Confirmation that Sheppard is still the protagonist. I know a lot of ppl would prefer to move on. But to me that's like Halo moving on from the Master Chief.
@@SchizmKing I really hope Shepard is not still the protagonist. ME needs to move on and make a new awesome protagonist. Imagine if Ezio was still the AC protagonist all these years later.
There isn't a game/tv show/movie or whatever else in the world that makes my tears well up from just watching a summary of everything we know. The hype is enormous.
We can only hope they respect solid, well-tensioned storytelling and don't dilute the experience with such poor procedural generation again... And have characters as potent as the original trilogy, who are not completely de-sexualised. Oh. And fuck off Disney corporate wankers!
@@simonsheridan5906 I got halfway through mass effect 2 before I got really busy with college. Now I’m playing fallout but I will finish the trilogy this summer when I have free time
I am so excited for tomorrow and what is potentially revealed. If anyone is wanting to try Andromeda the Deluxe Edition is on sale for 6$ over on steam an absolute steal for an amazing game.
Thanks for another great timeline. All I want to hear from them on N7 Day is some indication that their plans are not in jeopardy given everything that is going on.
Nice laying out of the info we have! After 10:06 (okay it's Remnant, good) + 10:26 (the original relays have been repaired; I missed that info) something made click for me: I'm pretty sure this mass relay is being built to connect the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxy, which basically bring them together without them literally physically merging like in some of the art as this would not exactly a good time to be around. If they send us in at that time, we'll be having years of evacuation runs as our main mission. Might get a bit boring. ;) With the hypotheses about the new mass relay the obvious question is: Why? ... Probably something originating from the Milky Way caused the Scourge and or they found out what caused it via the weird Geth telescope and they want to help fix that: Probably 10:56 somehow caused that.
"the original relays have been repaired; I missed that info" The moment where the Relay is in the process of repair is only in Control, Blue ending. As far as I remember the story in MEA, Jardaan had a split. Their faction was divided into two factions. The faction that used the Scourge was called the Opposition.
An excellent and timely summary. Personally, I'm not excited, I'm pessimistic and am keeping my expectations low. I hope I'm wrong, but I expect N7 day 2023 to be PR boilerplate - "we're so excited to be working to bring you the next Mass Effect!" - and maybe a minor teaser or two. Minor as in, a picture of a rendered internal bulkhead from a new ship, or Liara's new footwear. I think they won't share much simply because they don't have much to share.
If they're doing both galaxies... @10:31, what if through the use of remnant tech, things learned from the Kett, and also technologies garnered via the destruction of the Reapers somehow allows for a relay between galaxies to exist?
I want Shepard to return. And I think that's how you make sense of the trilogy. You have Shepard awaken the hero he/she deserves to be. For 2 games everyone outside his team thinks he's crazy, then the 3rd game everyone is dying. It would be nice for a change to have Shepard being praised instead of questioned. Act 1. Have Shepard awaken to a grateful galaxy in repair. Catch up with all the old characters while introducing new counselors, leaders and plans. Have Shepard be at his best with all the love and accolades, no matter your coloured ending. Act 2 Shepard helps rebuild connections with lost colonies that were forgotten or unreachable due to the war. Learning of war crimes, survivor stories, maybe a whole species that was shown or not in the first trilogy but was seen as unworthy of ascension and the fall out from that. Act 3 Shepard learns of the arks. Has to confront "the benefactors" left behind followers and discover their plans for the Nexus. Answer how dark energy plays into the new story. Leaves mass effect 6 open to go to either galaxy or both.
I'm just sat here thinking ' Kala should really have a voiceover job in the new game, such a gorgeous speaking tone and really deserves a cameo......but then she'd be under NDA.....' 😊
Maybe a new Milky Way Galaxy Andromeda Mass Relay... because Helleus is just one cluster.. can be easily added to a game based in several clusters in a Milky Way Galaxy based game.. with access to Helleus cluster too as part of the game progresion... (600 years after the Reapers)
At 04:35 Gamble wrote "(!virtually!)". I bet it's intentional. Did he referred to the virtual aliens, or there will be some way the Milky Way and Andromeda established a way of communication? Or... MEME --> He is either just trolling us by sending a meme or, my idea is Mass Effect: Milky Way's Edge. (I know technically it's MEMWE but I like the sound of that.)
Kala.. at 10:11 that new mass effect relay is being built...in Andromeda. When I heard you saying those words that is what came to my mind based on the sequence of the questions being answered by Mike Gamble. It makes sense the Andromeda Initiative WOULD be able to make/create Mass Relay. This has me VERY excited about the next Mass Effect game. I have a feeling it will be most unexpected. They could connect to the furthest relay on the edge on the Mikey Way Galaxy closes to the Andromeda Galaxy due to the sheer power it must need, perhaps? SO many questions.
If the game is set anywhere near the 82nd century and they don't bring back the particle small arms from 3 and Andromeda or some other energy based regular guns I'll be very upset unless they have an incredibly good explanation. I wonder if the Normandy crew puts themselves into stasis somehow because I'm pretty sure even Liara and Grunt would be long dead of old age by that point without some form of intervention.
Did it occur to someone that Henry Cavil might be a voice actor for the next ME game? I hope it's that, because I'm completely against the idea of ME show.
so wait basically it’ll be a continuation to the old series and NOT Andromeda? y’all please i just finished 1,2,3 and i read that Andromeda doesn’t revolve around the old shepherd which was honestly disappointing? so from what i gather 5 would be a continuation to the old series yeah?
