But another piece of news has left the fans buzzing. The studio announced that several devs behind the success of the previous games are making a return to work on the new project.
The trailer featured Dr. Liara T’Soni as the nucleus of the new title. She is an Asari researcher who was born in 2077 and dedicated her life to studying Prothean technology and their way of life. She does this to better understand the reason behind why the species (Prothean) went extinct.

Patrons of the Mass Effect series might already be aware of her abilities. These include the ability to manipulate dark energy and create large mass effect fields through electrical impulses.
The aforementioned premise is drool-worthy enough, but the news of the original devs returning serves as the cherry on top.
