Can't unsee it either now as well. And if this is actually a hint instead of a coincidence, then I am deeply disappointed. We've had the organic-synthetic-conflict angle already. Can we try something new for a start? Thank you very much. Also, continue Andromeda please. Despite it's flaws, it was an interesting premise and still is.

Well, we don't know what the focus of the next game will be at this point, all we know is that it takes place after the original Trilogy and that the Destroy Ending is likely going to be the canon ending. This may just be hinting that the Geth will return having found a way to survive the Space Magic from ME3 either by being shielded from it or some of them might have been out of range of it when it went off. Or that the residents of the Galaxy is trying to find a means to bring the Geth back to help them combat a new threat or are that this is a threat the Geth know of and we're trying to find a way to recover that data.

I agree that I don't want the Synthetic vs. Organic shtick to return and the fact that this poster gives off a almost horror vibe isn't something that fills me with excitement (especially after everything I went through to makes peace between the Quarians and the Geth) but marketing often lies so I'll keep an open mind.
Also, continue Andromeda please. Despite it's flaws, it was an interesting premise and still is.
It's actually been hinted that they are going to do so with Andromeda being featured in the first trailer, some concept art of what looks like Angaras that BioWare has either released or was leaked before the first trailer was released (I think we can even see one in this very poster). And the developers for this game hinting that MEA will also be followed up on in the upcoming game.

Even though I'm not a fan of MEA I will say that I do like that BioWare isn't just writing off the game as thinking it over it would be a shame to waste an entire galaxy of potential (quite literally here). Having to build the foundation for a game via two of BioWare's least popular stories is a big risk and I do like it when a series tries to work with what it has instead of just ignoring what came before because that would be easier.

It would also allow BioWare to work around many of the Trilogy's choices by having things like killing the Krogan, saving the Krogan, killing the Geth, siding with the Geth, making peace with the Geth and Quarians call still happen the Krogan, Quarians and Geth from Andromeda reactions is just a great idea. You get to keep these races around while still feeling the fallout of those choices.
