A better theory would be if shepard will be back is a Cryogenic Stasis, Liara or someone alse finds him and places him in a Cryogenic Stasis so it does not die until it is healed. At the same time if liara does not find him first the trailer could mean that Liara is searching for him. Shepard could not be found on earth because at the end he was on the citadel and he could heave been thrown in space. As well as the beam on earth transported shepard to the Citadel, something like that could heave activated when the Crucible fired. I don't think that the race that designed the Crucible planned to kill the one that activates it. About the Angara and Shepard's possible return it could be that around the end of ME 3 the Jardaan arrives in the Milky Way with some Angara an then the Jardaan could heave the technology and share it with the Milky way to get faster to Andromeda Galaxy.Since The Jardaan left Andromeda so many years ago it could be around the end of ME 3 there are a lot of possibilities its crazy when you think about them all. And i think it would be Epic if the jardaan comes to the milky way, maybe kett as well, who would be best for Peace Galactic Preservation then shepard, as well if the game will start as default with the Destroy ending if you go full paragon and save all people possible there will not be many death friends, EDI's body could heave been destroyed but her core could heave survived since the Normandy was fine at the end. So the only deaths will be the Geth(maybe not all of them) and Mordin because he cured the genophage. As well i would not mind if the start of the next game if its after the ME3 ending could change a bit, like release another ending for me 3 cut seen that makes the Catalyst a liar( by this i mean that when the the Crucible fired it killed the reapers affected all other tech but not destroy them only damage them for a time i mean the geth/edi and other VI). They could do it in 100 ways i can't wait to see what they heave decided. What do you think?

Would've been more interesing if he's still alive, yet his wounds are too fatal for it to heal naturally. Therefore, a Lazarus 2.0 would only be used to heal his wounds. Which should makes sense, since neither the Alliance or the Galactic Allied Forces built the thing, it should have less capabilities than the original. And it wouldn't take like 2 years to bring him back, therefore the story would flow much smoother without another time skip.

Depends if the mass relays are destroyed. Without the mass relays, all the star clusters are essentially like isolated islands. They're too far apart for travel and communication between them to be practical. If they're destroyed, then they need to be rebuilt, and the races of the galaxy don't really know how. It makes sense for things to occur way in the future.

The connection to Andromeda might just be an indication that they plan on making more games set in Andromeda, not necessarily that Andromeda will be part of the next game.

I just want to throw out this idea: Remember the first halo 5 trailer. Story wise, it was close-ish, guardian, chief having a broken helmet, chief searching for cortana, but little else was in the game. No dessert planet like that one, no jedi robe, no necklace with cortana's chip, and not even the same music. Point is, this trailer and concept art, could be leading us to believe something different, so while it is fun to theory-craft, remember a few things: 1: It's EA 2: It's bioware and 3: trailer and concept art may be a bit different in the final game.

I like this theory, but one part of it makes me very worried Since it's Liara who finds the N7 thing, it could be hundreds of years after ME3, given her lifetime. I DON'T want that to happen, because that means Shepard will have to leave behind anyone who isn't Liara or Grunt. This would include any love interests that weren't Liara. I wouldn't want that to happen to Tali, for instance, that's too cruel. If it is Shepard and he is coming back, I want it to be maximum 10 years that he's been frozen. Then, even though significant time will have passed, it won't be so much that none of his other friends or love interests are around anymore. I think 5-10 years is a reasonable amount to change the Galaxy's state and rebuild some of the the relays, granted the Charon relay is still destroyed in the trailer, so it can't of been that long, given that Charon would probably be one of the first repaired. And since we know Shepard died/got very badly injured on the Citadel, it's almost guaranteed he's in the Sol system, so they wouldn't have to look for long. My guess is the trailer is on Europa or Enceladus, if this is indeed Shepard. Gravity just wouldn't allow him to be anywhere else, right?

I think there is a possibility that the N7 rank Liara finds in the trailer is someone else's N7 insignia. Shepard wasn't the only N7 in the System's Alliance military. I think she finds it as she is looking for allies and it reminds her of Shepard and then also reminds her that Shepard's line continued through whoever you might choose during a tutorial and Liara returns to that person to chat with that person and that person is convinced to join as a party member.

