However, during the E3 teaser, a glimpse of a humanoid soldier wearing N7 armor and a Krogan standing to some sort of kiosk could be seen.
Furthermore, the website said that the upcoming game will likely share a lot of the core features with Dragon Age: Inquisition. BioWare will also create ME3 using Frostbite engine, along with other forthcoming games that are in the lineup.
Associate producer Mike Gamble, though still not confirmed, hinted during the event that previous Mass Effect save files can be used in the new installment.
It was also shown during the San Diego Comic-Con that there will be a cooperative/multiplayer option and Mako rovers will return cannon-less but with a much faster speed and sleeker design.
As with the development, studio director Yanick Roy goes into record that the game is already in its "middle" stages of development.
He also suggested in the firm's official forum that design works began approximately 18 months ago and that according to estimations, it would take the developers another 18 months to finish the game and make it available in stores around October 2015.
However, any official release statements are still on its TBA status since BioWare's Community Manager Chris Priestly himself don't have the concrete idea on when it will come out.
