The latest Mass Effect teaser trailer is actually a throwback to one of the series' original title pitches.
On November 7, aka N7 Day for Mass Effect fans, developerBioWareshared a vague message with fans that was actually full of binary numbers. This message ended up revealing theMass Effect Epsilon teaser video- which features an even more mysterious 30-second video. The jury’s still out on what exactly BioWare is trying to tell Mass Effect fans, but one thing that has been discovered by fans is that this isn’t the first time we’ve seen the word ‘Epsilon’.
Alongside names like ‘Element’, ‘The Oculon’, ‘Element Zero’, ‘Unearthed’, and many more, you’ll find the name ‘The Epsilon Effect’. Again, this doesn’t really tell us much but it’s interesting that BioWare has brought the word back into conversation over 25 years after it originally pitched it.
To add to the speculation, it’s probably not a coincidence that Epsilon just so happens to be the fifth letter of the Greek alphabet. This has led fans to theorize that BioWare could be bringing back ‘The Epsilon Effect’ for its next game in the series,Mass Effect 5. It could even be a huge hint to the upcoming game’s title, perhaps Mass Effect: Epsilon is the name we’ve been waiting to hear from the developer.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
