A single, fairly innocent tweet from a developer working on the next Mass Effect has prompted further speculation about the still mysterious project.

Chris Evans, character technology director at Epic Games, posted on Twitter (via IGN) asking, "Anyone creating games with #MetaHumans in #UE5? What are some challenges you would like us to tackle in future releases?" Michael Gamble, project director on the next Mass Effect, replied with a GIF of a Salarian from the ME3 DLC Citadel.

It's difficult to glean any particular details about the future game from this exchange. It was already confirmed that Mass Effect 5 would use Unreal Engine, so it's not much of a stretch to conclude that the game will incorporate the engine's MetaHumans tech.
