Mass Effect 3 brings the Citadel back to prominence after its role diminished to a merchant and loyalty-mission hub in Mass Effect 2.
"There was a Mass Effect 2 plot that was a kind of callback to the first Mass Effect that was going to be on the Citadel, and we cut it," said Mass Effect 3's lead writer Mac Walters. "But now it's made a resurrection in Mass Effect 3, so I'm happy, but I can't say what it is."
Will the long elevators and blank white atmosphere return from the original Mass Effect? We can't be sure, but we'll find out soon enough--Mass Effect 3 releases March 6, 2012.
