BioWare confirms a new Mass Effect in development and Mass Effect: Legendary Edition details, Spring 2021 on Xbox One, Series X|S, PC, PS4 & PS5
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
There are two choices
-Prequel, probably during or shortly after the First Contact War.
-Sequel, so far in the future that events from previous games are just "legends". Think BOTW.
i think the reason for hesitation is it wasn't clear who could be making it, and also that we've gone 6 years without a dragon age game.
I was thinking the same thing. They've hinted at it a couple times.
FUCK YEAH! New mass effect! Hopefully they give it real time and effort instead of sending it to die like andromeda.
I wanna be cautious optimistic but let's face it, I managed to even enjoy Andromeda so I'm gonna be hyped :P
Good to finally here official word on ME trilogy. Hopefully it's a well done remaster.
"New ME" is whatever until we have solid gameplay, so in 3-4 years probably.

Absolutely not. The way 3 ended killed that universe for me even before Andromeda came out.
The official announcement hasnt occured right?
Hopefully we can see some images espcially of ME1. Want to see what QOL improvements have happened both graphically and mechanically.
Super excited though. Lets hope they dont fuck up the new one

With the poor reception of Andromeda, wouldn't a safer choice be a "4" with the return of the Shepard character?

Because
Mass Effect: Andromeda was a financial success
EA have just released their latest earnings report and it seems like Mass Effect: Andromeda was a sales success, despite widespread criticism. In PCGN’s Mass Effect: Andromeda review, I noted its flaws but still had an extremely good time with it. It seems like plenty of other people enjoyed it to

I'll check out the remasters. Curious to see the improvements, and depending on the price it could be a whole lot of fun to return to the ME universe.
But it's hard to get excited about a new Mass Effect. They messed up with Andronoma and in combination with Anthem I've got very little fate left in the studio.

I have 0 faith in anything this current Bioware does.
I also have 0 interest in replaying the trilogy given its horrendous ending.
I will, however, keep an eye out to see how the new ME looks. The biggest sci-fi IP from the last gen should never have been fumbled the way if was this gen :/

The article is is wrong. The original Mass Effect was never released on PS3 due to it being published by Microsoft. Once EA purchased Bioware the series moved multiplatform, but the first was always exclusive to 360.
I feel like I waited this entire console generation for a Mass Effect remaster and now its coming in the next generation. Hope they have some PS5 improvements.
I expect the new game is a long way off. Probably 2025ish.

You're in for a treat fam, especially if they really are cleaning ME1 up to make it less of a chore to play / manage inventory etc.

OG Mass Effect was released on PS3 via Mass Effect Trilogy
I mean, maybe? EA is notoriously temperamental with studios, like most of the big publishers, and effortlessly guts franchises from a regular portfolio if they stop performance. Andromeda didn't do absolutely terribly, but it did not meet critical or commercial goals as far as I'm aware, and did not ignite a love for the series like the trilogy did, leading to plans of sequels getting totally scrapped alongside all single player post-launch content (that was planned too) binned. BioWare's additional failures with Anthem would have surely put the studio in a fickle position with EA and the future of anything they do under scrutiny.
Dragon Age 4 makes sense. Inquisition reviewed and sold well, and sustained a fanbase through well received post launch DLC. But I don't think it's unreasonable for people to have assumed any future for Mass Effect was in jeopardy.
Or just make up an ending, pick a canon, and go with it because fuck trying to work around the various ending choices. There's no way they can reconcile something like synthesis. Either it happened or it didn't, future or not, so they're gonna have to pick.
Those are the two bad, creatively bankrupts, choices. A good choice, and only respectable choice, would be to just make a sequel set some relatively short time, 0-100 years max, after ME3 where they pick an ending and really go with it and explore it and are not afraid because some man children will cry and moan about their ending choice not being respected.
Oh! Cool. I hate Andromeda so I hope is nothing related to that fucking hot mess
The way some users here shilled the shit out of that game during pre-release and promised that the .gifs previews were not representative of the final game... the industry plant of it all.

Announcement reaction to new Bioware Mass Effect
2013: "Awesome, will be interesting to see what direction they go in"
2020: "Whats Respawn working on?"
Would have been hard to get my Platinum trophy in ME1 on PC or 360, thats for sure
