More recently, he was a co-founder of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/former-blizzard-president-unveils-new-company-dreamhaven\/\">Dreamhaven<\/a>, the developer and publisher headed up by former Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_c80LMt_Uxs\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But it&#8217;s the departure of Ohlen that strikes me as the most notable development here, at least from a gamer&#8217;s perspective.

But just two years later, Ohlen is out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this stage, James felt his work on the game was complete and that the polishing and tuning were in great hands with the team,&#8221; Hasbro vice president of corporate communications Abby Hodes told Bloomberg. Hodes said Ohlen had &#8220;asked to shift his creative focus&#8221; to tabletop games, and will remain with Hasbro as a creative consultant.<\/p>\n<p>Good for Ohlen if he feels like he&#8217;s done his bit, but there&#8217;s a lot of time left before Exodus actually ships: It&#8217;s currently targeting a release sometime in early 2027, more than a year from now. That&#8217;s a lot of time for &#8220;polishing and tuning,&#8221; and also what I would think is when you&#8217;d really want your studio chief to be on top of things.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve reached out to Archetype Entertainment and Wizards of the Coast for comment and will update if I receive a reply.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"6bb4e57f-b4f0-4c0c-a4d3-a7ff4258b8e5\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/less-than-a-week-after-dropping-a-big-new-trailer-at-the-game-awards-exodus-studio-head-james-ohlen-has-stepped-down-because-he-felt-his-work-on-the-game-was-complete.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"6bb4e57f-b4f0-4c0c-a4d3-a7ff4258b8e5\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/less-than-a-week-after-dropping-a-big-new-trailer-at-the-game-awards-exodus-studio-head-james-ohlen-has-stepped-down-because-he-felt-his-work-on-the-game-was-complete\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just one week after a new trailer for the upcoming Mass Effect-alike Exodus was unveiled at The Game Awards, a Bloomberg report says James Ohlen, the head of developer Archetype Entertainment, has stepped down.
