Exodus Takes Center Stage

The PC Gaming Show will feature extended gameplay highlights from Exodus, the sci-fi RPG being developed by Archetype Entertainment. The studio is staffed with veterans from BioWare and Naughty Dog, and the game has been drawing comparisons to Mass Effect since its announcement.

The primary extended gameplay reveal for Exodus will actually debut on June 6 during the Future Games Show Summer Showcase at 12 PM PT. The PC Gaming Show on June 7 will then feature highlights from that reveal.

“We are building something that focuses on the weight of choices and the unique mechanic of Time Dilation in a way that hasn't been done in the genre before.”

— James Ohlen, Executive Creative Director at Archetype Entertainment

The Time Dilation mechanic has been a major talking point in gaming communities. Reddit discussions on r/Games and r/pcgaming show cautious optimism about how the system might affect narrative choices and gameplay pacing. Exodus is currently targeting a 2027 release window.

How to Prepare

The PC Gaming Show has a dedicated Steam page where confirmed games are being updated as announcements roll out. Adding the page to your Steam library will give you notifications when new titles are added and make wishlisting straightforward.

Given the 50+ game lineup and 20+ world premieres, this year's show is one of the larger PC-focused showcases during Summer Game Fest. Clear some wishlist space and maybe some hard drive room for the demos that typically follow these reveals.
