Entertainment confirmed that additional trailers and clips will be released throughout the year Wizards of the Coast has released the first gameplay footage for Exodus , showcasing its work-in-progress combat and traversal systems.

Exodus is scheduled to launch in 2027, but as promised, developer Archetype Entertainment, which was founded by former BioWare veterans, has offered a first look at gameplay and confirmed it will continue to release more sizzle reels and clips throughout the year. "Its what youve been asking for. Work-in-progress. UI and all. The first drop of many as we build toward an Extended Gameplay Reveal this summer," the studio said in a blog post .

The first part of the trailer highlighted third-person squad combat between the playable, customizable character Jun and his companions, Tom and Elise,
on the outskirts of Lyonesse. The trio works together using an assortment of weaponry that can be seen in a weapon wheel as they take down robotic
enemies.

"This is the kind of fight where positioning matters and relying on your companions can mean the difference between survival and being part of the wreckage," Archetype explained. "When Elise lets loose with her missile barrage, you feel it. Early on, nothing comes easy. You hold the line because your squad holds it with you."

Jun can also be seen using his railclaw, a grappling hook that lets them zip up to high locations and overcome obstacles, which Archetype said is "a core piece of a Travelers toolkit".

"Traversal in Exodus has its own rhythm," the developer said. "You can move quickly, but sometimes its worth pausing and taking in the scale of the world around you. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up

The final part of the footage shows a look at an ancient shrine on Khonsu,
but the trailer cuts off before Jun can explore the mysterious space.

Archetype has considered players' feedback and confirmed that it's looking into sharing a deeper look at more of the game's features, including role-playing game (RPG) systems, like skills, builds, gear, and progression, companion relationships, conversations, and romance, Jun's homeworld of
Lidon, and how choices impact the universe.
