Another concept art seems to hint at one of the places we’ll visit when the next Mass Effect finally comes out.
The images were originally unveiled as part of N7 Day (November 7), but received renewed attention over the weekend when they were reposted from the official Mass Effect Twitter account. Both works feature towering cityscapes bathed in sunset hues of yellow, orange and red. One image shows a turian, a salarian, and a krogan wearing respirator masks.
Fan opinion is divided on what this graphic represents, but many of the more likely options have a pretty strong connection to the asari. The architecture and lighting are very similar to their home planet, Thessia, which we visited in Mass Effect 3. It is also very similar to Illium, the asari corporate colony where we met Liara in Mass Effect 2.
Liara probably has some location connection to the art, judging by the big teaser.
But there are other options as well. Many fans have speculated that this could be the Omega Space Station. The idea seemed a little far-fetched until fans started comparing the sign in one of the images to the Omega display cases from Mass Effect 2 – they are identical. If this is Omega, then it has expanded significantly since its introduction in previous games.
The reality, of course, is that even BioWare may not have decided what this concept art is yet. The developers have made it clear that they are still “imagining” the next Mass Effect and anything that appears in the concept art is subject to change before release, although if BioWare is confident enough to show things like this to the public, it’s safe. say they suggest they are also confident this will become part of the game.
