It was only recently that I realised that a game shown to us some two months ago at the Game Awards could in fact be the next big RPG of our generation and more importantly, the next big science fiction RPG of our generation. Exodus is being made by Archetype Entertainment, a studio composed of industry veterans, with key people such as Jame Ohlen, Chad Robertson and Drew Karpyshyn, leading the project, all of whom hail from Bioware's Golden Age, with such storied titles as the original Baldur’s Gate games, Neverwinter Nights, Star Wars, Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect and Jade Empire, among others under their belts and what's more, they have been given complete freedom to make the game exactly the way they want to with no corporate interference. I think this is going to be better than Mass Effect. Sounds too good to be true? Check out the video as I offer proof that this is going to be really, really big.

This was flying under my radar until today. Here's a dump of videos that caught my attention:

Exodus: The Archimedes Engine
Explore EXODUS, a new sci-fi action-adventure RPG coming soon from Archetype Entertainment featured in this epic novel from legendary author Peter F. Hamilton.
Forty thousand years ago, humanity fled a dying Earth. Traveling in massive arkships, these brave pioneers spread out across the galaxy to find a new home. After traveling thousands of light-years, one fleet of arkships arrived at Centauri, a dense cluster of stars with a vast array of potentially habitable planets. The survivors of Earth signaled to the remaining arkships that humanity had finally found its new home among the stars.
Thousands of years later, the Centauri Cluster has flourished. The original settlers have evolved into advanced beings known as Celestials and divided themselves into powerful Dominions. One of the most influential is that of the Crown Celestials, an alliance of five great houses that controls vast areas of Centauri. As arkships continue to arrive, the remaining humans and their descendants must fight for survival against overwhelming odds or be forced into serving the Crown Dominion.
Among those yearning for a better life is Finn, for whom Earth is not a memory but merely a footnote from humanity’s ancient history. Born on one of the Crown Dominion worlds, Finn has known nothing but the repressive rule of the Celestials, though he dreams of the possibility of boundless space beyond his home.
When another arkship from Earth, previously thought lost, unexpectedly arrives, Finn sees his chance to embrace a greater destiny and become a Traveler—one of a group of brave heroes dedicated to ensuring humanity’s future by journeying into the vast unknown of distant space.

I'm interested but seems like they are talking about a 2027 release date. Too far out to get too excited.
