Part of me really, really want Andromeda to get a direct sequel, at the same time, the idea of having a game set some decade later, so we have actually different governments for the various races and real towns would be very interesting to me. Or at least having more alien races and cultures than just the Angara. Still great news. A time jump would good. I don't really care for the characters, but the setting had potential but it was potential way down the line. The setting as is or a direct sequel is just really boring to me. There are no towns, cities, cultures to really interact with. My ideal a time jump and a new protagonist and crew.

Full image: It's called a "Mud Skipper" I don't know if this is a good call, but someone said that looks like Thane and Mordin in the picture. I gotta admit, the figure next to the Salarian looks incredibly close to Thane and even the Salarian itself looks like Mordin's model in the character selection screen. Or so they say.

Figure on the far right looks Salarian shaped. Let the speculation begin!

Could be but the armor on the one next to the salarian gives me turian armor vibes. The body does kind of look like thane though he doesn't make sense unless its a prequel, I guess it could just be his species or his son or something.

I keep seeing people agree that's Thane and Mordin. Some say the third figure is Shepard in armour, but it doesn't look like any armour I've seen.

Let me guess: it'll include an asari squad member that Bioware will force down your neck in order to romance her, like the past 3 games?
Oh boy, can't WAIT to go THROUGH THAT again. 😒

I agree with aglock. It looks to be Thanes son. If not, it could be a drell related to Thane or maybe one who knew Thane. The salarian wouldn't be Mordin or Paddok since they would go into hiding, if they survived ME3.
The other figure near the figure that looks to be drell looks human. Maybe Shepard? It also looks like some kind of pack on his/her back. Jetpack maybe? The figure furthest away could be A/K?

It really looks like an anagra in the middle, with their odd center of gravity.
What a nice Saturday this is turning out to be.
New Mass Effect to look forward to AND a handy dandy shiny package on the old one.
Delightful.

Think it's obvious those are a Salarian and a Drell, and probably an Angara.
I don't know how you can say they're related to anyone we know just because their silhouettes are similar. Remember that these characters were acting as the representatives of their species (in terms of how the player experiences them), so I think it's possible Bioware said "that's the Drell stance" or what have you.

I have blown up the picture and it looks like a Salarian and a Drell (or a human in a tailcoat). The shape isn't correct for a female Turian and there is no fringe, so it's not a Turian. The Salarian is not wearing Mordin's metal neck collar.
The heavyset gent in the middle looks like he has goggles on his forehead or Hellboy-type sawed off horns and a 3/4 sleeve tunic. His neck is rather short for a human, but his legs and arms are not the correct shape for a Krogan or Angara. The dude on the far left looks like a human in a fedora, Indiana Jones style. None of them look like Shepard or Ryder.

So pumped, a new game is OFFICIALLY in development, no matter if it's early !!!
Thus I'm sure the two Salarian/Drell characters who might well be stock footage/art from Mordin/Thane, are Mass Effect placeholders, rather than actual art from the game already. Zoom in on the yellow sun and see towards the bottom, you can see it was a quick mockup copy/pasting various sun/moons.
the ship as well as mud skipper in the name of the file, might be one of the broad strokes concept arts for the future NME (NEXT Mass Effect) however.

I agree with aglock. It looks to be Thanes son. If not, it could be a drell related to Thane or maybe one who knew Thane. It seems unlikely that we would get two tuxedo wearing Drell that aren't related, but even so, Kolyat isn't trained to Thane's skill by Hanar master assassins like he was. And in the six months since the events of ME2 that followed, I doubt Kolyat would have mastered Thane's training, which lasted most of his adolescent life, as was his story.
Edit: Provided Thane even survived the suicide mission to do so.
The salarian wouldn't be Mordin or Paddok since they would go into hiding, if they survived ME3. If what they say is true and it's Mordin's character select model, as it also looks to be Thane's, it may indeed be Thane and Mordin, but not really. Like, they reused their assets. The other figure near the figure that looks to be drell looks human. Maybe Shepard? So I keep reading, too. I don't know. The figure furthest away could be A/K? Another thing I read is that there wouldn't be a 4th party member, next to the lead and his two followers, unless BioWare changes the combat system to 3 squadmates, from two. It could be a local, like a quest giver, since it also seems to be standing further away from the group. And the wild theory of the day; it's ME2 related content. Like either the mudskipper will replace the planet scanning in the remaster (doubt it) or the new game is a ME2 side-quel (even more doubt it).

Bio being BIo, I predict new characters, new setting with something old to identify the game as a Mass Effect one.
Besides, I want new chars. Let the old heroes lie undisturbed. And, if Bio can pull it off, the story will be non-linear. And please.... get rid of that Land Rover. Anthem has shown that Bio can produce vehicles that can fly over terrain. A much better concept for exploration, imo.
The bad? Ealiest = 2026-27.... I may be wrong but concept phase and prototype testing usually takes about 3-4 years.

I hope it's MEA2. I'd like to wrap up that story. However I fear it will be a prequel or some sort of sequel in the Milky way, probably 50-100 years after Shepard. I really hope it's MEA2 as well. Yeaqh I think it needs to be MEA 2 if only to tie up the loose ends from Ryder. I hope it is anyway.

High Res version of the Mud Skipper Thanks for the hi res, clearly a drell, clearly no angara. Which isn;t to say its not in andromeda or whatever as this is all just placeholder art. They are no where near the point they are picking team members.
I really love the ship, even the name gives me hope they are looking in other directions than save the galaxy yet again.

The person on the far left seems to have hooks for hands? And what is that insignia on his back? The guy in the middle has ears (unless those are collar points), but the shape of the head/shoulders definitely doesn't look Krogan or Angara.

Michael Gamble @gamblemikeDreaming of the future.... I (want to) see an angara there. I don't really care much for the ALOT for console release they're doing (I'll get it anyway because I'm an imbecile), but I really want to think this is a sequel to ME:A we'll get to play sometime in 2026. Might still come sooner than cyberpunk. The one just underneath the sun looks lik ei tcould be an Angara. The on eon the right definitel ylooks like a Salarian. Not sure abou tthe other 2

I liked driving around in the nomad, setting wise it doesn't make much sense they have shuttles. Game play wise, being able to fly anywhere can be tricky to build around. So if they have another open world it may be difficult to put in and keep game play engaging. It is sort of like thermal clips, they really don't make any in world sense no matter how they try to sell it. But they are just more engaging for most players. That being said I enjoyed having levitate, and crazy jump(feather) spells in morrowind. But their open worlds are far more sandbox or at least were. In later games they were like what you want to sneak in the back door of the dungeon, shame on you that is unpossible.
Otherwise I agree.
