The New Mass Effect Teased For N7 Day With An Image Loaded With Hints

BioWare’s favorite RPG, Mass Effect continues to be celebrated on November 7, which is still BioWare’s gaming holiday. BioWare posted a blog this year to reflect on both the series’ success and the release of the Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

The blog also details new products fans can buy, sales on the games, and even new Mass Effect-themed Steam emotes. A giant infographic runs down the numbers on big choices Mass Effect Legendary Edition players went with, revealing 15% of people did not recruit Garrus, an option 85% of us can’t calibrate our brains or our hearts to leave that precious boy behind. However, there’s nary a mention about the future until the end of the post, which says, “We are, of course, hard at work on the next adventure in the Mass Effect universe.” After a trailer was shown at The Game Awards, we knew it.

This year’s N7 Day looked as if that was all. That was, until the below image. posted on TwitterYou can find this link:

Speculations are flying left and right, with thoughts and theories about every detail in the picture, from the type of ship parked at the lower half to the crew walking away from it (one looks Krogan, while the rest are humanoid, like most playable Mass Effect species). It looks like the Head of a Geth (synthetic beings that could be wiped out in Mass Effect 3), from the crater at the top. Although I don’t know much about the series, the similarities between the two are evident.

We’ll have to wait a little longer for confirmation on what exactly we’re looking at here, but until then, we’ll have fun watching ecstatic fans comb for any bits of information.

Was the teaser photo what do you see? Do the Geth really have a place in the ME universe now? Do the images hint at how BioWare might tie the original trilogy to Andromeda’s? Do you know of any other space race that can be selected from the starship fleet? We’d love to hear your guesses!
