“ and new worlds to explore!” was tweeted by gameplay designer Manveer Heir. The next picture isn’t huge on the details, but we can at least determine facts about the setting. Does it have anything to do with the Reapers? Given the new game will reference nothing from past games, and given the fact the Reaper war is over, I’d say the chance of it being anything of Reaper origin is unlikely. It even resembles a Reaper spire artifact as seen in previous games in the original trilogy. Fungi-like in nature, it spirals upward in an almost insectoid manner. What does captures the eye right away in the larger part of the image is the tall structure in the center. It could very well just be another marine. It might be my imagination, but it almost looks like there’s an arch in the neck, with the arms clenched as if it were some form of zombie creature. Notice the blue silhouette on his/her back? A little reminiscent of human husks wouldn’t you say? The character’s walk also seems strange compared to the two in front. However, something stands out with the one in the back. The two in the front appear to be soldiers of some kind walking in water. You can see human figures walking near the bottom. Obviously another piece of concept art, we can use it to deduce some more snippets of information. “ with new characters to fall in love with…”, it reads. Sent out by our good chap Yanick Roy, it shows a developer working on some interesting concepts. Could it possibly be one of the new planets we’ll get to land on in the new game? Peering out to the horizon, we see a dreary brown desert landscape, complete with dunes and hills. We can see a humanoid character standing in the center of the screen on what looks to be a command center or holodeck-like room. So what of the left? It becomes clear that the picture is in fact concept art, a desktop wallpaper. What seems apparent to me is that he is looking at the screen on the right, however, the image is cut off just enough to the point of obscurity. We should note at the moment of publication of the tweet, the PC drivers for the Xbox One controller weren’t quite ready yet, and the 360 controller is the default when testing on PC units. First thing’s first, what’s that in his hands? An Xbox 360 controller eh? Obviously our first thought would be to assume the game would at least be released on the Xbox 360 right? Not quite.
