they then start from scratch because their work was basically bullshitting around the water cooler for the last 3 years, and then make a game in 18 months.

They've been dragged by Schreier for doing that for the last three games, and for the last two it bit them in the ass hard. Hopefully they're changing.
Hopefully.

I'm gonna say they work on the game for a year or a year and a half. They might have talked to her even if they're far from the va. Their track record says otherwise, they "work" on it for 3 years, EA says dude is the game coming any time soon, they then start from scratch because their work was basically bullshitting around the water cooler for the last 3 years, and then make a game in 18 months. Lol it really does seem to be like that.

Best case: Anthem 2.0 gets cancelled, freeing up resources and accelerating development on the next Mass Effect (and the also announced Dragon Age) games. Just wanted to quote this bit.
BioWare Edmonton is no longer doing anything on Anthem, it's BioWare Austin that took over.
So whatever future is made for Anthem Next, it will not affect NME game development at all. The biggest issue for NME is the pandemic, as it slowed down all game development for everyone.

I don't know if it's only me i don't care which character we're playing as long it's good story and characters are interesting it's doesn't bothered me at all. Just happy we're getting new mass effect after Andromeda.

Alright. Why is it an easier choice for you? Shepard can be dead while Ryder is always alive comes to mind for starters. Assuming this exercise is only between these two and not a third protagonist. Yet they brought back Liara who could be dead. They'll do whatever they want and think will monetize best. If I were a bean counter forced to pick between the two ME protag based on their relative level of success in selling my product, it's an obvious choice. A retcon to dredge up Shep's corpse from inconvenient player choices is as simple as what they did with Leliana in their other series. Further, s/he's already died once. I wouldn't write it off. Mind you, I dont think it happens. I don't think Ryder returns as PC either. That game didn't do well and it's unlikely they risk giving it a second go when a clean slate would do at least as well.

They wouldn't have to retcon anything. Just don't support that world-state. Same as if Shepard didn't survive ME2

Wonder how many people are in the project.

Anyways, we'll know soon.

High EMS destroy leaves the setting basically as it were (minus the synthetic death ray, but you never actually saw any of the geth die, or even EDI). But even with the other two (I'm leaving out Refuse since it's a meme ending that doesn't even exist without DLC), it's not even that hard to contrive Shepard coming back when you have a space magic machine that can graft wetware and cybernetics onto every living thing in the galaxy with an FTL Aerosol. Say the machine copied his pattern and reconstituted it at some point like a ST teleporter. Or in control's case, Shep's consciousness is later uploaded into a Cylon esque synth body that is constructed and appears exactly like the old one (EDI is already a sort of precedent for this). If they're too afraid of canonization upsetting people it's really not even that hard to just Deus Ex it (though i'd prefer the former, I wouldn't cry about either), let you pick at the beginning what your Shepard did, put it in a codex or whatever and then ignore it as far as the story is concerned.

Bringing back Ryder as a protagonist would be foolishness. The name is pretty much synonymous with failure.
Bringing back Shepard would work as long as the endings were not retconned. Everyone has their favorite and not everyone chose Destroy. So in order to bring Shepard back it would have to be like his clone or something. Cerberus rebuild him from the scratch once. Who's to say same thing couldn't happen in again?
Personally I think I would still probably prefer a new player character for a new Mass Effect trilogy... someone who is not from the military but rather belongs to one of the mercenary gangs or something like that. Or multiple different origins like in that Cyperpunk game.

Something i noticed from the teaser:
Liara's clothes has a round symbol which kinda resembles a relay.
The purple nebula cloud before we see the ship seems to be also in the Andromeda galaxy, not 100% sure though. Also that creepy figure at the top of the nebula which forms a reaper looks to be shepard(?) It looks like the n7 uniform. The shape on the arm and chest resembles it. This might sound crazy but i enchanced some of it and noticed some shadowy figures. Two of them are salarian, it has some humans (one looked like Anderson), a drell and some others. I'm only sure about the salarian figures though. Maybe the voices are also the figures but i might be wrong on this. The teaser has so many secrets.

Alien PC's is all I want. If it's another "I'M ONLY HUMAN" nonsense then I'm dropping this game. I gave Andromeda a pass (which was a mistake) because I had an itch for more Mass Effect but no more.

I see a pair of tits on a woman figure with a porg for a head on the top picture and a belt like design, like two circles on each side, most likely, with a thick line in between them. If this is symbolic of Liara uniting the two galaxies, just come on, Bioware. I'm tired of this nearly messianic saviour that you're propping Liara up to be, if that is so. Liara's importance seems to grow exponentially greater, per game, even ones she isn't part of. You could have sprinkled this around more characters, instead of making Liara super OP.

It might be liara but it looks like shepard. It could be someone or something else too. Given that we are hundreds of years in the future, she's the only one alive from the crew along with grunt , so it makes sense. Her part in the story will be big i think but yeah, she might be in for many titles 😋 or maybe not. I would've preffer if it was someone else, but maybe for story purposes and to hype people they put her instead.

I got that with ME3, basically and I didn't like it that much, either. Her part in the story will be big i think but yeah, she might be in for many titles 😋 or maybe not. I would've preffer if it was someone else, but maybe for story purposes and to hype people they put her instead. She will be for all the titles in the future, unless Ali Hillis, heaven forbid, dies for whatever reason and they decide not to recast her. And the hype isn't for Liara being back, but for what people have tied to Liara, as insinuated by her presence. Which is why I keep saying that Bioware is in for a rude awakening.

It looks more like the asari flailing after being thrown out the airlock by Javik. This reminds me that they never canonized how long protheans live. Perhaps he is still alive. Maybe he even rules all the Primitives in the galaxy with an iron fist by this point, having eliminated all rivals via judicious application of airlock. I would buy that game.
