Exodus Reveals Redesigned Protagonist, Confirms Extensive Customization and April 7 Release

Fan feedback prompted the new character look, raising Exodus’s profile after EA announced BioWare’s closure and the cancellation of the next Mass Effect.

Overview

  • Archetype Entertainment released a new trailer on Oct. 22–23 that shows a redesigned male Jun Aslan and new screenshots for the sci‑fi RPG Exodus.
  • Co‑founder Chad Robertson said the studio changed the original model in direct response to community conversations and criticism of the first reveal.
  • The developer confirmed players can choose Jun as male or female and will have extensive customization options such as hairstyles, hair color, facial hair and tattoos.
  • Archetype has not publicly shown the female Jun model yet, a gap that fans have highlighted with the game now about six months from its April 7, 2027 launch date.
  • Attention on Exodus has climbed because EA’s Oct. 21 announcement that BioWare is closing and the next Mass Effect was canceled has left fans looking for a new narrative sci‑fi RPG experience.
