There is a lot of speculation surrounding whether the area we see Liara in is in fact in the Milky Way, given that she uncovers some N7 armor. The presence of Liara is also very interesting. Gamble confirmed you do in fact see Reapers in the trailer, so we're likely seeing the remnants of what was left behind after the final showdown with Shepard in Mass Effect 3. Later on, eagle-eyed fans also noticed you can spot the silhouette of a Reaper in the background as a mysterious figure (who turns out to be Liara) walks through a snowy landscape. BioWare project director Michael Gamble caused a lot of excitement when he said 'there's a lot to unpack' on Twitter, and the Mass Effect fan base erupted with interesting theories and thoughts about what the trailer may be hinting at.įirstly, you can hear the very recognizable horn of a Reaper ring out during the opening sequence. Running at just under two minutes, fans were quick to dig into every second of footage shown to try and piece together what it might mean for the future of the franchise. During The Game Awards 2020, BioWare dropped the very first teaser trailer for the next Mass Effect game… and holy Liara T'Soni was it quite the trailer.
