game looks like he is capable of using a grappling hook to traverse the map and move across the environment much more quickly. Many people who have seen the Exodus gameplay trailer compare it to Mass Effect.
This was expected because many of Archetype Entertainment's members are veterans from the latter game's studio, BioWare. The initial trailer for Exodus also suggests that fans of Shepard will most likely enjoy the upcoming title, according to Insider Gaming.

Despite the gameplay trailer, Archetype Entertainment has not yet provided a release date for Exodus. The synopsis for the game says that players can join the Travelers, who will sacrifice their lives to travel through the Centauri Universe.
They are said to be on a dangerous mission to save an isolated Awakened civilization from their enslavement by Celestials. Exodus will supposedly let players discover worlds, seed hope, and break empires.
Veteran Developers From BioWare
The new trailer also shows off Exodus' third-person perspective in intense action combat. The game was originally announced at The Game Awards 2023. Archetype Entertainment is led by BioWare veteran James Ohlen, Games Radar said.
Ohlen was the original Dungeon Master for the pen-and-paper campaign that later spawned the Baldur's Gate franchise. He also worked as a designer on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and game director on Star Wars: The Old Republic.
However, some fans of the Mass Effect franchise are skeptical of Exodus as the gameplay trailer seemingly showed more of an alternative universe for the former. One major question that a lot of people who watched the gameplay trailer have is why the protagonist was fighting a bear.
While the massive creature looked cool wearing space armor, the situation begged the question of what was actually happening at that moment. Some believe that the bear could later on become an ally of the player through the game's lore, according to PCGamer.
