// SIGNAL LOCKED >> CHANNEL: OPEN
Greetings, Travelers! 🫡
We have a special community update for you this month. Whether you've been with us since the first signal, or you're just finding your way into the cluster, we're glad you made it. Your questions, your curiosity, and your feedback are part of what keeps us inspired.
This transmission has a few exciting new discoveries. The big one: your first look at conversation choices in EXODUS— the conversations that shape your journey as Jun Aslan and how your story unfolds. We’re also excited to announce a limited-time offer for those following the expanded universe: pre-order EXODUS: The Helium Sea by June 15th and get a signed bookplate by the author Peter F. Hamilton (while supplies last).
Finally, for those of you looking to bring the EXODUS universe to the tabletop, more copies of our TTRPG books are now available for pre-order.
If you haven’t already, add EXODUS to your Wishlist here.
Let’s dive in!
>> FIRST LOOK: CONVERSATION CHOICES IN EXODUS
Since March, we’ve been dropping work-in-progress gameplay. You’ve seen Jun fighting, exploring, and traversing through various locations in Centauri.
Today, we’re showing you something more personal: a quieter, in-the-moment conversation with Phaedra, one of your combat companions, while you’re out on a mission together.
Dialogue in EXODUS unfolds in different ways. There are high-stakes cinematic moments and pivotal story conversations. And then there are smaller, more intimate exchanges like this one where a companion starts to open up.
This is one of many moments between the action where you shape who Jun becomes for you. You’ll see dialogue play out and options branch in real time. You’ll watch how your words land and get a sense of how relationships develop when you’re both trying to figure it out. From salvager to humanity’s last hope? That transformation happens one conversation at a time. Here’s one of them.
>> WHAT YOU’RE SEEING: JUN AND PHAEDRA
As Jun Aslan, you’re deep in a corroding Celestial facility with Phaedra, hunting for Remnants. She’s been infected by a Celestial virus that left her blind.
But Phaedra’s not completely helpless. Her drone feeds her environmental data like volume, shapes, and mass. And strangely, the virus unlocked something unexpected: she can now interface with Celestial glyphs. It’s a growing power that neither of you fully understands yet.
Phaedra is opening up about what she's going through. How you respond to her vulnerability, her emerging abilities, and the trust she's placing in you—it all impacts where your relationship goes from here. Some responses acknowledge what she’s lost. Others focus on what she’s becoming.
You’re navigating this together and figuring it out as you go. Just like everything else out here.
>> SIGNAL ARCHIVE: GAMEPLAY REVEALS SO FAR
In case you missed any of the weekly gameplay drops since March, here’s what we’ve shared:
• Combat on Lyonesse – Squad coordination where positioning keeps you breathing
• Traversing a Space Tower – Navigating across hostile terrain using the railclaw
• Exploring an Ancient Shrine – A first glimpse inside a Celestial shrine
• Breaching Khonsu – Close-range combat through Khonsu's interior corridors
• Exploring a Distant Frozen World – Massive icy ruins that have stood for millennia
• Traversing the Molten Depths – Staying alive through fiery ancient ruins underground
• Stealth in Action – Infiltrating a heavily guarded Celestial chamber without getting spotted
• Persepolis Cityscape – Sprawling city on Lidon’s hot pole that Jun Aslan calls home
• …and more coming!
Catch up on everything here. We’re building toward a longer Extended Gameplay Reveal this summer, where we’ll show how combat, exploration, and conversations all come together to shape your journey.
