A poster of the next Mass Effect to be presented on N7 Day

November 7th is an iconic hangout for fans of the franchise every year. Mass effect. The “N7 Day” actually refers to the elite corps to which Commander Shepard belongs, hero or heroine of the first three parts. And this day sometimes gives BioWare the opportunity to share new information about the future of the saga, even if that future takes time to materialize.

Indeed the secession is Mass Effect Andromeda was released five years after Shepard’s adventures ended. And it’s been almost a year since the studio gave us one Teaser of the next licensed work. The video was presented at the end of the Game Awards 2020. It featured the character of Liara T’soni picking up an N7 badge in a snowy expanse, a sign that this new episode could serve as a true sequel to the original trilogy. Today, BioWare has posted on Twitter

, a poster to reassure its community, with the slogan that closed last year’s trailer: “Mass effect To be continued “.

If this image seems tidy at first, the information it offers is more numerous than it seems. The most obvious is of course the spaceship in the lower part. Its tapered shape refers to the legendary Normandy or the more recent tempête. So it could well be the new interstellar cruiser that the protagonists of this episode will embark on..

We can also see, at a very small size, part of the crew walking outside the plane, right above it in the picture. Among the group of four people you can easily see the massive silhouette of a krogan on the left. It could be a return from Wrex or Grunt after the trilogy, or a new companion from the same people.

. The group seems to be moving towards the center of the poster. You can hardly make out what looks like a carcass of geth, those synthetic beings that were one of Shepard’s most formidable enemies.

Above all, however, a large impact crater occupies the center of the image. A not trivial relief, because a characteristic horizontal line crosses what turns out to be a shining eye. And a sophisticated play of colors and shadows adds a much more threatening set to that eye. In reality all of them Concept art

shows the shape of a geth staring at the viewer. The formidable machines would be the focus of the plot again.

Tangible information about what will happen next is still almost non-existent Mass effect. But the clues BioWare left on this poster still speak, just like that Teaser from last year. There is no known release window for this new work and we will have to wait for a bigger trailer now. The optimists among us are already thinking about the next Game Awards ceremony in just under a month …
