"Since the release of Mass Effect™: Andromeda, we’ve worked hard to address feedback from our community. From improving animations to expanding customization options, we looked to respond to your concerns, and build on what you loved. With each patch, you let us know we were heading in the right direction, and we're grateful to everyone who joined us on this journey. We're proud of what we created, and we hope you enjoyed it as well. Early in development, we decided to focus Mass Effect: Andromeda’s story on the Pathfinder, the exploration of the Andromeda galaxy, and the conflict with the Archon. The game was designed to further expand on the Pathfinder’s journey through this new galaxy with story-based APEX multiplayer missions and we will continue to tell stories in the Andromeda Galaxy through our upcoming comics and novels, including the fate of the quarian ark. Our last update, 1.10, was the final update for Mass Effect: Andromeda. There are no planned future patches for single-player or in-game story content. In the coming weeks, our multiplayer team will provide details of their ongoing support and upcoming content, including new multiplayer missions, character kits, and what’s in store for N7 Day. We appreciate all the millions of people who came with us to the Andromeda galaxy. We hope to see you again in the Mass Effect universe." The Mass Effect Andromeda Team
Bummer. LOOOOLLLL and people laughed at that guy who said patches and DLC were being abandoned including me who knew from the start that Andromeda was doomed before the original BSN forums got shot down. WAY TO GO EA and BIOWARE can't believe people still protect and defend this crap

So that's the end of Andromeda. We either hope for a sequel or face the reality of this game being left behind. THEY WANT TO REVIVE MASS EFFECT? they should make "MASS EFFECT 4" and go back to the MILKYWAY GALAXY where it belongs after the Reaper war for crying out loud how the F is it hard to choose one bloody canon ending?

Bioware are now developing a new IP entirely focused on multiplayer. All previous games have had DLC, but Bioware was much more focused on single player then than they are now. You've got the EA survey asking about multiplayer, and despite the fact that the Montreal team was disbanded the MP team was kept intact. They are clearly prioritizing MP. The Benefactor, the Remnant and the Kett are much bigger storylines than the Quarian Ark, they are intended to be sequel hooks since they can't be simply solved in a DLC unless it's a huge one. To put it another way, there's just no way DLC was cancelled halfway through development just because of MEA's reception, that would be wasted money. So SP DLC was never planned. And yet you have the Quarian Ark tease in the game. So they did plan to have something Quarian related. Plus all further teases about the Quarian Ark so far have been in MP briefings. You also have the batarian who was introduced in MP but not SP and his lore explained in a blog post. It's not a huge stretch to imagine the same was planned to happen with the Quarians and their lore will be handled in novels and comics. And for what it's worth, Jason Schreier's sources mention that no DLC was planned, not that it was cancelled. DLC is a huge part of business now, but MP is FAR bigger. I expect the MP team will announce a Quarian multiplayer addition when the novel comes out. They are teasing an MP announcement in the blog post and plans for N7 day. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if MEA was always intended as a test drive for a MP driven game, to prepare people for Anthem.This we will never know however now that EA will get soon its own Destiny 10 years support co-op MP, always online, microtransactions bonanza to milk, one could reasonably hope that DA and ME could be focused now on SP when they decide to develop them. MP never truly worked that much there especially on DA. Let's hope now that they have the MP milking cow they are open to let the other two franchises develop their forte being traditionally SP.

😞 I'm very disappointed. Yes and I feel dumb for being loyal, for believing and supporting the SavetheQuarian hashtag - they could have make the statement earlier so maybe some of us didn't have to feel so embarrassed 😶 Nevertheless I want to thank the devs for all the hard work they put into the game and I wish them all the best. I for myself will finally move on and waiting patiently for the next Dragon Age. I hope it won't take that long 🤞

Unsurprising, but still sad. At this point my only hope is that they really mean something with the "We hope to see you again in the Mass Effect universe" line, and that it's not just "hey, keep playing MP". I just don't need the second out of my three favourite franchises to be shelved, for quite different reasons though, within ~a year.

