What will Mass Effect 5 be called?
So far, Mass Effect 5 remains untitled by BioWare.

Blame Andromeda for messing up the lovely numerical naming convention they had going on.
Mass Effect 5 trailer - what does it mean?
She picks up a piece of N7 armour from the snow, and smiles.

What does it all mean?
Liara is an Asari, a species that can live for 1,000 years.
Of course, there are plenty of hidden details we can pick out from this poster.

We’ll go over the big clues below.
It’s very hard to pick out details, but many are theorising that this is a dead Geth.
There is one other, much better hidden corpse right on the edge of the crater.

We can’t see anything of this figure except that it’s roughly humanoid in shape.
There were also two clear allusions to Andromeda in the teaser trailer.
Thank you to all the agents who decoded the footage.

How, we don’t yet know.
Will you play as Shepard in Mass Effect 5?
It’s unlikely, but not impossible, that Shepard will be the protagonist of Mass Effect 5.

So it’s possible that Shepard survives.
Still, it seems far more likely that Mass Effect 5 will feature an entirely new playable character.
After all, Shepard’s whole story revolved around stopping the Reapers.

Now that the Reapers are gone, does it really make sense to continue Shepard’s tale?
But this is not confirmed.
But there are bound to be many more.

There is a wide variety of alien races in Mass Effect’s Milky Way.
There’s a lot of material to pull from here.
It seems as though the focus is very much on delivering a singleplayer experience.
This doesn’t mean there will be no multiplayer element.
This news was almost universally positively received by the Mass Effect community.