Definitely play Andromeda and give it a shot but go in not expecting Shepard. It's definitely it's own game. But it will for sure have connections to the next game
If you look at the n7 day message, there's extra O and l added to a bunch of words. If you record the letters as binary and then convert to text, you get "Epsilon".
Great video, clear they are not going to abandon any Mass Effect fans. I am still praying no-time travel. I love stories created for time travel as a core part, hate it as a rescue trope. Still believe per announcement on the Nexus, that MW was not as far as people were told, definity not 600 years.
Even tho I'm a fan of Starfield I really hope that mass effect takes that route. A few barren planets to explore for Easter egg haunting and random missions, sure. But i wanna see bombastic settings and cities, not just another settlement that needs your help.
I just started the series last week started with andromeda I’m not to far in but decided to go back and play the legendary edition to experience the trilogy before finishing andromeda which so far is a 8/10 the first one ME1 is a 6/10 so far mainly because of the dated game mechanics like no jumping and controls like A to run also my favorite abilities aren’t present the energy drain and shockwave tech and adept powers
There is going to be a Remastered Legendary before the release of Mass Effect 5? Please, Bioware, make some serious changes! 1. Let Shepard live at the end of ME3, especially if Shepard will not be in ME5. One of the reasons I think players can't or don't want to let Shepard go is all the hard work and emotional effort put into the game only Shepard die (not once but twice). Have Shepard become the new Human Consulor or have Shepard and the LI of choose to help rebuild Earth or another plant. This would give the fans closer and make a proper passing of the torch to Ryder 2. More dialog. The interaction between Shepard and EDI in M3 was AMAZING! It was different each time, unlike with other crew members that eventually just locked into a cycle. Especially annoying, was you finally commit to a relationship, and you get the same old response, such as Liara's "Hello Shepard" or Miranda's "I'm just tying up some loose ends..." Plus, give Shepard option for calling out stupid comments. Like with reminding Javik that his cycle lost for being inflexible then ranting how much better his cycle was or Jacob when he insults Thane by saying he nothing but a mercenary loyal to his next paycheck. Dude! Jacob is a gun for hire getting paid by Cerberus. That's a mercenary. 2. Give Femshep at least a few romances that don't end with her betrayed, belittled by them trying to prove they are suddenly better than Shepard or them dying like Thane. Plus update the clothes for both Shepards going from ME2 to ME3. Everything gets changed but that. 3. Please stop disrespecing ME2 crew members. All they seem to be in ME3 other than EDI, Tali and Garrus is so they can be added to Fleet strength points Also let them attend Thane and Shepard memorial ( if they dont change Shepard dying at the ME3). Give Miranda immunity like Jack, Kusumi and Jacob get. It doesnt have to change her storyline except She will then only Cerberus will be hunting her but not the Alliance and Council. If Shepard is in a relationship with an ME2 crewmate let them be part of the battle to retake earth. Easy fix just have Miranda or Jack reboard the Normandy with Hackett as the battle is set to begin. 4. This one is more personal for me. Dishonorably discharge James Vega. I am a Marine combat vet. Bioware seems to have taken every negative Marine stereotype and wrote it into Vega. The military code of conduct charge is Conduct Unbecoming of a Marine. 1. A Marine is not allowed not yell at, insult, purposefully get drunk, or strike superior officers. 2. A Marine does not endanger lives and then brag it was to "Save then the day" 3. A Marine is not supposed to be unwanted to be allowed to make unwanted sexual advances or take sexual advantage when someone is drunk. ( If bioware was trying to make a social statement about a very real issue in the military, then NOT letting him get away with is the the way to do it) DON'T award Vega an N7
Good riddance to Hudson lol! He ruined most of ME3, he likes cinematics way too much over gameplay me thinks. I would've personally fired Mr Durrah if I was a senior executive at EA. Utter fool of a man.Gameplay was good in Andromeda but enemies worthless....
I really don't like that time travel/distortion stuff... That's got nothing to do with Mass Effect, you know? That's totally outta character for the franchise.
I hope we get something tomorrow even if its small, maybe get confirmation of returning cast or something. Anything will get me even more excited
Confirmation that Sheppard is still the protagonist. I know a lot of ppl would prefer to move on. But to me that's like Halo moving on from the Master Chief.
@@SchizmKing I agree highly man
@@SchizmKing I really hope Shepard is not still the protagonist. ME needs to move on and make a new awesome protagonist. Imagine if Ezio was still the AC protagonist all these years later.
Incredible job collating this all together... So excited for tomorrow. Can't wait to see what Bioware has to share!
There isn't a game/tv show/movie or whatever else in the world that makes my tears well up from just watching a summary of everything we know. The hype is enormous.
I'm concerned about the future of mass effect
I am concerned about BioWare 😢
It's sad that IMHO that my favorite RPG right now is a game not from Bioware. (BG3)
We can only hope they respect solid, well-tensioned storytelling and don't dilute the experience with such poor procedural generation again... And have characters as potent as the original trilogy, who are not completely de-sexualised. Oh. And fuck off Disney corporate wankers!
You're sad that your favorite rpg is a good game?
I’m concerned about the future of gaming itself (minus the indie scene they doin fine)
Thank you Kala!! I really hope that we get something tomorrow!!! 🤞🏻
Tomorrows N7 day?! I just started Mass effect for the first time yesterday and I’m loving it
I’d like an update on this. Surely you finished the whole trilogy by now!
@@simonsheridan5906 I got halfway through mass effect 2 before I got really busy with college. Now I’m playing fallout but I will finish the trilogy this summer when I have free time
Thanks for the amazing in-depth & Informative video Kala!
Also (an eagerly early) Happy N7 Day to everyone from Australia
Happy N7 day everyone!

