  "account": "Exodus, the upcoming space opera RPG from Archetype Entertainment, is generating comparisons to BioWare's Mass Effect due to its narrative director, Drew Karpyshyn. Karpyshyn, who previously worked on BioWare's biggest hits, confirmed that players' choices in Exodus will significantly impact the story, ending, and companion relationships. Just like in Mass Effect, decisions made throughout the game can lead to certain companions either staying by your side or leaving the party. Additionally, in-game events and optional content can influence companion relationships and survival throughout the story. Exodus is set to launch on April 7, 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.",
  "summary": "Exodus is an upcoming sci-fi RPG that will account for the decisions you make in its story, and its narrative director explains how it'll all be reflected in the end.",
