Mass effect 5 out in less that 5 years.

I see it being around 5 years. Anthem is coming out in early 2019. DA4 will probably come out at earliest late 2020 but far more likely some time in 2021. And that leaves ME5 at earliest 2022 and more likely 2023 which is 5-6 years from MEA’s release.

I'm okay with that so long as we get an MEA2 that at least wraps up all the lingering plotlines.

The only way I'd accept a return to the MW (and this would make me extremely unhappy) is if we learn that MEA was the fevered dream of a Jien Garson who was being indoctrinated and looking for a better world. Then we'd reintroduce the MEA in a post-war environment. That would allow us to keep the MEA cast and work off of some random ending. Since Alec Ryder would probably be alive, he could have a team of the MEA cast.

Yeah, ryder's story needs to be finished properly before a next me comes out. I've said it before, if they don't want the story with ryder to continue in a sequel and rather have a new protagonist who will find out what the scourge is, more about the jardaan, the benefactor, resolve jien garson's murder. Imo all these things i mentioned will be better having ryder doing them because i preffer them over someone else (it's gonna be weird for me). It will also be great as you previously mentioned in another thread having them be more mature but keep their cool nature, also this can apply to the team.... A ME:A2 has potential if it's executed good and have a good script, if they do these things right, then there's no doubt it will be even better than the first. And when it's gonna get good reviews, the people that didn't like the first one will consider on buying this. I think they can take some of the fans back that were lost...

What i wanted to say before is that they need to finish at least their personal story with their mother and their LI in a dlc. Then they can move on and do what they want to but i honestly want more of ryder and the crew have new adventures and find new planets to explore in a new cluster, find some new aliens....I'm afraid that they might scrap all the story of andromeda and start somewhere else with a completely new story and characters. If they do that then fans are gonna be angry and they won't have faith in them anymore on support a game that was criticized bad and then abandon it. I don't even want to think about it since that's the worst scenario for me.


As for op, i think the next me will release in 5 years tbh.

I hope its 3 years as I get older those gaps of time between games mean more.

Unless they pull some "release unfinished and update over time" funny business, I seriously doubt it. The wait between DAI and DA4 will be at least 6 years and that IP is in a much better state than ME.

It then took a further 6 months to fix all the problems with the game, unless you want take 2 of "what the hell is wrong with everybody's eyes!"

ME5 will begin development in 5 years.

He has not. He merely expressed they're always thinking about it and is sure they'll return to it which is a nothing statement other than showing personal enthusiasm for it. It's not happening right now. I bet even Patrick Weekes works on Anthem at this point in time