BioWare is massively incompetent, of course it is hard. And leaving Andromeda would be a massive mistake in first place. You don't just set up a brand new set up only to abandon it and get back to original thing that ended very controversially and can only cause more controversy. But who the hell sure care anymore, BioWare is untrustworthy to finish stories anymore.

Well, guess who owes Jason an apology? Lots of people. Still, there it is. What most people expected. Sad news. ME is done. Absolutely not. Calling something correctly doesn't excuse bullying behaviour, and IIRC most of the critisism centred around that. The rest was mostly passionate disagreement, sceptisism around his unvarifiable claims (which is no different to the sceptisism of the possibility of DLC), with a few "Jason Sucks" comments thrown in. None of which require an apology. If you wanna go suck up to an arsehole, be my guest. Don't expect me to follow you.

Disappointed but not suprised. Would have liked to have seen one DLC considering how heavy they were laying it on at the end of the game.
Other then comics and books I doubt we will see much from Mass Effect for a very long time now sadly.

Well, that's gone as expected. I wanted DLC because after some fixes, MEA has snuck up to the level of an acceptable game. I never expected it, bacause it launched as a complete clusterfuck and the damage was done. Hopefully, there's a lesson in there for not just BioWare, but the industry as a whole: Don't rely on patching to fix your broken at release mess. You only get one shot at a first impression. Sadly, I suspect that lesson being learned is about as likely as me capturing a unicorn that shits gold bricks.
And this is the part where I reveal myself as a horrible human: As disappointing as this end is, I can't help but relish the salty tears of a few people who shall remain nameless (but you know who they are) leading the cheerleader brigade on this forum with accusations of everything from delusions to misogyny if you weren't drinking the "dlc will come, there are no tanks in Bagdhad" kool-aid. How's that crow taste?

Yeah, expected something like that. The only thing surprising me is them announcing it at all.
In any case, since there's nothing to come, MEA has outlived it's usefulness on my hard drive. Lots of lose ends that really make me just a little bit angry. Such as the benefactor or the Garsson murder. I'm not in the mood to play an unfinished - yes, unfinished - game again.

Garson/Benefactor and mother could have waited for another game but Quarian Ark that was so much teased in MEA transformed into a book ... "lol" just no.

I will just say what I've said all along, since before the game even came out. That you must not give people false hope. And in stringing this inevitable statement out for months and months, that is precisely what they did. A fitting end I suppose to what has been a bungled and cowardly dialogue with the fans over this game.
The real pain in all this is not the game falling below not only expectations, but below what could reasonably have been expected. In that regard, it was a disappointment, but not to the degree many insisted it was. It had a mediocre story sure, but it was in many ways a decent game that showed promise in and of itself and for the new frontier it was charting for ME, and given it had such a tough act to follow.
But no, the real tragedy is that this belated execution of MEA has made the fans look and feel foolish, credulous and ultimately abandoned, with Anthem pouring industrial amounts of salt into wounds that couldn't close because Bioware and EA kept them open by delaying this confirmation. And because being a fan means having faith. Jaded, modern seen it all before types may point out the signs were there, you shouldn't have let yourself be duped etc.
But you can't help it. If you really care, then you really care. And it makes moments like this all the harder. Bioware and EA need to do some serious thinking about how they've been treating their fans. Because this has been a long, sad, torturous ordeal.

Well sucks for them, with Patch 1.10 they've finally made a stable game with good graphics and mechanics to expand on and they abandon it. What a clever move.

I'm not his fan, given his attitude towards people criticizing him. But he didn't get lucky He simply had his informations. I read his story as a journalist and, as I said back then, his story deserved credit. It wasn't a hackjob, as everyone working in the field could tell.

So that's the end of Andromeda. We either hope for a sequel or face the reality of this game being left behind. THEY WANT TO REVIVE MASS EFFECT? they should make "MASS EFFECT 4" and go back to the MILKYWAY GALAXY where it belongs after the Reaper war for crying out loud how the F is it hard to choose one bloody canon ending? Given the massive vitriol that actually resulted in those endings, why would they have bothered?
