Will Shepard be in Mass Effect 4 Andromeda?

Not as far as we are aware so far. Never say never, but departing from the trilogy and creating this game as a standalone suggests that we will see a new protagonist. A leak has suggested that you will play as a “pathfinder” a kind of trained but unproven explorer. Your name is rumoured to be Ryder and can again be played as male or female.