Shepard's resurrection in ME2 could explain why he could still be alive 600 years later. Shepard was dead like super dead, spaced then burned up on re-entry. So they would have to ramp up his cells ability to regenerate slowing if not stopping the aging process. Couple with his cybernetics as well as the cybernetic upgrades you could opt for, would make death by natrual causes almost impossible. I wrote this prior to the mentioning of the Lazarus Project in this video.

The game is called Mass Effect 4, and not something like Mass Effect Andromeda. WHen it's called nr 4, it means it's a sequel to the real Mass Effect story, and not a side story. Of course people will get their hopes up for something insane. My hopes is that a new and "better" antagonist will come. The reapers were part of the Milky Way, and not the whole universe. So maybe Bioware will make a new antagonist who controlls more of the universe and not just a galaxy.

I’d like them to rest in peace. However, if Shepard is the next protagonist and it takes place after ME3’s destroy ending then Shepard’s injuries would be very likely to put them out of commission. If they do come back, I don’t think they’d still be a soldier but it would be cool to have Shep back. Also, I know Liara’s Bioware’s favourite but a lot of fans don’t really like her all that much

So, the only way I'd accept a living, human, flesh and bone Shepard in ME4 as the player character (or even as an antagonist) is if the renegade/destruction option was made canon. But, Shepard's story is done! The small conversation between the kid and the parent gave that impression and it should be so. Time for a new protagonist. Also, if the destruction of synthetics would be canon, then, I'd wager only some Asari and Krogan would be old enough to remember it, and they might not care so much for the destruction of all synthetics. Whereas Quarians and other species with short lifespans may keep the stories alive through records or word of mouth. Or not. So no one would really be berating a live-Shepard for their decision to kill all synthetic, potentially sentient life. But, I'd like to think the control option was canon, since it is by far the most beneficial to every race. Since, through Shepard's control the remaining Reaper forces could've helped the races repair the relays, so they could re-establish connections with their lost systems and home-worlds and help rebuild them MUCH faster (as without the relays, it would've been impossible or impossibly long). And they could've built a whole new citadel in the process, too. The synthesis option is just icky. Yeah, sure, they wouldn't think of them themselves in that way, since there would be no difference between organic and inorganic life, but looking at it from an organic's perspective, those green energies running through the bodies is a bit...eww. But, the synthesis option has the least chance of being canon. And if the Control option turns out be canon, then, where would that leave Shepard's consciousness inside the Reapers? Where would the controlled Reapers be? Just hanging around, chilling? Or constantly building stuff, like a universal, super-efficient labor-force? It would be weird to have the controlled Reapers around and still be worried about ANY new enemies that could possibly threaten their current galactic society. What could possibly be a bigger threat that has Liara searching for (Shepard?), likely hundreds of years later? Shepard's story should be done.

It's possible. If Shepard was pushed through a relay because of the blast with a piece of the Citadel or any piece of reaper tech, the tech alone could help sustain him while in ice for the period in question. We saw in ME2 I believe how reaper tech could still effect people even after being destroyed. In the trailer, if it is Shepard Liara has found, could he potentially be entombed within the reaper she's walking on? I mean it will take a hell of a writer to put it all together but the Mass Effect writers are pretty damn good. Also we don't know what techniques were used in regenerating Shepard during the Lazarus project. Could that be boosting his ability to survive the time in ice? Humans live up to 150 years in the ME universe and I remember Miranda saying she will live twice as long as the average human because of her enhancements. She was the project lead during that project, so who knows. So many questions in the air, not to mention the Prothean Beacon, the tech within Shepard, who knows. I'm just really excited to see what they do. Even if he is dead, if they could restore him after getting spaced 600 years prior, who knows that they can do with tech that's advanced within that 600 years. I would say though it could be interesting to see Shep dealing with the loss, and dealing with the decisions he made but as you say if it is set in the future, the only friends that could possibly be around are Wrex, Grunt and Liara and I guess Edi, if they somehow saved her from the destroy ending. If they do a time skip, I'd much rather it be something like 70 years or 100 years later, where a lot of you former squad could still be alive. Most of them would be very important people within their home worlds. Maybe even Council members. Shep walking into a council meeting after all that time and surprising a lot of people could be a really good scene.

