The teaser trailer for the new Mass Effect game, developed by veterans of the original trilogy of the series, answered a few questions while raised many, many more.
One thing that has struck a lot of fans is that we see more galaxies in the opening of the trailer, which seems to suggest the new Mass Effect game is a sequel to both Mass Effect 3 and Andromeda. Now, BioWare is directly fueling speculation about it.
In response to fans on social media speculating that this would be a unique sequel to both games based on the trailer’s multi-galactic intro, project director Mike Gamble tweeted that the presence of two galaxies was indeed “intentional.”
With another tweet to follow, Gamble says, “Who knows. maybe not? but we show both for a reason.”

Gamble is certainly encouraging fans to keep speculating as much as possible, but it looks like we’ll have a long wait for answers. In a blog post, BioWare says that they have a long way ahead of them before they are ready to show you more, and given how much time has passed since the new Dragon Age made its debut, this hint is not to be taken lightly.
In the trailer in question, we can observe the appearance of Asari who, according to some, could be none other than Liara T’Soni, an important character of the first and third installments of the original trilogy. We can also notice the appearance of a piece of the N7 armor, an armor with which the protagonist of the series, Commander Shepard, is associated.
That being said, it will be interesting to see if this famous game actually returns to its roots given the love players have for it. In either case, to find out, it will probably take several more years.
