Uh oh, where's Robert Ramsey when you need him? Oh right, he's working on a very high-profile review. Looks like you're stuck with this casual Mass Effect fan to talk you through the latest Mass Effect Andromeda teaser, which has popped up to celebrate the obnoxious N7 Day. BioWare previously said not to expect anything on its forthcoming PlayStation 4 sequel today, but while this doesn't include any meaningful footage, we're sure that it will stir up some excitement among rabid franchise aficionados.
In the clip, we see stock NASA footage set to a Jennifer Hale voiceover. In it, Commander Shepard – or FemShep, as she's more affectionately known – appears to be recording a final message, whereby she signs off at the end. We already know that the upcoming game will not continue the abovementioned protagonist's plot, so this seems like a final send-off for the character – it would certainly make sense given that 7th November is celebrated by hardcore fans.
We do get a good look at a new ship (or ark?) towards the end of the teaser, which may well factor into the forthcoming game. Could it be the one that you'll pilot in Andromeda – or will it feature in some other way? Maybe it's just there because it looks cool – this author doesn't have a clue. Either way, we do know that Mass Effect Andromeda is still on track for a Fall 2016 release, so perhaps it's time that BioWare stopped tweeting about it and started showing it.

Feel free to drop some insight in the comments, folks — Mass Effect's not my strong suit!
Still keeping fingers crossed that they announce a remaster today
Happy N7 Day! Jennifer Hale rules... I can't wait to get this game and "Hold The Line".
@adf86 yeah today would be the perfect day for it
Blue Point remaster of bust bioware! I think going in a new direction is a good thing. Start it fresh with new characters and allow for another trilogy to be made. More mass effect is never a bad thing.
The video totally has a prequel vibe to it. That I can get behind. Playing as a character who pilots the ship that first leaves out galaxy and meets new species and finds new planets for the first time. Could be VERY cool.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi That surprises me me1-3 are just fantastic. Possibly the best trilogy in video games after Mario bros 1-3, Ff7-9 and Halo 1-3. The series is crazy good.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi - If you ever do play them I highly recommend playing them in order. They are very story driven.
Ok, I know everyone complains about the remasters (so do I sometimes) but they really need to bring this trilogy to PS4.
If Payday 2 and Legend of Kay can get a remake.... I mean come on.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi you need to play through them all as your decisions (mass) effect the available missions and the characters your with all have unique dialogue. The game is absolutely brilliant. The gameplay is good for an rpg and the upgrades and different abilities fit within the universe and its extremely believable. The races are all different and some genuinely dislike each other seen. Your own team are the best ragtag bunch of kick ass aliens ever assembled. Its the only rpg other than shining force 2 and ff8 I have finished 3 times and listened to the story during the whole play through.
So this is the Trilogy Remaster teaser? Amazing video!
I agree there has never been a version with all the dlc and pre order stuff in it a remaster could fix that and talking as someone who finished the game on Xbox PC and PS3 I would be more than happy to 100% it again
I am going to be very interested in the female va this time I played femshep 90% of the time and they need someone as good as hale for the role
@SonyInfinity It's not a prequel according to BioWare - supposedly takes place hundreds of years after the trilogy with mankind leaving our own galaxy.
@Frank90 Nah this is a teaser for Andromeda. It just features female Shepard for some reason.
"We will say goodbye, and you will look back one last time" is this a hint for a remaster? Or just my hopes getting the better of me ^_^
Dragon Age x Mass Effect crossover confirmed. That's clearly Varric Tethras that you can see floating past the ship at 1:14.
@ShogunRok Well I stand corrected, doesn't matter to me either way, LOVE this series. This and NMS will be my most wanted near future games after Fallout drops. Been loving the gaming selection on the playstation this generation, just stellar.
@ShogunRok Oh dear, you don't think Cerberus or its databases survived in some form, do you? They, uh, 'rebuilt' Shepard from scraps, don't think it'd take too much to clone one or two thousand of them. (With various forms, genders, and abilities because people need feti-hobbies, I mean hobbies, dangit!)
@crystalorbie I reckon we'll definitely see little nods to the first three games. Trailer makes me wonder if Shepard actually plays a bigger role than we thought, though - kinda like a legend that the whole galaxy talks about.
Oh god, please let them announce a Remastered Trilogy on PS4, with ALL DLC included this time around.
wait. i cant watch the trailor. copyright from ea?
@johnny30 For some mad reason EA decided to take that one down. I've replaced it with a working one, though.
