Mass Effect 5 is in very early development

It looks like Bioware is working on another Mass Effect under Michael Gamble, who is a project director at Bioware. The game is in very early development, as Bioware is already working on the Dragon Age 4 and the recently announced overhauled Anthem.

Bioware went through a rough patch these last few years and unfortunately no patch was able to fix it. Nonetheless, even if their latest game is a complete disaster, they seem to be pushing forward.

Personally, I have very little faith in Bioware and EA in general. I think it might prove difficult for them to get back on their feet after Anthem. Maybe if Dragon Age 4 is actually great, because it’s been a while since we had an awesome epic RPG experience.

There is no information on the release date, since Bioware have not officially confirmed anything at this point.

Thanks Kotaku.

  1. “Where do you want Mass Effect to go in the future?”
    Away from multyplayer, lootboxes and microtransactions would be a good start.

    1. the tweet has actually generated a lot of buzz.
      a majority of Mass effect fans want the Story of Andromeda to continue.
      considering Shepard’s story and the base trilogy was long finished.

      I would definitely love to play a new ME game. with next gen graphics for sure.

    2. MP and LBs are easily avoidable, even if they’re here, but SJW stuff is going to be there without any doubt, and you can’t avoid it. I think the SJW stuff is already done and perhaps part of the engine programming lol, it’s in the devs DNA, they acting like they want feedback, but if you speak about that you’ll be considered uneducated and nazi and caveman, ME is over.

  2. As long it’s not a live service game focused on multiplayer with lootboxes and microtransactions I’ll be happy.

  3. I will happy if that meens a lot Better Andromeda follow-up or spin of before Trylogy. But if that means direct sequel to Trylogy then f*ck that noise.

  4. Let it rest, Mass Effect is from a different era in gaming. It doesnt belong in todays world of modern politics and multiplayer.

    1. neither did assasin creed odyssey or rage 2 or wolfenstein and look what they did to them.

      THEY MASSACRED MY POOR BOYS

  5. “Where do you want Mass Effect to go in the future?”
    The trash, where it belongs along with Bioware and Dragon Age, all their original staff and talent is gone, the company is nothing but EA Yes Mans and cherrypicked interns straight out of college.

    1. Isn’t ironic how EA killed plenty of good studios yet they make the cancerous one linger on? I’m anti capitalist now thanks in part to EA…

      1. Because the name Bioware still has a following despite all of the people there who made that studio great having been gone a long time ago.
        It’s essentially a brand.
        The issue here isn’ capitalism, it’s the Corporate and Consumerist brand of the ideology usually associated with the USA and that has spread to much of the World.

  6. Mass Effect 5 is *REPORTEDLY* in development. Don’t report on speculation as if it were fact. It probably is being developed but it has not been confirmed

  7. Let it rest in peace. It’s a fine memory of a better time. Don’t ressurect it as some half-ass, modern Bioware EA abomination.
