Mere days after confirming that Tali would be returning in Mass Effect 2, BioWare has announced another NPC companion. A new trailer introduces us to Samara.

Samara is an asari, that monogender race that Liara from ME1 belonged to. Perhaps that means that Samara will be a potential love interest for both female and male PC's like Liara? Her low-cut jumpsuit seems to suggest such. Even if you don't get to jump her blue bones, you'll want her help because she's a powerful biotics user.

Mass Effect 2 arrives at the end of January. Five more companions will be revealed between now and then.