@@TGBurgerGaming That makes no sense. The trailer is setting up the atmosphere and telling us that the events of ME3 happened yet to which exactly is left open ended for now. The Reapers in the background at least give us a sense they are no longer an issue or left over Reaper corpses are still about. If they managed to unlock certain relays like the one in darkspace that is never brought up again. It is logical to think Andromeda could have a relay somewhere there or outside of the galaxy yet explored. However Andromeda brings nothing to the table even the Kett. The Yahg, Raloi, and various other species of the galaxy have a chance to rise up against the very weakened state of the galaxy. There is no telling what chocies if any would cross over to ME4 . Despite this Shepard will ALWAYS be better than any other protagonist they set up since three games, mutiple books/comics and a potential movie on the way is a asset they would not dare sideline again. Ryder is disliked for many reasons and whike a decent portion of problems were fixed in later patches the damage was done for that character, and no offense story wise Andromeda is a very poorly lore written story that deserves to be hated on. So Bioware going back too the roots of Shepard is the best option for them and the destroy ending is the way to go, OR the refuse ending and some races and squadmates survived and look for Shepard to prepare for their arrival again. So many ways to go yet Bioware knows Shepard is what the grey warden should have been for the face of Dragon Age for 7/10 times you hear the Warden rather than the inquisitior who was GIVEN special powers yet the warden had to EARN it. Hawk was already the best yet at least he struggled for it. The Inquisitior is not what bioware should do for mass effect. Rather if they want multi races a MMORPG is better, MP, or a game not involving anything 2000 years since ME3.

The best part is that Garrus actually jokes about this at some point in ME2: "If this war goes south, Shepard, maybe we could freeze you for 50 000 years. You could go from being merely famous to legendary". And speaking about Garrus, I'm not sure if I'd like to play as my Shep without her space boyfriend (not to mention her family, friends, and squad-/crewmates). I think it would be more interesting to play a person who'd explore Shepard's legacy, among other things. Though yeah, it would be cool to meet Liara or Grunt (IIRC, Wrex wasn't that young anymore). And the destroy ending definitely doesn't have to be the canon one for ME4 (assuming that we'll really play as our Shep). Doesn't Shep turn into some kind of an AI when choosing the control ending? I guess they could use a body, not necessarily an organic one, as an avatar - I mean, if EDI could... And the control ending doesn't mean that there's no dead Reapers to be found somewhere. Not to mention that at this point I'm not even sure that the fourth game absolutely *has* to take place many years after ME3.

Control has a wide array of scenario, could be interesting.

If I remember correctly in ME1 it was mentioned something about the Citadel being a mass relay itself so that might "possibly" answer your question on how Shepard may have been teleported to another world. and if you remember in the ending of ME3 the Citadel shot out a beam that traveled through every mass relay in the galaxy. So "Maybe" Shepard got caught in that beam and was transported to another mass relay but was ejected in some unknown system, hitched a ride on a now dead reaper corpse and crash landed on an unknown ice planet with two moons. And that is all.

I believe it was you MrHulthen that said in a previous video that the next protagonist could start on the Citadel. When I got to the Crucible battle over Earth in ME3 the cinematic kept cutting to a fighter pilot and he/she was wearing a helmet masking their identity. (Possible Protagonist, also opens male/female option.) This made me think what an epic start that would be to ME4 if you played that pilot, participated in the space battle to get things going, then crash land on the citadel and continue on foot to find Shepard. The citadel opens and your character is shot down, you crash some where on the citadel presumably close to where Shepard is and Anderson are. Since there is no clear passage of time in ME3 between when the energy blast goes off and when the Normandy escapes, it could be possible that your character locates Shepard in the rubble, secures a ship and flies to the Normandy where Shepard is now in the medical bay, which would explain why our love interest smiles when holding Shepard's plaque. I just watched a video of the ending to be sure I wasn't talking out of my ass, it shows the energy building up, it also shows Joker being told to go, then it cuts away. This scene could be expanded to show at that moment they get a call over the coms, it's the new protagonist and he/she has Shepard on board, they get them on board the Normandy and then you see them flying away.

