Happy N7 Day! BioWare and EA have been celebrating all things Mass Effect today, and that includes a sneak peek at some artwork for the upcoming Mass Effect 5 (or whatever it's called), along with some progress updates.
BioWare says that pre-production development has been "proceeding very well" recently, although there's nothing specific to share right now. In fact, it still sounds like it could be quite a while until we hear anything more substantial:
"One day, when we’re ready, we’ll have more to share on the next Mass Effect, so thank you for being a part of this journey with us. It’s exceptionally exciting for the team and we’d love to continue sharing glimpses of what we’re working on with you in the future."
Mike Gamble, the Project Director on Mass Effect 5, also noted how there's "much more we want to share with you" in a message to fans, but unfortunately confirmed "that’ll have to be for another time".
However, Gamble concluded his message by sharing some new artwork, which you'll see below:
"For now, there is something we want you to have a look at. We’ve intercepted some strange footage from one of the monitoring stations in known space. It could be nothing, but…"
Excited for Mass Effect 5? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below.

Did they ever come out and say what the "5 surprises" were in the original teaser image, besides the obvious crater shaped like the Geth?
And the long wait continues... God I hope we see it by 2025, but at the same time I want them to take their time. We know Bioware went through rough patches, but I have a really good feeling about this one. Happy #N7Day !
@themightyant Nope, but some fans did analyze it and found some interesting things.
So is it 5 or 4? I always thought of Andromeda like New Vegas, in naming convention only. If it's a direct sequel to the main games, then it should be 4, right?
@CrazyJF it's definitely a relay. Maybe being built from scratch, not repair. That doesn't look like the original smooth, curvy, bluish material is there at all. In the lower left corner it says (kinda blurry so some letters are hard to make out)
"Vacuumdock Relay Construction Record / Monitoring Station Operated by Green Dagger Ltd. Property of Deepspace **ow SAV / Ship Captain Sub-Navarch Soa'Rhai Zhilan-Jones"
Good lord, they're still in pre-production? Well hopefully that means they're planning out an entire trilogy story arc and not making it up as they go along like last time.
I'll wait to see something before I feel strongly about it, but I need to play 3 and Andromeda first. I think I have plenty of time to beat them.
Andromeda 2.
'We promise, it's good this time'
Man I hope this game stands up to the Mass Effect name. I actually enjoyed Andromeda, but the trouble they had with the frostbite engine and all the cut content and rushed development really hurt that game in the long run.
So looks like a mass relay being rebuilt I remember spoiler alert a mass relay we blew up in a dlc with an asteroid base with indoctrinated humans looks like reapers are trying again for another come back also this is why I'm currently replaying all the mass effect again and soon dragon age because rumours of a new one coming now so I'm replaying everything to get caught back up again also mass effect introduced 2 hostile races the vorcha and that slaver race I forgot name to ATM so why has vorcha and the slaver race been expanded upon after shoving repears down till the Final fight
@IronMan30 ive beaten 1 and 2 already just finishing up collecting everything in mass effect 2 then moving onto 3 and then andromeda the crappy one
@Flattertiger27
Well it's spoiler for some ending, but which one) cuz there are no enough info)
