Aesthetically this is one of the best teaser images I've seen from a game. Looks like it could be a movie poster, it has that feeling of exploration, mystery and the unknown.
I initially missed the geth head so thanks for pointing that out, I have to say that has to be intentional. If it is I'm a little concerned as with all things ME the endings to ME3 hang over all. Especially if the geth are involved. I really don't want them to end up like the human council from ME1 or killing Leliana in DAO. Choices that get disregarded because the writers wanted to go another direction.
My main Shepard blew the geth up twice over in ME3, I'd like that timeline to carry over into future games in the series.
Other than that I'm glad they gave us something to look at and think over. It's oddly reassuring in a way to know that they are still working in the ME universe. I feel ME is in a better place now than it was a few years ago.

Well done teaser. Wish we‘d get one every month for the „hidden“ Geth masked as a crater including the lens flare. I kind of like the ship design and size. I LOVE the (project) SFX nod! Excited for Mass Effect, even if it‘s years away.

I think the overall design is cool. For me, I'm just going to stick with what's available from the poster. Can't speculate beyond the fact that, there's a squad of people (+new ship), and geth are involved with some crater.
I'm honestly surprised they chose to drop something like this on us this relatively early in the games production. DA4 likely has an upwards of 2yrs before launch, and the ME Next team would likely need a sizable part of the DA4 team to begin production in earnest. So a 2025/2026 release isn't that far out of the question. Alot can change in 4-5 years

If that's Wrex in the picture, it seems BioWare will go with a popularity canon of their choosing, screw people's choices.
They've done that before with Leliana. Or hell, even within the trilogy with Anderson for the council and then it's Udina anyway because plot reasons.
And you know what? I'm totally fine with it. Because that's the smart thing to do. The vast majority of the fans are thrilled about a new Mass Effect with familiar faces, I think. A few people crying "but mah canon!" is irrelevant.
So if that's actually Wrex, this means it's set in the near future. For at least some of the game's timeline. What I've always wanted was a direct sequel the the reaper war and how it fucked up the galaxy with the relays destroyed. So if we're getting some kind of version of that, I'd be super happy.
That said, the ship gives me Andromeda vibes, the figure in the middle looks like they're wearing an AI helmet. And I'm still convinced it's going to be a galaxy merging crossover narrative.
So I'm not sold on Wrex really being in the game. But if he is, I don't care if he's dead in one of my playthroughs. BioWare has my blessing to go ahead with whatever constellation of events they want.

Looks like they updated the art on their site:
Again it focuses on the crew and the ship, like they did last year with the teaser.

The center of the crater is full of bodies, also there's some crazy stuff in there with some figures. Honestly the detail they put in this amazes me. I'll show you all when I'm done.

Unless you literally took it apart and remade it. Which there is no reason to do it. And don't say "well it could make sense in the game". Nobody would do that. There's no reason to take the ship apart and rebuild it. You can write it, but it's fucking stupid. You make a new ship.

Literally called Will Continue. I see Wrex, someone in an N7 armour in the back, someone in what looks like an Alliance Initiative uniform in the middle and one indistinct one in the front. Also a dead Geth in the distance. SFX is the reference to the original title of Mass Effect and the whatchamacallit of our ship, which isn't the Mudskipper, as I had informed you a long time ago. It's also not the Normandy, or the Tempest. So that's it. This baby's toast, it's dead. I see a krogan and three people or creatures that look like people. Like asari and other races that look like humans from afar. How did you get so much detail from that photo. It could easily have been Grunt or Drack or any other krogan we have seen or haven't yet.

It is not out of the realm of possibility that they changed their armor colors or it is just a new krogan character altogether. I just don't see how you got so much from a picture that shows no faces and to me seems very vague beyond someone landed a ship in a crater. I will agree that it looks like a dead geth in the crater though. I should also point out that mass effect five is at the very least three years away and they could change everything.

They also wouldn't introduce a new character this way. Because it's literally not an introduction. Unless it's all bullshit, all fake and none of it matters, in which case, Bioware is taking all of us for a ride. Would you like that explanation better?

After looking at the image more closely, the red color is Shepard in a mech suit. Vasir has a weapon in hand. Javik and Jacob Taylor are seen as well. Inside the ship is Udina watching Vega and Alenko playing cards along with space Hamster. If anyone is curious, space Hamster currently has the most winnings. Ashley and Tali taking shots. Miranda practicing a new cheer. Samantha kicking a** playing chess. Joker still crying like a baby that the robot was destroyed. Thane shadow boxing. Chakwas making sure she has enough medical supplies. Felicia Hannigan is walking around the ship. And the Honorable Mr. Rupert Gardner, the greatest chef in the universe, making his famous gumbo for when the Commander returns. Of course space Hamster returns.

While the new teaser image looks like a Geth head a different interpretation could be made that if you look the poster on it's side it looks like a Mass Relay and the... OMFG!!!!! The teaser image, the blue center is where the Mass Relay Element Zero would be located (that explains the defrosting on the downside, the rad isn't letting those sections cool off and the dash across the hole (horizontal dash) is both simulating the Geth head flaps as well the Mass Relays antennas, the spots of blue liquid outside the crater are both ways of saying it looks like the Geth secondary lights as well could be Eezo who fell outside the crater....

I also see Tali and Garrus kicking up some steam in the engine room again. Poor Adams The reason why Adams isn't seen is because he is with the SR2 helping it get the upgrades needed for the upcoming mission. The ship in the image is on loan to Shepard while the SR2 is being upgraded. Samantha would also be on the SR2, but the upgrades have nothing to do with comms. The reason why Udina is on the ship is because he wants to see first hand what Shepard finds so he canuse that as evidence of what Shepard says is true. He doesn't want a repeat of the last time. And how are Alenko and Williams alive together? Simple? If you notice the explosion on Virmire, there is one streak going away from the blast. It's A/K. They happen to use one of the dead geth barriers to protect from the blast. Of course it sent them flying across the sky. They got lucky by landing in the water suffering serious injuries. In that time, they were able to heal themselves, and by luck an explorer who happen to be in the area, rescued them.

Optimus Prime was literally killed, on screen, only to be revived two seasons of the cartoon later. Twice. And the second time he died, he literally exploded, taking out a planet along with him, if I recall. Been years since I saw the cartoon. Well, decades. You literally can bring anyone back. Someone followed Shepard after the beam and just as he chose Destroy, they dragged him out and back down on Earth, before the Citadel exploded. That's how the breath scene happens. It's not even unlikely.

Or what really happened is they travelled to Thedas, before being assigned to Eden prime, to the circle of magi to learn the shapeshifting spell. Just as Shepard was heading back to the SR1 to avoid the explosion, A/K shapeshifted into one of the Alliance soldiers, made their way back to the SR1 before the bomb went boom. During the time Shepard was dead, the collectors and the reaper war, they tried to find a way to stop the reapers. After the reapers were destroyed, they revealed what happened to them. One of the missions in ME4 will be for Shepard to go to Thedas with A/K to learn the shapeshifting spell. It could prove useful in future missions.
