BioWare Reaffirms Next Mass Effect Is in Development on N7 Day

The studio describes an exclusive focus on the RPG as an Amazon-backed series progresses, with no release details.

Overview

  • Executive producer Mike Gamble said the next Mass Effect is in development and that EA and BioWare remain committed to the franchise.
  • He added that the team is heads-down and focused exclusively on Mass Effect, noting plenty of universe, features and romances still to build.
  • BioWare said the Amazon partnership for a Mass Effect TV series is moving forward, with a writers room active and a new story set after the original trilogy that does not retell Commander Shepard’s arc.
  • No release window, platforms, screenshots, trailers or gameplay were provided for the game.
  • The reassurance arrives as reports point to a potential EA buyout by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and private equity firms, with some longtime BioWare staff expressing concern about the studio’s future direction.
