After three years of anticipation, BioWare has finally given fans a glimpse of the next Mass Effect game. Project director Mike Gamble teased the release with a cryptic tweet and a mysterious website. The site features a short clip showcasing what appears to be gameplay footage from the upcoming game.
The five-second clip, titled “N7 Day 2023 | EPSILON,” shows an unidentified character, possibly Liara T’Soni, walking down a hallway. The meaning behind “EPSILON” remains unknown, but it seems that this is just the beginning of the teasers.
Gamble’s tweet suggests that more information will be revealed soon. It is unclear whether this will happen in the coming weeks or months, but there is speculation that another announcement may be made at The Game Awards next month.
The teaser website also includes encrypted messages, such as “Andromeda distress signal detected.” This could be a reference to the previous installment in the series, Mass Effect Andromeda, which received mixed reviews from players and critics.
Released in 2017, Mass Effect Andromeda faced initial backlash due to its flawed facial animations. Despite efforts to address these issues post-launch, BioWare eventually shifted focus to other projects, including the new Dragon Age and the development of this new Mass Effect game.
In the first teaser released in 2020, it was revealed that Liara T’Soni would be returning as one of the characters from the original trilogy. The video showcased her exploring a snowy planet and discovering Commander Shepard’s N7 chestplate amidst the wreckage.
As for the future of the franchise, details about the untitled next Mass Effect game are still scarce. No release date or window has been announced yet, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
