Today, at Opening Night Live, we revealed the official EXODUS release date: April 7, 2027.
In our newest trailer, watch Jun Aslan, salvager turned Traveler, join forces with Salt, an Awakened octopus companion who’s as deadly as she is intelligent. A mercenary and bounty hunter, she hasn’t needed anyone… until now. Her will to survive matches Jun’s own, and together, they’ll have to fight to save the place they call home.
Different species, same fight. And countless ways this could go sideways.

EXODUS RELEASE DATE TRAILER HIGHLIGHTS
Here are a few highlights to look out for.
Salt Spotlight
Across the journey, Jun will build a crew of extraordinary companions, human and Awakened animals alike, each bringing their own skills, scars, and reasons for joining the fight. Salt, an Awakened octopus, is one of them.
Piloting a specialized combat mech, Salt is a master of long-range sniping, quick evasive maneuvers, and ink-like smokescreens that confuse and disorient enemies. She thrives where others can’t, and in the middle of a fight, no one quite has Jun’s back like she does.
Salt has survived this long by not needing anyone. That changes here. Watch as two strangers, hardened by very different worlds, find themselves standing back-to-back against the same enemy, fighting not just to survive, but to protect the one thing worth going back to: home.
Keep an Eye Out for Emrys
Salt isn’t the only one fighting alongside Jun. Emrys, a member of the Deva, an enigmatic Celestial species defined by plural consciousness, also joins the fight. Emrys plays support, launching Remnant Orbs that drain and weaken enemies while feeding the stolen power back into Jun as protection. For a being like them, it barely registers as effort at all.
Outside of battle, Emrys is often lost in thought, marked by their unusual stillness, detachment, and a deep familiarity with both human and Celestial affairs. They might be the most puzzling companion you never expected to recruit.
There’s More to Salt’s Story
The trailer opens and closes with brief cinematic moments, offering a glimpse into Salt’s past and what shaped her into the survivor she is today. It’s only a taste. See more of this cinematic when we hit the next Wishlist Milestone: 1 million wishlists!