Tomorrow is going to be fun! Great job putting everything for this video together!
Wow. That was a lot of digging. Thx for the pre N7 day breakdown and hype.
We can't wait for the news! Thanks for this video - it was very helpful! Happy (early) N7 Day from the Stormbreaker crew!
It's already november 7 here and i'm so curious about what we're going to see today!
Happy N7 day Kala!
Keelah se lai.
When I saw those suns, I also started thinking about dark matter having their way with the suns. That’s be an interesting direction for the series
Thanks for another great timeline. All I want to hear from them on N7 Day is some indication that their plans are not in jeopardy given everything that is going on.
Thank you soooo much!! 5pm EST, got it. I will remain hopeful :)
Thank you for this very well done overview.
This was soo in-depth, thank you for covering this!! I can't wait for tomorrow. 😤

honestly idk what to expect but any breadcrumbs will give me serotonin enough for a month
A big thank you from a French-speaking Belgium fan.
Bravo for your inspired and inspiring contents.
see you tomorrow
Gamble is the ULITMATE troll lol amazing video as always!
So excited for today!
An amazing video with so much information. Thank you for your research. So very curious about what kind of teases they will throw at us tomorrow.
An excellent and timely summary. Personally, I'm not excited, I'm pessimistic and am keeping my expectations low. I hope I'm wrong, but I expect N7 day 2023 to be PR boilerplate - "we're so excited to be working to bring you the next Mass Effect!" - and maybe a minor teaser or two.

