Three years after asserting {that a} new Mass Impact was in growth, BioWare dropped the primary actual video teaser for its new, still-untitled follow-up to Mass Impact: Andromeda. The 30-second clip in the end provides Mass Impact followers extra questions than solutions, but it surely does at the very least supply a primary have a look at who could also be returning for BioWare’s new sci-fi role-playing sport.
As a part of N7 Day, the annual celebration of all issues Mass Impact, BioWare launched the above teaser in a number of chunks, together with some “decoded” textual content messages that may present some clues about who’s in its teaser. In a single teaser web page titled “Epsilon” (the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet, by the best way!), we get a quote attributed to Liara T’Soni — “Though, they need to know by now to not underestimate human defiance!” — from final yr’s N7 Day. One other teaser web page references the Oculon (an early identify for the Citadel) and 2819, the yr when members of the Andromeda Initiative attain their vacation spot within the Andromeda galaxy.
The teasers point out that there’s some type of misery sign that originates from the Andromeda galaxy, and is probably being answered from someplace within the Milky Method. The yr of the transmission is listed as redacted.
BioWare’s Mike Gamble, mission director and govt producer on the brand new Mass Impact sport, has indicated that the franchise’s subsequent entry will probably be a sequel to each Mass Impact three and Mass Impact: Andromeda, and will function each galaxies. BioWare’s newest teaser seems to strengthen that, however leaves the thriller of who’s returning — and if Commander Shephard one way or the other may within the far future setting of this post-Andromeda sport — an open query.
The following Mass Impact was revealed in 2020. On the time, then-BioWare basic supervisor Casey Hudson stated {that a} “veteran workforce” of Mass Impact builders had been “onerous at work envisioning the following chapter of the Mass Impact universe.” The next yr, BioWare launched a single teaser picture for the sequel, hinting on the return of the Geth.
BioWare’s subsequent mission is Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, so Mass Impact followers might have much more ready to do.
