One of the many great aspects of Arcane is its intro sequence, which features some gorgeous statues of the show’s cast. As viewers take in the visuals, the Imagine Dragons song “Enemy” plays in the background. With a popular track and a beautiful set of opening credits, many edited versions of the sequence have been posted online. The latest comes from Reddit user ZeoNyph, and it incorporates their username, BioWare, and EA into the list of credits. However, the statues are the real stars of the intro.
These statues take on the same poses as Arcane’s characters, with the first pair of sculptures showing Liara and Shepard standing back to back. Zaeed is seen holding up a crystal, while Tali reads a book. Garrus is an excellent stand-in for Caitlyn, as he looks great taking on her pose and holding his signature sniper rifle. Captain Anderson makes an appearance, as does the beloved Geth Legion. As the video continues, more Mass Effect characters appear, with a large portion of the cast represented by the time it ends.
At the end of the animation, Shepard is seen using her Omni-Tool during a fight with Saren, the antagonist from the original game. The logo then appears, with ZeoNyph perfectly recreating every aspect of Arcane’s intro sequence. It is clear that a lot of effort went into this project, so it is no surprise that the Mass Effect community has been showering the animator with praise. Alongside over 3,000 upvotes, commenters shared how much they loved the edit and encouraged other Mass Effect fans to watch Arcane.
Though Mass Effect’s version of the Milky Way and the region of Zaun are very different, it is nice to see an ambitious crossover like this working so well. While it remains to be seen if a Mass Effect show ever becomes a reality, an official intro that resembles Arcane’s would be nice to see if it happens.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
