When GameSpot previewed Exodus in late August, the male version of protagonist Jun Aslan could be seen sporting a five-o&#8217;-clock shadow and very different bone structure. Now, he has a whole new face. In a new video uploaded to Archetype&#8217;s YouTube channel today, Archetype general manager Chad Robertson showed off male-Jun&#8217;s new look, which he explained is a result of player feedback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EXODUS | An Updated Look at Jun\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/InxJpKrYQAE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve seen your conversations and feedback over the last few months around our male Jun character model,&#8221; Robertson said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been listening, and we take that feedback seriously. We&#8217;ve continued to refine Jun as we&#8217;ve worked on him and the rest of the game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Archetype hasn&#8217;t yet revealed Jun&#8217;s female character model, but the devs say her reveal is on the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Is FemJun on your mind?&#8221; a new post on the official Exodus website asks. &#8220;Ours too! And we\u2019re happy to say yes, she\u2019s coming&#8230; soon\u2122. We\u2019ve got something special cooking for her reveal, and we think it\u2019ll be worth the wait.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exodus launches on April 7, 2027 and is available to wishlist now on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/after-the-bioware-shutdown-mass-effect-spiritual-successor-exodus-gets-a-new-look\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><br \/>\n<center><script>\n  atOptions = {\n    'key' : 'ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540',\n    'format' : 'iframe',\n    'height' : 90,\n    'width' : 728,\n    'params' : {}\n  };\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highrevenueformat.com\/ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540\/invoke.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the wake of the news that EA has closed down BioWare and ended development on Mass Effect 5, Archetype Entertainment\u2014co-founded by former BioWare devs&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":95027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[15697,8143,13053,291,17064,10771,10772],"class_list":["post-95025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-bioware","tag-effect","tag-exodus","tag-mass","tag-shutdown","tag-spiritual","tag-successor","wpcat-32-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=95025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95025\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/95027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=95025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=95025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=95025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