A thought I had for what mass effect 4 might be. From my perspective the dev team have a problem and it is the endings. Sure they could pick a canonical ending but that could alienate the players that feel one of the other endings should be canon. If they pick the destroy ending as canon they might receive blow back from people feeling the time they put into the games as pointless. I don't see the dev team wanting to take this path as bioware already has a lot of bad press from sub-par games. So how could they preserve that player choice without over complicating the game? The thought I had was what if the start of the game is Liara in her Matron stage of life telling the story of Shepard -- one specific story. What took place between Mass Effect 1 and 2 -- specifically how she recovered Shepard's body. Then the ending does not matter so much because they could add some lines to talk away the choice of ending before getting into the meat of the game. You could then have your character creation where you can create a new character as 'one of the team' that helped Liara recover the body. It would make for an interesting story and what Liara tells you of it can leave enough for interpretation. Was it only her and Feron or was there a small team involved? This is not, in my opinion, the best story to tell and I hope Bioware avoids it but it is one way they could side step the ending choice and still tell a newish story.

I do think the Popsicle Shepard Theory is somewhat plausible as, like both you and Charlie said, the energy from the crucible could have teleported Shepard 600+ years into the future. Shepard would then crash land and be frozen in ice similarly to Cap due to the massive amount of cybernetics and cellular regeneration in their body. (In ME2 Shep was dead for TWO YEARS and Cerberus was able to bring them back almost like nothing ever happened. That wouldn't work without the serums they injecting them with that caused massive amounts of cellular regeneration).

If Shep survives the Destroy ending, they could always patch him up, throw him in a stasis pod, and ship him to Andromeda. But I truly hope they don't. I want Shep to return, but only as a broken, PTSD riddled shell of his former self that serves as an Admiral Anderson character to the next player character who is tasked in helping to rebuild the galaxy. However, let's not overlook why dead Reapers would be in the Andromeda galaxy. If the trailer does indeed show that ME4 will take place in Andromeda, and Liara is walking on a dead one....the implications are interesting that maybe the cycle was NOT just a Milky Way problem, and that the Reapers didn't just go wait in dark space, but indeed harvested other galaxies during the 50k year cycles. This would make sense in a way, because if they truly viewed themselves as the ONLY solution to chaos, I don't see why they wouldn't go solve the problems EVERYWHERE, instead of the Milky Way. Which could lead to other relays being in other galaxies. Then, it wouldn't matter if the story took place hundreds of years later, as it would ONLY be 600 years later in Andromeda NOT the Milky Way, and thus Shep and gang could go fight them everywhere. That would allow Bioware the leeway to explain away, basically, the events of ME:A, and not try to fix anything, and also avoid too many issues with the original trilogy.

I think another way to bring Shepard 600 years in the future to crossover with the Andromeda crew (if BioWare really is set on that) is the “Javik route”. Lets say destroy is cannon, Shepard survives and is settling down with his love interest (Male Shepard and Liara in this example.) The remaining core of Cerberus attacks, kidnapping Shepard and leaving Liara badly injured. They take Shepard to the planet Liara find the piece of his helmet and put him in to stasis to be awoken by the Illusive Man’s (Jack Harper) daughter Cora! Setting up Cora as a sort of double agent with Liara and the Andromeda crew trying to rescue Shepard… the big twist will be Shepard working with Cerberus 2.0 and giving the player the choice to go full paragon or full darkside renegade….

I think an easy way to work around the issues with time travel is for there to be some kind of wormhole that links the 2819 Andromeda galaxy to the 2186 Milky Way. There's no interfering with established events since the arks left before the Reapers invaded, so there's no concern about anyone changing history. Just a way to bridge the two worlds together, rather than just having a handful of trilogy characters left. Alternately they could just do what the Protheans did and have major trilogy characters recreated as VIs.

There are tons of ways to bring Shepard back. We know he'd been cloned, so his body can be new. We know that Cerberus had contingency plans for him not being revivable. In all likelihood that meant attempts to back up his mind. Heck Edi could have been interfacing with his implants for a nightly backup. The Geth had him hooked up when helping Legion, so they may have made a copy as well. The Leviathan had access to him, and their tech is supposed to be off the charts.

What if by Shepard being the catalyst Shepard was the medium in which the energy was distributed from relay to relay bouncing from system to system. Perhaps the two mooned planet was in the final system to get the energy from the catalyst Shepard and much like in ME2 he happen to fall to the nearest ice planet where Liara finds him after tracking the path of the energy through the Galaxy. She IS a very good Shadow Broker.

What if the N7 insignia is actually Alec Ryder's? That could be the way Bioware throws us for a loop. The game is still 700 years after me3, but shep and co travel to Andromeda via cryosleep to find and reconnect with the andromeda initiative and warn them that it's safe to go back. They get to andromeda, they find the Remnant and maybe they find out about the dark energy plotline and try to fix it in andromeda. Also, in real life the Andromeda galaxy and the Milky Way will eventually merge together into the Milkdromeda galaxy. That will happen millions of years in the future, but in a SciFi setting could actually be a major plot point

Building their own Mass relays makes a lot of sense. The Omega 4 relay in ME2 was said to use a friend/foe system. These newly built mass relays could use the same type of system. This means that the alliance or council races would get an early warning that someone or something is using their relay or trying to at least with no success. The Mass relay would only activate if you have a registered friend/foe code.

Well we have the Lazarus Project remember. That project literally dissected him and put him back together, there are a lot of ways that his body could be much more durable than any normal human that we don’t know about yet. The details on that project are pretty vague if I remember, you never get any information on its long term effects on his body. So that could easily open a door to a Captain America-Like comeback. Idk just something to ponder on I guess.

I think it would be really interesting to have a frozen shep rather than one in hiding. I would love to see the story of Shepard waking up to a galaxy that is so different and really only has one friend left (or maybe two if EDI survived). And they have to come to grips with a galaxy that has moved on without him not just 2 years worth like me2 or 70 years like Captain America but hundreds of years. This way we can get a whole new adventure with occasional the descendent cameo instead of what could (for me at least) turn into a me2 rehash where you fly around the galaxy find and recruiting familiar faces. The legendary edition could be a great celebration of the old games and send-off for those characters while me 4/5 serves as our introduction into a whole new cast of fun charters, new enemies, and a new look for the galaxy.

This theory is almost like the one I have except for the fact that instead of Shepard being frozen in ice on a planet for 100s of years, after the end of ME3 the Alliance recovered Sheps body and after the Citadel was repaired, which we know was in orbit over Earth, the council had Sheps body cryogenically frozen, along with his squad, and placed in the vault from the Citadel DLC from ME3, the one the clone tried locking Shep in. The council did this so that in case of dire need, Shep would always be available in case all else fails. What better need would there be then the Kett threatening the galaxy?

Shepard dies in the Control and Synthesis ending, because Shepard sacrifices his/her energy to the Crucible. If you use the Crucible to destroy the Reapers while having the Human-Reaper's heart in your war assets (which can only be obtained if you choose to destroy the Collector base in Mass Effect 2), Shepard will live.

The only scenario I can think of where Shepard is still the main character or even a secondary one 600 years after the Reaper War is something like this: 1- Shepard's body is indeed frozen, whether intentionally or found already frozen and taken somewhere (think of Lenin's body that's embalmed). 2- 600 years later, there's yet again a galaxy-wide crisis (maybe involving Andromeda; Kett Empire involded?) 3- It's decided that the only being capable of addressing said crisis is Shepard, thus he's revived a second time. Far fetched indeed but that's one of the only things I can come up with. PS1: embalmed =/= frozen but you get the point PS2: English is not my language forgive me for any mistake haha

How about this: Shepard wakes up from the Harbinger induced vision that was the "Starboy" sequence of ME3's ending, reaches for the actual control panel and pushes the button that engages the crucible/catalyst (shooting a large conduit with a pistol never made a lick of sense as the means of activating the crucible). The pulse kills the reapers and does indeed damage the Citadel & relay network, but not nearly to the extend shown in Shepard's nightmare vision. The vast majority of Citadel inhabitants who are still alive when the pulse is initiated survive, and Shepard & Anderson are found in Citadel Control by Baily and rushed to the hospital & saved by Dr Michel (Mr. Illusive is DOA). The Liara scene from the trailer is Liara surveying a dead reaper on an ice planet where Alliance N7 marines took down a reaper before the pulse, with heavy casualties.

