So we’ve known for a while that Bioware were not going to leave the Mass Effect series behind and at the San Diego Comic Con this was confirmed with a panel, only some of the information from that panel has been leaked and we have seen the main character’s basic armour. It looks like Bioware wanted to make the armour realistic with soft under-armour and a hard outer carapace designed for exploration and maximum agility.

The armour looks solid and it looks like a type of armour that could be built by humans in the near future and it seems to fit the aesthetic and feel of the series past and future. Another treat that came out of SDCC… the Mako is back with a brand new look and feel, for veterans of the series the Mako is a well-loved exploration device from early in the series which was clunky but very fun to use with jet jumping and a lovely big cannon.

So it looks like Bioware has learned its lessons from Mass Effect 3 and is bringing us a game that is about the exploration and freedom of Mass Effect 1, I for one will be watching this very closely in the hopes that this will be their return to form!
