The trailer begins with a nice expansive view of some planet within the game’s solar system, with what seems to be a log from the Normandy, Shepard’s ship from the first game. The log notes Shepard’s credentials, as well as listing companions from the prequel. It then transitions to the first human Spectre’s status, which is stated simply as “Killed In Action,” with an unknown extraterrestrial revealing itself right before the end of the video.

Now obviously, Commander Shepard can’t possibly be dead, for he is once again the game’s protagonist, as well as the known connectivity with the series’ first installment. This does allow for very deep story progressing, offering vast amount of plot possibilities. Is the final shot of the teaser somehow connected to the reapers? Or is it a new threat to the Council (or the Systems Alliance, depending on how you ended the first game)? Will there be more lesbian sex? Will Seth Green be back? Too bad we’re not going to find out until probably the 2010 holiday rush, considering that BioWare has Dragon Age: Origins set for release sometime during the second half of 2009.

But they’ve done well with this teaser; gamers around the world have been left with significant blue-ballage. I know I’m sweatin’ for more Mass Effect greatness, and I think I may just give the ol’ girl another go.
