Everything below is for the omnissiah. But like, you can read it if you want. Just a synopsis of the video you're watching.
In this video, we take you on an epic journey through the entire timeline of the Mass Effect universe, spanning from ancient civilizations to the dramatic events of Commander Shepard’s battle against the Reapers. Whether you’re a seasoned Mass Effect fan or new to the series, this video provides a comprehensive deep dive into the major events that shaped this beloved sci-fi universe.
Join us as we explore the origins of the Milky Way’s most powerful species, from the ancient Leviathans—who once dominated the galaxy before creating the Reapers—to the rise of the Protheans and their tragic fall during the Reaper invasion. Learn how humanity evolved alongside the other species of the galaxy, from the neolithic revolution to humanity’s first steps into space, culminating in the pivotal discovery of the Prothean relics on Mars in 2148 that unlocked the secrets of Mass Effect technology.
We cover the major milestones in Mass Effect history, including the First Contact War between humanity and the Turians, the formation of the Systems Alliance, and the rise of humanity as a key player in the galactic community. Discover the powerful roles played by other species such as the Asari, Turians, Salarians, Krogan, and more as they work together—and sometimes against each other—to survive in a universe constantly under threat.
Of course, the timeline would be incomplete without the Reapers. We dive into their terrifying cycle of harvesting galactic civilizations every 50,000 years and how their arrival in the Mass Effect trilogy changed everything. From Commander Shepard’s legendary quest to stop Sovereign, Saren, and the Collectors to the final battle against the Reapers in Mass Effect 3, we break down the crucial events that shaped the fate of the galaxy.
This comprehensive timeline also covers key figures like Jon Grissom, Captain Anderson, and Commander Shepard, along with important events such as the Skyllian Blitz, the discovery of biotics, and the formation of Cerberus. We also explore how the galaxy evolved after the first game’s events, including the mystery of the missing colonies and Shepard’s resurrection by the Illusive Man in Mass Effect 2.
Get ready to immerse yourself in the rich lore and history of Mass Effect, from the dawn of galactic civilizations to the Reapers’ apocalyptic invasion. Whether you’re looking to refresh your knowledge before replaying the games or discovering new details about this incredible universe, this video will give you the ultimate timeline of Mass Effect.