There’s a small chance that the Kett from Andromeda could have sent another ship to the Milky Way some hundreds of years before the events of Mass Effect 3, but it’s not likely. What would be more likely from a writing standpoint is using the Jardaan (creators of the Remnant and Angara from Andromeda) as an antagonist, since little is known about them, and they likely have the technology to travel to the Milky Way in a relatively short period of time. Also, the reasoning behind the creation of the Angara and the remnant is unknown. Perhaps they were to be used as slaves for extra-galactic exploration or conquest. Maybe that is how they appear in Mass Effect 4. The idea of a liberated Angaran as a squad mate is a solid idea. Lot of ideas to pivot from with the Jardaan as the next big bad.

I think it more likely that Shepard will be taking a back seat in the next Mass Effect game, serving more of a mentor capacity, like Captain/Admiral David Anderson or Admiral Steven Hackett. New main character, new 'Normandy', but they find Commander Shepard on life support, threatened by the new menace, and damage to the power system causes Shepard to come out of stasis, but he's only got so long to live. Shepard might even join the new squad, as whatever class he was in the playthrough you link to.

This seems like a sensible plot that is going places. Space Jesus Shepard resurrected, six centuries later, all his/her friends are gone, except one (surely they'll bake in a did you romance Liara yes/no). People Shep interacts with know him/her, if they do at all, as some distant legend. A future timeline clears the decks narratively speaking, giving them more freedom. They could also introduce the descendants of some of the original companions. Setting up some point-to-point relay between Andromeda and the MW also makes sense (that's almost certainly what that concept art relay is), as it will satisfy ME:A fans, and creates more room to explore plot lines, etc. Also sets up some drama/character building as Shep, a man/woman out of time, suddenly has to come to grips with the fact that everyone he knew (bar one) is gone.

Being somewhat connected to andromeda doesn’t necessarily mean it has to take place after the events of MEA. Also it could be possible that the quarian ark leaves after the reaper war and is accompanied by the Normandy. I’m not sure when the scourge shows up, but as I understand it, it’s shortly after the arks began their journey. Since MEA mentions that the Milky Way has a “real-time” time-lag free view into Andromeda thanks to geth technology in dark space, they’d see that the arks are headed into trouble, which would explain why they’d send the Normandy as support. This could mean that the start of the game even takes place in Andromeda, hence the angara but still include Shepard and his crew as they’d all have been in cryo aboard the quarian ark (Maybe with some exceptions, Wrex probably would want to stay on Tuchanka with Eve). Perhaps they then build a mass relay in andromeda and return to the milky way.

just on joining up Andromeda and the Milky Way, the only way it would work is for the Quarian Ark to have found some old Remnant tech that works like the mass relays. The only issue with that is that it would need a lot of setup. You would have to start the game in Andromeda and basically continue it on from there. Ryder goes to find the Quarian Ark and they get transported to the Milky Way. The main problem would be all the stuff they leave behind in Andromeda like the whole Kett storyline. Unless of course in ME5 they find a way to go back to Andromeda to deal with Kett with the help of the Alliance and the Citadel. For a larger overarching plot it works, but still has lots of complications. I personally would like to be able to import Ryder, even if just as an NPC in this setting. But likewise, Shepard's story feels finished at the end of ME3. I do hope we have a new player character in ME4.

The starchild did indicate that it would not be any trouble to rebuild everything quickly. So it doesn't necessarily mean that it's hundreds of years in the future, it could be just a couple decades. In the 'perfect ending' Shepard does take a breath, so what if Shepard has been in a coma this whole time? And one of those images looks like a Drell... Could Kolyat Krios be along for the ride? And the shape you are talking about at the mudskipper, it could be James , he looks bulky enough like that from the back, plus it looks like a mohawk on his head. And the Salarian.. his head thingies looks similar to Capt Kirrahe, who lived in my game.

If Liara was the canon love interest of Shepard, I think the could somewhat bring Shepard back, not as a character, but as the Father/Mother of Liara's child who would be an Asari and therefore easily still alive up to a thousand years later. It would be a nice way to connect to the original trilogy and even make them able to reference Shepard more than a few times without actually having to have him/her actually in the game, except maybe as photos or videos or a letter or something.
