A new Mass Effect is coming at an unknown point in the future, but teasers from BioWare over the past few years have hinted that a direct follow-up to the trilogy’s conclusion is in the works. After the series’ Legendary Edition remastered collection brought Mass Effect back into the spotlight in 2021, the connections between the cast of Shepard’s adventures and the future of the galaxy have allowed players to reflect on how certain characters could factor into the next game. One party member with major significance to the lore despite originating as DLC seems like wasted potential in retrospect, but there’s still hope to redeem him in Mass Effect 4.
