Fans have known for a while now that a new Mass Effect title is in development. BioWare displayed a trailer of the game at The Game Awards, which stood as an official announcement.
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.
