NME is still in pre-production and that's really the only new update we got from this year's N7 blog. BioWare could post more later, like last year we got Geth crater wallpaper a few hours after the blog was posted( which was also light on any new info).

The good old thread's back in business. Am I ever glad to see it. Feels like I'm back in the days where I eagerly awaited ME3.

The name of the download file for the video is: SA_Intercept_SatheriumSystem_Dock314.mov.crdownload
Systems Alliance Intercept from the Satherium System Dock 314.
Only thing that comes up for Satherium when you Google it is that it is an extinct genus of otters that lived in North America during the Pliocene and Pleistocene
I also feel like the audio in the video has to have some secret with it. I put the file into Movie Maker and played it at different speeds. The cracking sounds more like radio static at the slower speeds but that is all I got from it. Would have no idea how one would analyze audio files further though.

First of all, countless thank you's for all the years keeping the news coming.
Seriously your Mass Effect News twitter account and the BSN twitter thread here are my main source for Mass Effect news, along with Mass Effect Reddit.
You are obviously free to go about your business as you please, but I ask you to reconsider the chosen service in the future.
Maybe ask some other folks in the community too (modders, long time fans, maybe even on the multiple platforms and services)
the Instagram platform IMO isn't a good match for what you share and provide - mostly text/quotes and every now and then an image or clip.
Full of Ads/Reels and terrible algorithms and hate. It's run quite frankly by one of the worst companies on this planet and good luck finding anything after a while.
Mastodon is the most similar service to Twitter - without ads, without algorithms, chronologically listed and it has the additional benefit of working on mobile apps (iOS, Android), as well as desktops (Windows, MacOS, Linux) and quite frankly any device with a web-browser, including an ancient awesome thing called RSS feeds from the good old days of the internet before platform lock-in.
www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/ works also on all platforms, can be completely ad-free if you pay or use a special app (Apollo on iOS for example) and also has a good way of finding old posts (up votes, bookmarks and all that)

*snipping to reduce wall of text on thread's page*
We are happy to hear you liked our work. It's what kept us to keep on doing this work despite our busy lives, well that and our love for the Mass Effect.
While we did pick Instagram, it was more of best of bad options for us. Instagram only partially provides the niche Twitter provides. As for your suggestion, we did looked into Mastodon and we have some issues with site functionality, specifically it is impossible to search for particular word or phrase and that appears to be by design. We would reconsider joining if BioWare creates account there as well, it's why we bothered with Instagram.
We are toying with idea to get on YouTube, but it's too early to go Mass Effect specific and we don't know can we do something for Dragon Age in mean time. Although we are big fans, we don't have the same passion for DA, plus we need to do lot of catching up for pre-production stuff for DAD. Plus to find the time to write a script for video and then find someone to voice it, since all of us running the account are Europeans. While we do speak English fluently, we do have thick accents so we'll be difficult to listen.
As for reddit, well we did try since back with Mass Effect 3. It did not work out at all, we had serious issues with subreddit mods. When we try to do again for MELE, we got the cold shoulder and we could tell nothing changed since a decade ago.
We're still looking into other options. We honestly rushed Instagram move because Twitter may go down in a matter of days, judging from reports of crucial staff leaving. The World Cup is this Sunday, so the site will most likely not be able to handle the traffic as even skeleton crew is gone.

Taken out of context, I hate the whole phrase "human defiance". As if defiance is somehow typical of only humans. Just sounds like lazy writing at this point without knowing what it really refers to.

Sounds like plot buzzword bingo to me. Human defiance, a distress signal from Andromeda (I suppose it didn't take another 600+ years to get to the Milky Way) and the Council being furious (about what? Why would they care about Andromeda 600 years later, it's not their jurisdiction anyway). I'm sure it will make sense somehow.

The original audio clip from Liara was overlaid against the footage of the mass relay being constructed wasn't it? Hence the defiance somehow refers to the building of the relay? You would imagine that the Council would be all over relay construction so it kind of makes sense if Humanity/Cerberus is off on its own building its own gate somewhere, for some reason.
All guesswork obviously. Until we have the context it's impossible to judge whether it would be appropriate or not.

I'm no big fan of the Council but constructing a gateway of any kind when you can't be sure what's going to come out of it is monumentally stupid. Didn't they learn anything from Doom? It could lead to an interesting situation though with humanity getting booted from the Council and such. We could have so many smug, insufferable Volus characters...

I think a lot depends on whether this is just Cerberus constructing its own relay, or whether the Systems Alliance is covertly backing them in that endeavor. I'm inclined to think it's just Cerberus off doing its own thing. The main reason being that the planet in the latest trailer appears to me to be the same planet as the one beneath the relay that's being constructed. There's also Cerberus colours on the relay, and on the stockpiled canisters in the new trailer. Most people seem to think that the N7 figure is some sort of agent/infiltrator, so I suspect that the Systems Alliance have sent an N7 to investigate/disrupt what Cerberus are up to. The obvious question of the back of this though is just what the **** are Cerberus up to? Where is this new relay paired to?

'Appears to be' but we can't adequately confirm that, just speculate that it might be so. They've already teased multiple different types of environments (smoggy cities, frozen snowscapes, standard dusty brown planets, jungles of some sort, grassy planes), but what actually pinged on me almost immediately was that the 2023 teaser has a similar color scheme atmospherically to the swamp-looking Mudskipper concept artwork we got a few years back. As for the Cerberus colors... there IS an OTOH that the "Cerberus Colors" were also used heavily for Mars Archive interior concept artwork.

That COULD be the same planet again, albeit a different part of it (ie seems more remote with no sky cars flying around), but generally you're absolutely correct of course, this is ALL speculation at this point. Re Cerberus colours - this is of course true, but presuming the Liara dialogue is actually referring to the relay being constructed then I'd probably say on balance it's much more likely to be Cerberus going clandestine against the Council rather than it being the Systems Alliance, but of course, it could be....!

There's also Cerberus colours on the relay, and on the stockpiled canisters in the new trailer. Most people seem to think that the N7 figure is some sort of agent/infiltrator, so I suspect that the Systems Alliance have sent an N7 to investigate/disrupt what Cerberus are up to. The obvious question of the back of this though is just what the **** are Cerberus up to? Where is this new relay paired to? By the goddess, I hope they don’t involve Cerberus in any way, shape, or form in this. They have been so overused. Plus why would anyone bring them back after they supported the Reapers?

I think a lot depends on whether this is just Cerberus constructing its own relay, or whether the Systems Alliance is covertly backing them in that endeavor. I'm inclined to think it's just Cerberus off doing its own thing. The main reason being that the planet in the latest trailer appears to me to be the same planet as the one beneath the relay that's being constructed. There's also Cerberus colours on the relay, and on the stockpiled canisters in the new trailer.

Plus why would anyone bring them back after they supported the Reapers? because they are the writers go to bad factions and Cerberus is an idea.
