A new Mass Effect-like game is coming in 2027 called Exodus, and it just unveiled an Octopus companion. Unique sci-fi title Exodus brings together veteran developers from BioWare and will feature a new world in the far future after humanity has abandoned Earth in favor of the stars.
Gamers have been left waiting a long time for movement on a new Mass Effect game, with the last full-fledged new game arriving in 2017 with Mass Effect: Andromeda's release. A fifth main entry was teased way back in 2020 as being in development, but not much has been said or shown over the last several years, leaving fans worried. While the fate of the Mass Effect franchise in the wake of EA's acquisition remains to be seen, Exodus may help to scratch the itch for those who are ready for more sci-fi space adventures.
With reports that Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet intends to join the list of 2027 releases, Mass Effect fans should be open to some alternatives.
At Gamescom 2026, gamers got another look at Exodus via a trailer , which also highlighted a companion players will have in the game. That particular companion is Salt, a sentient octopus who can pilot a mech suit to accompany the player when they are fighting on the field. Unlike some takes on aquatic life evolving to become more humanoid, like Splatoon 's Inklings and Octolings , Salt looks like a normal octopus, and appears to dwell in an aquarium tank when she's not in battle.
