Exodus, the upcoming action-adventure RPG from formerBioWareveterans, is now also being worked on by a Halo and Call of Duty support studio.
“As one of the world’s premiere independent studios, we’ve worked on a huge variety of great games, but nothing quite like this exciting new sci-fi IP, Exodus,” Certain Affinity’s CEO Max Hoberman writes in the same press release. “Our mission is to add value in development across the board and to complement their efforts in bringing this amazing storytelling experience to players around the world.”
“We are creating a new universe that we hope will be the beginning of a decades-long narrative-driven adventure for gamers,” Archetype founder James Ohlen adds. “I’ve known Max for a long time and was thrilled to partner with Certain Affinity on a project. With his support and the addition of his outstanding team, we’re excited to bring this new AAA Sci-fi universe to life.”
With so much RPG expertise on board, Exodus is definitely one to keep an eye on, especially if you’re a Mass Effect fan. Speaking of BioWare’s long-running series, shortly after Exodus' reveal,Mass Effect 5’s director gave props to Archetype’s upcoming game, sharing its announcement and adding: “Science fiction is amazing.”

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
