During a Q&A that took place on YouTube at the end of 2023, the devs answered a series of questions from eager fans, one of which was about potential Exodus endings.
According to Ohlen, the familiar format of multiple endings, like we’ve seen in ME, will be present inExodusas well. Theysaid, “Time dilation, and how it impacts the choices you make, is the core of the game.”
In spite of this Q&A, though, not much is known about the project, save its non-linear approach to space exploration and its impact on characters.
