If BioWare approaches the marketing for the next Mass Effect game the same way it’s done for Dragon Age 4, we’re looking at quite a gap between its announcement and its next big update. The game doesn’t even have a name yet, and that’s probably not going to change for some time. Of course, it’s going to be quite a while before we find out.

Interestingly enough, the crater’s shape bears quite a resemblance to the shape of a geth’s head, though given the theories that the next game will be set after Mass Effect 3’s “Destroy” ending, there is the question of how the geth will figure into the story- if that is what this piece of concept art is hinting at, that is. It shows a number of figures standing close to a ship from a bird’s eye view, with another lone figure standing some distance away from them at the heart of a crater. It’s an interesting piece to look at, that’s for sure. The next entry in the series was announced nearly a year ago, and the game was in early development at that point, which means it’s clearly going to be a while before we hear anything about it- but even so, to celebrate N7 Day as BioWare does on November 7 every year, the developer has released some new concept art from Mass Effect 4(or whatever the next game ends up being called). Mass Effect: Legendary Editionwas an absolute treat for fans of BioWare’s beloved sci-fi RPG series, but of course, what most people want more than anything else is another new Mass Effect game.
