New Concept Art Revealed for Next Mass Effect Game

New concept art has been revealed for the next Mass Effect game by way of a new art book. As spotted by Eurogamer, stills from the recently released art book 'Bioware: Stories and Secrets from 25 Years of Game Development' were posted by Tumblr user Felassan. We can see three images from the upcoming game, showing off new worlds and potential characters. Most notably, one of the artworks contains the same doorway from the official concept art shown earlier this month, suggesting that the ship will feature heavily in the next game. Via Felassan, the new book introduces the images as “a look at the next Mass Effect.” "A veteran team is hard at work envisioning the next big Mass Effect game," reads the blurb. "Expect amazing new worlds to explore with memorable characters buoyed by the series’ signature choices and consequences." The pictures are pretty murky at the moment so it's hard to make out specific characters, but it looks like they're investigating some kind of crashed ship, or entering into an underground base. Giant wires are hanging from the trees which look scientific in nature. There's also an image of some terrifying, oppressive architecture that hangs high above a forest. It looks like there's a city on top of another environment, or at least some kind of structure, a bit like Midgar in Final Fantasy 7. This resembles the Remnant structures from Mass Effect Andromeda, suggesting the next game may return to the new galaxy from BioWare's last outing in space. The final image shows a structure that looks akin to the series' mass relays, emblazoned with 'MR 7' - it looks as though we're seeing the construction of new relays, which enable far-flung travel across the series' galaxies.

We also finally got word on the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, which will comprise all three of the original Mass Effect games in a single remastered package – it will arrive in 2021.
