Ex-BioWare designer says doom and gloom about the next Mass Effect is overstated: 'I think that they can do it'
"I think BioWare can do it if we just leave them alone to do what they do best."
Next Mass Effect
BioWare's next Mass Effect remains in active development for PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, though the studio has maintained relative silence about the project's specifics. The sci-fi action-RPG is expected to continue the franchise's legacy of narrative-driven space exploration and character-focused storytelling.
Recent industry discussion has centered less on official updates and more on skepticism surrounding the game's future. With EA now under new ownership, observers have raised questions about whether the project will actually reach completion, citing how easily corporate restructuring can result in cancellations. Meanwhile, competitor titles like The Expanse: Osiris Reborn and Exodus are positioning themselves to fill the gap left by Mass Effect's dormancy, with some coverage suggesting they may better capture what players valued about the original series.