So were you disappointed?
A good analysis. Though given the time passing, I think nothing is set in stone.
Happy (soon to be) N7 day
I am excited for N7 day and my guess on n7 day could be concept arts or bit teaser "I should go "
your newest vids are in my feed but marked private and locked out black screen. it locked up youtube too had to reboot to get youtube working again
I need Angara back so bad!!! If I see Jaal, I’ll genuinely scream.
FYI @ 17:41 the person Gamble is responding to is Cory Balrog creative director/studio head for God of War
If they're doing both galaxies... @10:31, what if through the use of remnant tech, things learned from the Kett, and also technologies garnered via the destruction of the Reapers somehow allows for a relay between galaxies to exist?
I think the Distress signal everyone is talking about is the Jaar'dan Distress signal. 🤔

LET'S GOO!

I'm just sat here thinking
' Kala should really have a voiceover job in the new game, such a gorgeous speaking tone and really deserves a cameo......but then she'd be under NDA.....' 😊
The big reveal on N7 day will be seeing Kala live, the face behind the voice 😅
Maybe a new Milky Way Galaxy Andromeda Mass Relay... because Helleus is just one cluster.. can be easily added to a game based in several clusters in a Milky Way Galaxy based game.. with access to Helleus cluster too as part of the game progresion... (600 years after the Reapers)

N7 Livestream on RUclips or twitch ?
Today sure be interesting day, also on Sunday. Edit: No way that one article is all what they planed 🤔
if it is me:me then maybe it's Mass Effect Mass Exodus, and the new relay is an attempt at an escape away from the Milky Way
❤❤❤
mass effect best damn space opera in franchizes ever
this will compared to bg3 and fixed cp2077 so we will see how if this will be a real game or just something like starfield

They have to make me care about Andromeda, I literally feel like shutting down everytime I hear ME:Andromeda
At most we’re gonna get a new picture
If the game is set anywhere near the 82nd century and they don't bring back the particle small arms from 3 and Andromeda or some other energy based regular guns I'll be very upset unless they have an incredibly good explanation. I wonder if the Normandy crew puts themselves into stasis somehow because I'm pretty sure even Liara and Grunt would be long dead of old age by that point without some form of intervention.
Should I play andromeda or can I continue to skip it?
The story was pretty meh, but the combat and game play was fun. I don't think it's a bad purchase if it's on sale.
you should,its all the matter of taste in the end, but im really love MEA
With how the gaming industry has been, well not holding my breath. Also its not stalking its "surveillance" lol
Love these.
What if Liara's a *Councilor...?*
I bet there is a lot of the top Develepers and even lower level staff in the teams that really want a new game but are held back somehow.
Did it occur to someone that Henry Cavil might be a voice actor for the next ME game? I hope it's that, because I'm completely against the idea of ME show.

5? What happened to 4?
It's called Andromeda. Sorry to break the news to you.
They working on mass effect five Since Mass effect legendary edition

Milky Way to the Andromeda Galaxy: "We'll bang OKAY."
I say give mass effect to Larian studios
We need shaper
in a year or two noone will give a damn
This comment is in regards to your Live feed I came in late but wanted to let you know how great it was to see all my mass tubers together 🎉🎉😊
