// INCOMING SIGNAL…
… ALL TRAVELERS: TUNE IN
Greetings, Travelers! 🫡
It’s been a long haul out here in the Centauri cluster. We’ve been traveling fast, and you know how that goes: a few weeks for us can turn into months for the people waiting at home. So it’s good to be back with a new transmission.
We’ve got a few things to share: an updated look at Jun, a glimpse at what’s ahead, and a chance to unlock more of the story behind Salt the Octopus, one of our most cunning crew members. However you found your way here, we’re glad you did. Thanks for traveling with us.
First up: Jun.
:: COMING INTO VIEW: AN UPDATED LOOK AT JUN
When you play Jun Aslan, you choose whether they are male or female, and options like hairstyles, hair color, facial hair, and tattoos let you add your own personal touch.
Today, we’re sharing what we’ve been working on behind the scenes, with your feedback in mind. Watch below to hear from Chad Robertson, General Manager of Archetype Entertainment, and see the updated look of male Jun.
<< ON THE RADAR: WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Is FemJun on your mind? Ours too! And we’re happy to say yes, she’s coming... soon™. We’ve got something special cooking for her reveal, and we think it’ll be worth the wait.
That’s not all we’ve got in the works. We’re also putting together a broader look at the different ways you can fight through the cluster. You’ve already seen quite a bit, whether it’s the Recycler switching modes on the fly, the Gauntlet at work, or taking a stealthier approach. And there’s more to see.
While you wait for both, catch up on what press and creators are saying after getting hands-on with the “Liberating the Kay” mission on Khonsu. If you missed their coverage, tune in to our YouTube channel.
>> SET YOUR COORDINATES: 1 MILLION WISHLISTS
Earlier this month, Salt took over our X account and Discord for World Octopus Day. You might have seen that she teased new footage from her Companion Story Cinematic. There’s more of her story to come once the next Wishlist Milestone is reached.
If you’re new to Wishlist Milestone rewards, here’s the idea: every wishlist adds to a shared total, and each time we hit a milestone together, everyone gets rewards.
You’ve already cleared the first one. At 500K+ wishlists, you unlocked an in-game Celestial Star Map apartment decoration, a batch of concept art, and our first score music track, “Elegy for a Forgotten World.”
The next stop is 1 million wishlists, and here’s what’s waiting there:
• Salt’s Companion Story Cinematic, a look at the past that made her who she is
• Jun Casual Outfit Bundle, for male and female Jun (in-game)
• Two radio music tracks giving you more EXODUS music for the road
If you haven’t yet, wishlist EXODUS. Every Traveler gets us closer to that next stop.
