Bioware Has Already Confirmed Shepard Survived Mass Effect 3...

Bioware already confirmed that Shepard survived Mass Effect 3 & might return in Mass Effect 4 or 5...10 years ago. Color me surprised, as one Bioware employee gave a detailed breakdown on the Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut DLC (way before Mass Effect Legendary Edition). This raises the possibility that Shepard could make a return in Mass Effect 4 (if we're lucky).

I gotta admit, this was as big of a shocker to me as many others as I had no idea that this post existed before

[frostburn]

Shepard will always be alive, either in perfect ending or in our hearts.

[janeshepard]

Gamers : did he survive?

BioWare : He ducked

[classicslayer]

Hoping there's no issues with development and the story is good, I want this game to give Shepard the happy ending they deserve.

[WEAREKJD]

Shepard is like Master Chief, the series needs them.

The farewells of Liara, Tali and Garrus are one of the saddest moments in the trilogy

[kimura-yudai]

I'm still firmly in the camp that Legendary Edition was released to make the ME3 saves compatible with ME4 for importation. I'm fully expecting (hoping) to see ME4 just added to the right of ME3 in the launcher on release day!

This is Shepherd's "one more story". But if I am being honest. I am a scared for the series. I hope that they get it right but I won't be pre-ordering anytime soon.

Shepard and Tali in another game is the only way I’d ever preorder. 😅

I hope Shep and the old crew get one more adventure. Give everyone closure, maybe a happy ending, that lets us and the universe move forward with new casts without Shep being this elephant in the room.

[spicynips]

If shep is the playable character, and Tali isnt in this game, I refuse to romance anyone.

I'd love Shepherd to be back, but honestly I’d settle for an Admiral Shepherd filling the role of Hacket for the next generation. As long as it wasn’t a bit part, I’d still be happy.

This just makes Shepard's return more and more likely, even though we cannot say for sure whether they'll actually return. We can only hope :) Great video as always!

[peizz]

Shepard is the magic word for Mass effect, I clicked so fast on your video when I saw this

[Noschool]

It also still amazes me that bioware and their infinite wisdom was like, this is the end of a trilogy how do we cap off the protagonist story? "oh let's do a fucking 5 second postcredit scene of them taking a breath With no explanation, no context, and no follow up"

[JUPTER.]

i never used to understand people who desperately want shep to come back in me4. for the longest time, i found myself angry at the thought, because i felt like shepard's death is the ultimate conclusion to the trilogy, and should open up the franchise for further expansion. i'm still angry at ea and bioware for not finishing andromeda and giving us what was promised, but now that i've completed my most recent playthrough of the trilogy and seen it through more mature eyes, i now understand wanting shep back. i want shep back too. there's no shepard without vakarian :( i just want closure to the series, *all* of the stories in the series.

[fangwarden]

I’m not ready to let my Shep+Garrus die! I need more, I need to see their adopted babies 😭
(The perfect ending is the only thing that made me not hate the end)

[rubberdown]

I always thought Shepherd lived, after watching the cut scene at the end, of buzz telling the story of Shepherd to the child.
After recounting his adventures of mass effect 1, 2 & 3, the child asked for another story, so to me that implied there was more of his life to tell after defeating the reapers.
Also I don't see why destroy wouldn't be the canon ending, as that was the goal of Shepherd afterall.

[Ironed-Silver]

I do want my Shepard to survive and for him to build a home with Tali on Rannoch.
But that's where I want it to end. I want Shepard and Tali to live happily ever after. Now I want Bioware to give a new hero the spotlight.
By far the best aspect of Mass Effect is the Galaxy they built and the characters that inhabit it.
By all means, you can mention Shepard and maybe give a clue as to how their lives went post Reapers. But now it's time to pass the torch and give us the opportunity to fall in love all over again with a new generation.

[ExelArts]

I better be playing as Shepard next game

[AndreasEvgenikos]

We can always hope that we will get that ending eventually and settle with Tali in that house in Rannoch
