At The Game Awards 2023, Matthew McConaughey went on stage to announce Exodus, a new game from Archetype Entertainment and Wizards Of The Coast. However, not much was revealed about the game last month when it was unveiled.

Exodus is an epic new sci-fi action-adventure role-playing game (RPG) franchise. It will star Matthew McConaughey, and is being developed for the PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

In a new Q&A video from the developers, we have learnt new details about Exodus, including the following:

• The protagonist is fully voiced, not silent.
• A lot of work is being put into multiple different endings depending on your choices.
• Variety of companions is central to the experience.
• “Definitely not linear”, freedom to explore the way you want to.
• Matthew McConaughey’s character in-game serves as a sort of mentor role for the player, insight into decisions.
• Humans are the underdogs in the Centauri Cluster, “very bottom of the food chain”.
• Inspirations: Interstellar, Dune, past IPs the team has worked on (Baldur’s Gate, Star Wars, Dragon Age).
• Taking the science behind the game very seriously (time dilation, how it works, etc), working with sci-fi authors.
• Confirmed to take place in the Omega Centauri cluster, ‘ancient and very unusual’ kind of galaxy picked for a reason.
• RPGs with choice/consequence impacted development, as well as other IPs like the Horizon series, Tomb Raider, TLOU.
