Mass Effect Just Stealth-Dropped a New Reveal
N7 day has always been a special occasion for the Mass Effect community. Taking place every November 7th (of course), Bioware would release some token of appreciation to the fans, and the fans do what they do best.

But this time around, things were a bit different. Aside from the usual thank you, a strange little tease was dropped.

There’s a weird number of coincidences between these details and things already hinted at about the next Mass Effect entry…
