Exodus reveals a redesigned Jun Aslan after Mass Effect trailer leak
Archetype Entertainment has shown the updated male Jun Aslan, giving Exodus players a clearer look at a redesign shaped by community feedback.
Archetype Entertainment has revealed an updated look for the male version of Jun Aslan, the player character in its upcoming space RPG Exodus. The studio says the redesign was shaped by player feedback, giving fans their first official look at the revised face and a reminder that customisation remains central to Jun’s identity.1
The update appeared in the official October 2026 community post, which also promises a closer look at what is ahead for the game. Players can choose whether Jun is male or female, then adjust hairstyles, hair colour, facial hair and tattoos. Archetype says the female version will be shown later.1
The timing has made the reveal particularly noticeable. Exodus has often been discussed as a spiritual successor to Mass Effect, thanks to its crew relationships, branching dialogue and galaxy-spanning story. That comparison has become louder after reports around the cancelled Mass Effect project, leaving Archetype’s game carrying a little more attention than a character-model update normally would.2
That does not make Jun’s redesign a replacement for BioWare’s series. Exodus has its own setting, its own approach to time dilation and its own cast, while the official material is still presenting the game as a long-form science-fiction adventure rather than a nostalgia exercise. The clearest takeaway is simpler: Archetype is listening to feedback on a character players will spend a great deal of time inhabiting.
The updated image shows the male Jun in a space suit alongside other members of the crew, with the revised facial structure clearly visible. It is a more useful reveal than a vague teaser because it demonstrates the change directly, while leaving the wider customisation system intact.
Our opinion
This is exactly the sort of small but meaningful update that keeps a pre-release RPG moving. Jun’s face is not the game, but a customisable protagonist has to feel like someone players want to inhabit. Showing the revision openly, explaining that feedback informed it and promising the female version next gives Exodus a stronger sense of conversation with its audience without pretending that one visual update answers every question about the game.
Exodus is scheduled to launch on April 7, 2027, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.1
