The VGutopia staff answer the question "Should Mass Effect 4 be a sequel or a prequel?"
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.

Game Rant Writes "Canonicity can be a tricky nut to crack in franchises with continuing narratives, and that's something Mass Effect 4 will need to contend with."
wow gamerant forgot mass effect 4 came out years ago number 6 and 7 were cancelled.
The new mass effect which can be called number 5 will not have any of your choices why you might ask?
Well dragon age keep were your choices from number one can been seen in number 3 got unplugged from number one and number 2 is finicky.
Dragon age on pc requires a mod to get past the server login and non of your choices get uploaded to the keep even the dlc no longer works sense it needs a server check.
On xbox i teseted this only though local saves i was able to transfer choices from one to too but 0 of one dlc would work.
So if the more popular dragon age series is in this state why would they care about your mass effect choices?
Oh and that remaster that was tossed out still has day one issues and number 3 is still hard to play on pc do to lighting issues and ram limits imposed from 2014.
My expectations for the next bioware 2.0 titles is very low.
Neither, it just needs to go away. Their just going to keep digging that hole deeper until every last bit of what made ME good is gone. (Assuming you aren't like me, in which case its already long gone.)
New IP would be a better way to go IMO.
Unless it's like ME1 (the best in the series), then neither. But in all seriousness, I don't see where they can go with the series anymore. It's over.
They could make a spin-off story that is set during the events of the ME series, adapting the story depending on choices made by Shep. Of course, the game would feature a new protagonist - for this, I could imagine you picking a race, class and origin akin to Dragon Age Origins.
The game would let you perceive the most significant events that unfold in the wake of Shep's many decisions, through the eyes of one of the implicated races. Imagine playing as a Krogan, struggeling to find a cure for the genophage, or a Salarian trying to prevent this.
Or as a Quarian on his/her pilgrimage amidst all that is going on, a geth who gains a conscience or even a Batarian witnessing his entire system being wiped out.
The game could lead you into an "N7" crew akin to those of ME3's Multiplayer - having you scour the galaxy, rescueing survivors from the Reaper / Collector invasions.
It would be a character/story centric game based on the events made by the players in the original games - the backdrop story, of course, being the main ME storyline, but the "little" story of the individual amidst the turmoil imo, would be just as (if not more) interesting.
There is no shortage of stories to tell
Brilliant. Go work for Bioware and make it happen.
Sequel with Liara and Garrus as heads of the Mass Effect squadmates trying to keep on with Shep's "legacy"
