WARLOCK empowers players to use magic to overcome a wide range of challenges. In exploration, every spell is a key unlocking new paths and possibilities in a beautiful yet unsettling world. When facing enemies, magic and melee combine for a combat experience that is both tactical and visceral.
“Working with our colleagues at Wizards of the Coast on a brand as rich as D&D has given the team the creative freedom and support to build a new ambitious open-world experience for players. We’re excited to finally announce WARLOCK and looking forward to sharing gameplay details in the future,” said Dominic Guay, General Manager of Invoke.
“Warlocks wield powerful, otherworldly magic, but it always comes at a cost," said John Hight, President of Wizards of the Coast. “Invoke has crafted a world that captures the dangerous wonder at the heart of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS where players can push the limits of Kaatri’s magic and discover what lies beyond.”
Additional details, including the gameplay debut, will be revealed in summer 2026, with a planned launch in 2027. WARLOCK reinforces Wizards of the Coast’s commitment to worldbuilding and broadens their roster for upcoming AAA games, both original IP and based on established worlds.

Players will shape Jun’s destiny through moral choices and conflicting agendas that echo across generations. Fans will determine who Jun ultimately becomes through their actions and choices, all while the fate of their home planet, and beyond, lies in the balance.
EXODUS offers freedom in gameplay style, allowing players to approach challenges through stealth or open combat. Both paths are designed to be equally rewarding, empowering players to tailor their experience. As the story unfolds, fans will unlock new weapons and abilities, form bonds with companions, and discover combat synergies that deepen both the gameplay and the storytelling.
Jun will not face this journey alone. Throughout EXODUS, players will meet companions with unique motivations and secrets. These relationships are integral to the experience, bringing new lore, side stories, and quests that enrich the vast narrative universe.
The trailer also features another look at C.C. Orlev, an enigmatic figure whose presence seems to guide Jun at crucial moments. Though everyone has heard of Orlev, few know who he truly is—or what became of him. The role of Orlev is brought to life by Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey, marking his first-ever appearance in a video game.
“EXODUS is a story about humanity’s resilience and the heroism that can emerge in our darkest hours,” said Chad Robertson, VP of Game Development at Archetype Entertainment. “Jun’s journey of discovery will shape entire worlds both now and for generations to come.”
“EXODUS transports us through time and space to a future where technology is so advanced that humankind has reshaped itself to harness godlike powers,” said John Hight, President of Wizards of the Coast. “Archetype is crafting an epic tale set in a faraway galaxy where your choices impact worlds.”
EXODUS will release in early 2027.
