BioWare’s new Mass Effect 5 teaser is short and short on answers

BioWare released the first video teaser of its next, yet-untitled, Mass Effect sequel three years after it announced that one was being developed. Mass Effect: Andromeda. The 30-second clip ultimately gives Mass Effect fans more questions than answers, but it does at least offer a first look at who may be returning for BioWare’s new sci-fi role-playing game.

As part of N7 Day, the annual celebration of all things Mass Effect, BioWare released the above teaser in multiple chunks, including some “decoded” text messages that might provide some clues about who’s in its teaser. In one teaser page titled “Epsilon” (the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet, by the way!), we get a quote attributed to Liara T’Soni — “Although, they should know by now not to underestimate human defiance!” — from last year’s N7 Day.

BioWare’s latest teaser appears to reinforce that, but leaves the mystery of who’s returning — and if Commander Shephard somehow could in the far future setting of this post-Andromeda game — an open question.

In 2020, the next Mass Effect will be revealed. At the time, then-BioWare general manager Casey Hudson said that a “veteran team” of Mass Effect developers were “hard at work envisioning the next chapter of the Mass Effect universe.” The following year, BioWare released a single teaser image for the sequel, hinting at the return of the Geth.
