With a focus on choices and creating your own narrative, it probably doesn’t surprise anyone that Shepard doesn’t show up in the stories told outside the games. In the three game, the fate of the universe is at stake and it’s your job as Shepard to save the galaxy. The Mass Effect trilogy – surprisingly consisting of Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 – focuses on one character: your Shepard. Maya Brooks, a character that makes her videogame debut in Mass Effect 3’s Citadel DLC, also play an important role in the comics. The comics tell us more about Kaiden Alenko, Ashley Williams, Urdnot Wrex, Mordin Solus, Kasumi Goto, and Jeff “Joker” Moreau. In the first comics, we see a lot of Shepard’s future team. Revelation also introduces us to Kahlee Sanders, a character that has a prominent role in the four books that take place during the Mass Effect trilogy. In the first book, Mass Effect: Revelation, we follow a younger David Anderson, one of Shepard’s confidants in the Mass Effect trilogy. That’s not the only story the Mass Effect prequels tell us however. In Mass Effect: Evolution we see an almost immediate conflict with the Turians, who enlighten humanity on a couple rules they weren’t aware off: activating a dormant Mass Relay without permission is very much forbidden. Humanity’s first travels didn’t go over too well. The main focus of Mass Effect is humanity and they were somewhat late to the “we can travel through our galaxy at insane speeds now” party, discovering the means of Mass Effect travel in 2148.
While a vast majority of the Mass Effect media doesn’t mind an interesting tidbit about its history here and there – like the existence of the ancient Leviathans and the decimated Inussanon – we don’t jump back too far in time when it comes to more expansive stories. But thanks to the prequels and Andromeda Initiative categories, we also have a clear overview of all the stories that take place before the videogame adventures of our two protagonists. In both cases, there’s a focus on the stories that take place during their games. The focus in this timeline is on the two main characters we control in the games: Shepard and Ryder. Because era’s in Mass Effect aren’t as defined as in some other games (read: Assassin’s Creed), we decided to take a slightly different approach with Mass Effect. With all mainline games out of the way, it’s time to throw all other Mass Effect media in our Mass Effect timeline. This entry was last updated in September 2021. This game takes place during the events of Mass Effect Andromeda. Also available as part of the Mass Effect Trilogy and of the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. This game takes place during the events of the Mass Effect trilogy.
