Some images from Anthem might bring tears of nostalgia to Mass Effect fans. It seems that skins of the ME aliens are coming soon! The armor looks so good that it almost hurts how mediocre Anthem is currently performing.
Days ago, data miners posted their findings in the Anthem subreddit, as new armor sets have surfaced in the game files. Especially fans of the Mass Effect series will immediately recognize the armors, as they visually correspond to the appearances of the various alien races from Mass Effect, which one could have in their team in almost all installments of the series.
What is visible in the images? The images show a skin for all four Javelins, namely Interceptor, Storm, Ranger, and Colossus. Depending on the Javelin, there is a different visual adaptation to the respective alien race from Mass Effect.
The Interceptor takes on the appearance of a Quarian. In Mass Effect, this is a race of nomads that must wear protective suits because they quickly become infected with diseases.
The Storm can take on the likeness of an Asari. This is a race that is attractive to all races, purely female, and relies on powerful biotic abilities – similar to how the Storm uses its skills. However, the femininity does not quite come across with this skin.
The Ranger gets the armor of a Turian, a race with a strong sense of justice and numerous specialists. Since Turians are also almost always heavily armored in Mass Effect, the outfit fits almost perfectly.
The Colossus can dress like a Krogan in the future. These aliens are rough, brutal, and were particularly favored as front-line fighters. Since they are also almost always heavily armored in Mass Effect and have a massive head, it fits well with the bulky Colossus.
When are these skins coming? Whether these skins or armor packages will actually come is still unclear. However, a likely date would be November 7th.
This is the “N7 Day” for Mass Effect, named after an elite unit in the game’s universe. This would be almost the perfect time to distribute such a small Mass Effect treat to Anthem fans. However, it is also possible that these armors will simply end up in the shop.
Why do these armors hurt a little? The armors look so good and contain so much love that one wishes more were happening in Anthem at the moment.
The sets remind us of the potential that lies in the “Anthem” brand and in BioWare.
Would you be happy about these armors? Or do the Javelins look too silly with them and don’t fit into Anthem?
