In the months since the Mass Effect 4 trailer’s first showing at The Game Awards 2020 livestream last December, fans have been speculating on whether or not the new game will address the events of 2017’s divisive Mass Effect Andromeda or feature the unlikely return of original Mass Effect trilogy hero Commander Shepard. Very little is currently known about the plot of this new Mass Effect game, except that fan-favorite squadmate Liara T’Soni could have a supporting role. BioWare unveiled a brief teaser for the long-awaited next installment of its sprawling sci-fi RPG series late last year, marking Mass Effect’s return after nearly four years of dormancy. BioWare’s Michael Gamble is teasing a new revelation about the upcoming Mass Effect 4 if the game’s reveal trailer wins "Favorite Moment of 2020" at this year’s Game Awards.
