A gamer has spotted a car in the wild based entirely onMass Effect’s Normandy. It’s unknown if theNormandy will return forMass Effect 4, but right now fans can enjoy this homage to BioWare’s classic RPG.
TheMass Effectfranchise is one of the most popular science-fiction series of all time, with the original trilogy being a trailblazer in having decisions truly matter in an RPG. While it faced criticism over its ending, that hasn’t stopped fans from paying homage to the franchise in some remarkably creative ways over the years. OneMass Effectfan even created custom Garrus and Wrex LEGO figuresto display in their home.

The car was noticed by Reddit user Allthethrowingknives, who came across the Honda car while out and about in Denver. It also features aMass Effect-based design, with sleek grey and blue colors evoking the games and the classic ship. The license plate is even down as “SHEPARD.” There’s no doubt that this car could only belong to one of the biggestMass Effectfans on the planet.
In the thread, users had many questions, mainly about how much the vehicle could have cost. One gamer who claims to do vehicle wraps explained that something like this would likely cost around $2400 to complete, which is definitely dedication toMass Effect. Another user pointed out a funny detail that could have some interesting implications -Mass Effect’s Normandygets destroyed beyond repair at the beginning ofMass Effect 2, leading to the construction of the Normandy SR2. The decals on this car imply that this is based on the Normandy SR2, suggesting there could have been anotherMass Effectcar that was previously totaled.
Fans of the franchise are extremely excited about the future ofMass Effect. For a while, it seemed as thoughMass Effect: Andromedahad damaged the franchise’s reputation beyond repair. However, thesuccess ofMass Effect: Legendary Editionseemed to remind BioWare of how beloved the original trilogy is, prompting the developer to begin work onMass Effect 4. Very little is known about the game currently, and fans' speculation is rampant about the route the story will take. A series of teaser trailers released in the past couple of years has confirmed the return of fan-favorite character Liara, but beyond that nothing is confirmed.
Mass Effect: Legendary Editionis available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
