BioWare is teasing the new Mass Effect for N7 Day, and I really wish they'd just tell us what's going on

pcgamer.com:

N 7 Day, the annual celebration of all things Mass Effect, is one again upon us, and BioWare is once again teasing the next Mass Effect with codes, encryption, and video clips—but whether or not we'll get any insight into what's actually coming in the next game remains to be seen.

The whole thing started with a message salted into the BioWare's N7 Day announcement: A series of 0s and 1s that fans on Reddit quickly translated into «Epsilon.» That led to a site with a countdown, which eventually opened up to a small "Access code: Epsilon" site containing a mysterious tease about an encrypted distress signal from Andromeda.

That's interesting. BioWare has previously indicated that the next Mass Effect won't be a direct sequel to either Andromeda or the original trilogy, but also that there will be some connection with both of them.

At first blush, there's not much more to see. The bit about «they should know by now not to underestimate human [redacted],» for instance, is a direct lift from last year's hidden message, spoken by Liara T'Soni—and unless something has changed, that redacted word is «defiance.» That also sure looks like Liara striding purposefully in the five-second video clip embedded in the site.

Fans on Reddit immediately started digging into the teaser site, however, and have already uncovered more. The VJBSVU segment has been translated to «Oculon,» which like Epsilon was a pre-release concept name for Mass Effect, and discovered a date, 2819, the year the Arks arrived in the Heleus Cluster in Mass Effect: Andromeda. 

And from there we have a secondary site revealing an access code, Oculon-2819-Defiance, and another brief video clip:
