Mass Effect fans have bought a #SaveMassEffect billboard in Times Square after EA shut down BioWare last week, but the fight to save the sci-fi RPG franchise isn't stopping there.
Whether New York City residents are familiar with Commander Shepard's fight against the Reapers or not, everyone in Times Square was alerted to #SaveMassEffect when its billboard went up today. It's the latest in a string of moves from the community backing the sci-fi RPG franchise and its developers as they work to give them a second wind.
"Keelah si'yah," text on the billboard said. It's a reference to the in-universe language of Khelish, which is spoken by the Quarian species. According to the Mass Effect Wiki, the line specifically translates to "by the homeworld I hope to find one day."

Those supporting #SaveMassEffect come from all over, but the billboard featured in Times Square on this late-October day came from a smaller group known as We Are Mass Effect, a community dedicated to paying tribute to the franchise started in summer 2025 by a 27-year-old in Spain named Ariel Peña Aguilar . He, along with his second-in-command, Mer , as well as X/Twitter user Kala Elizabeth , sought to publish the billboard in hopes of drawing attention to their cause.
