15. Does EDI survive the destroy ending?: Edi survives in two of the three endings of Mass Effect 3, however, all the Mass Effect 4 teasers so far seem to imply that Mass Effect 3’s Destroy ending, the one in which Edi supposedly dies, will be the canon conclusion of the trilogy and starting place of the next game.
