## Key points

- Exodus redesigned protagonist Jun after fan feedback.
- Players can choose Jun’s gender and customise hair.
- BioWare’s closure and Mass Effect cancellation have raised interest in Exodus.

## Summary

Archetype Entertainment has revealed a redesigned version of Jun, the protagonist of its sci-fi role-playing game Exodus, after fans criticised the character’s original look. The change comes as interest in the game grows following EA’s announcement that BioWare is closing and its next Mass Effect game has been cancelled, leaving Exodus in view as a possible alternative for players seeking a similar experience.

Studio co-founder Chad Robertson said the redesign followed conversations with the community, and early reactions have been more favourable. Players will be able to choose Jun’s gender and customise features such as hair, though the character’s core face and body structure are fixed; the female version has not yet been shown. The article says Exodus is due in about six months, but the cancelled Mass Effect game’s leaked trailer has renewed attention on what fans will miss.
