They're saving it for
Mass Effect IV: The Phantom Menace, where, after you and a team of four friends are finishing taking out the batarian space sub poised to launch sterility missiles given them by the Leviathan race and have a fantastic getaway on space surfboards, a radio call comes in from a mysterious British operative (
the last British person alive after the Reaper War) that knows where a "valuable war asset" (
a clever wink and callback to all those who played ME3) can be found.
From there, after you play 1300 hrs of MP for a random special battle pack, you can unlock (
for only an additional 1200 EA points - there is no Bioware at this point, having been folded into an "corporate game consultant division") the "anti-stasis gun", which does nothing of anything, but looks cool and can be painted different cool battle colours.
After many daring quicktime events, you finally make your way up a mountain, battle wave after wave of Mirandaized banshees (
with enormous hind-ends that release explosive prothean babies when shot), you find the burnt and battered chunk of Citadel that, (
after a 4 dollar DLC that adds two new outfits and the fabulous handheld SPACE TORCH LIGHT SOURCE) can be searched to find the cool (
a further DLC for 5 dollars) new character called the MAD KEEPER, only one left of its kind who has kept itself alive on the last surviving Citadel Twinkie store and 21st Century television transmissions.
After a non-interruptible 15 minute cutscene (
that is also the checkpoint you restart from if you die) where the Mad Keeper makes hilarious Honey Boo Boo references that also deep and mysterious, you have to battle it - Kratos-like, as it suddenly grows to enormous size and fires red, blue and green fire (
another wink-wink moment) until, after two further DLC packs containing more cool outfits and the KEEPER GLUE GUN - allows you to defeat the mad one and finally gain your prize!
The in-stasis body of Commander Shepard! (
You have to have kept your saves from ME3 or else it's just random genitalia they will later regrow vanilla Shepard from).
In an "edgy and suprise twist", Shepard will say how much all the effort you made for him/her was awesome, and that new adventures await for "you and your four friends", before the dubstep-like homage music "An End Once and For All" plays and Shepard explodes into a rainbow and gently dissipates on the wind calling Liara's name.
Your team then finds a big cache of guns and you go on to defeat Indoctrinated Space Makarov once and for all.
Two sequels then follow that are pretty much exactly the same thing.
