New ‘Mass Effect’ Trailer Contains a Hidden Reference to ‘Andromeda’
It looks like Bioware won’t try to pretend that “Mass Effect: Andromeda” never happened as it moves the franchise forwardPhil Owen | December 10, 2020 @ 8:26 PM

“Mass Effect: Andromeda” was a big miss for publisher Electronic Arts and developer Bioware, and judging by the trailer shown at The Game Awards Thursday for a new, untitled “Mass Effect,” it looks like they’re returning to the Milky Way for the fifth game in the franchise rather than continuing where “Andromeda” left off.
While we still know basically nothing about where the next “Mass Effect” game will take us, the trailer makes it pretty clear by highlighting Liara, one of the main characters from the original three games that it’s instead going to pick up after the events of “Mass Effect 3” and stay in the Milky Way galaxy.
