Rumor: New Mass Effect Is Mass Effect: Contact

Sometimes a name, especially a subtitle, doesn’t have a whole lot of specific meaning to a game. It’s just a nifty title. But sometimes you can infer a lot from a subtitle. And if the subtitle of the latestMass Effectgame is true, that could indicate a lot about the game’s setting.

We already know it won’t officially beMass Effect 4. Noted industry insider Ashan Rasheed tweeted that it would be titled “Mass Effect: _ _nt_ _t”.

Dualshockers thinks the only thing it could reasonably beisMass Effect: Contact. And, as they point out, “Contact” may have pretty special meaning in theMass Effectuniverse.

“Contact” most likely refers to theFirst Contact War, which might be a pretty cool era to set aMass Effectgame in. And of course being a prequel, it would very neatly side-step any of the lingering questions of what final impactMass Effect 3had on the Mass Effect universe.

Of course, “Contact” could also refer to contact with some new mysterious enemy race, basically the next big antagonists in theMass Effect series, which might also be very interesting. Either way, this is really making me hope that at least the rumors of the nextMass Effect, whatever it is called, is at E3 so we can finally get some answers.

What do you think Gamesided readers? Would you be interested in aMass Effectprequel that takes place during the First Contact War? Or would you prefer some entirely new and original story? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
