As part of their N7 Day celebrations, Bioware has released a new teaser trailer for their next Mass Effect game. Unfortunately, the trailer does not show us much. All it shows us is a female character in N7 clothing walking and drawing her weapon. The trailer drops no new information for the game, and it doesn’t tell us when to expect more information about Bioware’s next Mass Effect game.


EA and Bioware officially confirmed that they were working on a new Mass Effect game in late 2020. This teaser showcased a ship travelling to an unknown ice planet and an Asari picking up some N7 armour. This trailer also showcased very little about the game.

Coats make no sense in outer space. 0/10.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Shepard. I want Shepard. Don't want anything else. No Shepard no care.

 

[Nankatsu]

Shepard. I want Shepard. Don't want anything else. No Shepard no care.

Get ready to play as Shepard's daughter.

wont be female, as pronounce already banned.

 

[ulantan]

...coats pretty good though

 

[Th3BranMan92]

Putting the ASS in Mass Effect.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Did they bring in BIPOC consultants to get their stamp of approval for this game?

 

[EverydayBeast]

I know that area of the game



The fan base for mass effect was huge before the changes to andromeda hoping the return of mass effect benefits from cyberpunk’s open world.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Knee-jerk reaction to this: no.

This is stupid. Who dresses up like this in the military? And as an N7? Looks more like something that you'd see on a runway of a fashion show.

Well that says a lot about the confidence of their game, no?

 

[proandrad]

Fools know nothing of drip, I'm hyped.

They didnt oversell it. They got my attention.

I'll allow it.

 

[AJUMP23]

Poster looks dumb trailer has the right music. Nothing else of interest.

I wish they would let go of the N7 thing. That's specifically Earth military. This whole galaxy to explore and this person (Liara?) is wearing Earth Military Fashion Week clothes.

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

I don't know. I think the poster looks cool. As does the character. I never played Andromeda. I don't. Maybe now is the right time for me for some new Mass Effect. They got my attention.

 

[Hugare]

The design looks nothing like Mass Effect

Too "stylish"

I have zero hopes that Bioware will make a good game. The Bioware from the originals is long gone.

 

[KyoZz]

Based on the website, it seems like it will be a direct continuation of ME3:
"So what about galaxies? And the different endings!? What about our Asari scientist who replaced the Shadow Broker? And what happened to S... anyway, you get the idea.
Of course, we have the answers to all these questions, but you're going to have to wait to find out. And in the purest tradition of our #N7Day teasers, they won't be easy to find."

N7 Day 2023

Happy N7 Day to our wonderful community! Read up on all the ways we’re celebrating.

Full teaser:

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Lol what's that? That anorexic shape...

 

[Kilau]

Looks like Destiny Warlock crossover.

 

[LordOfChaos]

I really hope they can recreate the magic of the trilogy. We'll see.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

 

[Thanati]

Let’s hope it’s better than the abomination that was the 4th game.

 

[Aaron Olive]

But seriously just make it like the old games and we're cool!

 

[Zannegan]

So, we're Destiny now, only with extremely stiff walking animations.

And yet, for all my cynicism, I'm wait-and-see interested. Here's hoping they pull off a comeback. ME1 was amazing back in the day.

 

[Hero_Select]

I wish they would let go of the N7 thing. That's specifically Earth military. This whole galaxy to explore and this person (Liara?) is wearing Earth Military Fashion Week clothes.

Probably because the person wearing it is human.

It can't be Liara because the helmets Asari wear are designed with their hair tentacles in mind.

Idk.. The N7 logo is very sleek and iconic to Mass Effect so I like seeing it.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Are we going to get another game where all the important roles are pretty much female?
Andromeda, on Insane was trash, and super easy. Devoid of life on most planets and very repetitive. Tons of game breaking bugs at launch.
Shit writing, nonexistent Soundtrack; which was one of the original Trilogy's strong points.
It's going to be difficult for them to create a game that gets me to drop money on it, after the shit tier that was Andromeda.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Probably going to be a GAAS game set in ME world. Some kind of MP game.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Mass Effect 1&2 are a couple of my favorite games of all time. This game will be total trash. Guaranteed.

 

[Salmon Snake]

It seems they are still partying in Omega.

When I first played the first game, either in late 2007 or early 2008, I remember getting pretty excited when Shepard becomes a Spectre. It felt so much more meaningful than being an N7 soldier. It felt like the games universe was opening up to so much more possibility.

Then 2 and 3 just doubled-down on humanity and Earth politics. It was pretty disappointing for me.

I still contend that the Spectre symbol would be a better iconic logo for the series.

 

[Majormaxxx]

OK this looks like a chick. Good. Now make her lame and gay and we have something to work with.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Zero expectations from the current Bioware. Maybe AI will help them making better games and better writing

 

[semiconscious]

gotta admit: this was my response, as well...

 

[CGNoire]

All the characters are gonna look like regular ugly folk arent they?
I want my Mass Effect Universe full of Models thank you very much.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I know they had to do or show something, but it's a pointless and needless teaser - the first one was more than enough. I don't expect this game to be out until 2027 and even then BioWare have to prove themselves in a lot of areas after DAI, Anthem, Andromeda + early DA4 alpha footage just doesn't inspire any confidence or hope.

 

[March Climber]

This is stupid. Who dresses up like this in the military? And as an N7? Looks more like something that you'd see on a runway of a fashion show.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Expect more of this..

 

[Kindela]

The original trilogy was once in a lifetime thing, whatever they do now is going to be considerably worse. It might sell more, but no way in hell will they be as passionate and as ambitious as they were in 2005. Times have changed too much.

 

[LastBattle]

Expect more of this..

 

[Cyborg]

So you started developing the game in 2020 it is almost 2024 and you can't share more than this?

 

[balls of snow]

It needs a good hook and daring af.
On top of my head, have this new N7 scrub be on the investigation to find out what happened to Shepard and crew. Then when we find him/her midgame, do a reverse Raiden and let us play as Shep again with the scrub being part of the crew. Dont be afraid of turning fan fav into villains or antiheroes. Maybe Have ED be what Cortana failed to be.

 

[SCB3]

Probably going to be a GAAS game set in ME world. Some kind of MP game.

Hey the MP in 3 was fucking good so I'd be down for that

 

[Drizzlehell]

Thane's an assassin, it's part of his profession to be able to blend in as a civilian. Plus his costume is still far more practical and low-key than the Versace long coat over there.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

No matter what happens it'll be better than Starfield.

That's fair. They messed up the whole Spectre status thing in 2 I feel like where it's incredibly inconsequential to the story where as in 1 you could flaunt your status at NPCs
