In a recent earnings call, Hasbro’s vice president of investor relations, Fred Wightman, shed light on the much-anticipated sci-fi RPG, Exodus. Despite the game’s prolonged silence, Wightman assured stakeholders that development is ongoing and that players can expect to hear more during The Game Awards next month. While Exodus is not nominated for any awards, it remains a focal point for the company, which aims to showcase its commitment to innovative digital play experiences.
Updates and Expectations
Wightman mentioned that the upcoming awards ceremony will feature new announcements from Hasbro, including updates on Exodus. This statement, while perhaps sounding like corporate jargon to some, signals a renewed focus on the game after a period of quiet following an initial marketing push. The early promotional efforts included weekly lore drops and a notable appearance in Amazon Prime’s animated series, Secret Level, but since then, the buzz has diminished.
For fans of spacefaring RPGs, Exodus stands out as a promising contender, especially for those still yearning for the next installment in the Mass Effect franchise. Although Wightman refrained from providing a specific release date, a question during the Q&A segment hinted at a potential timeline. One participant speculated that the game could be about a year away from release, a notion that Hasbro neither confirmed nor denied.
While the gaming community may be eager for a launch, the reality of development timelines suggests that Exodus may not hit the market as soon as some hope. With the recent delay of GTA 6 opening up prime release windows in the spring, there is speculation that Exodus could target a holiday release in 2026. Regardless of the timeline, anticipation continues to build around this enigmatic RPG, leaving many curious to learn more about its journey through the cosmos.
