Mass Effect 5 teaser trailer
And a fascinating trailer on where we go next (though it could be some while).

With the voiceovers suggesting Humanity's first contact and the character at the end picking up an N7 badge, it gives me the impression they're abandoning Andromeda and going back to the Milky Way, possibly even a prequel. Just speculation but definitely not what I would want (though plenty of the fanboys would).
Agreed.

The "character at the end picking up an N7 badge" is without a doubt Liara.
And that they showed both galaxies at the beginning, and as Fred mentioned destroyed Mass relays, basically rules out a prequel.
While Liara was my first thought, and it's highly likely, I wouldn't say beyond a doubt. Even not being a prequel, it sure seems like it's going back to the Milky Way. Guessing all those choices we made are going to be erased for a canon ending.
Well, it is pretty obvious, don't you think? They need a link between the games, and Liara always was that link, starting in the Trilogy. 🙂
Also Michael Gamble called the first shot of the trailer with both, the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxies visible, "intentional!". So it might be that we will be in both galaxies.I kind of took it as Andromeda being in the background and Milky Way at the forefront as they're moving back from Andromeda to the Milky Way. I hope I'm wrong because I want the Andromeda storyline to continue.

Personally I think it being Liara is utterly beyond doubt.
I'm not convinced that any ending will be canonised, but we'll know in a few years. 🙂
