Lots of people asking me about Mass Effect now that Veilguard reviews are out, and Oct 31 is close.
Both are from the studio, but Mass Effect is Mass Effect. How you bring a Sci Fi RPG to life is different than other genres or IPs...and has to have different kinds of love.

I'm not sure I agree with the Pixar thing, but Mass Effect is photorealistic and will be as long as i'm running it.

Regarding tone questions: Mass Effect will maintain the mature tone of the original Trilogy. This is all I'm gonna say for now.

I only hope the "mature tone" will not entile the frat boys club humor/treatment of the feminine players (straight women mostly). Having stuff like Citadel Javik and Vega was ewwwwwwww!!! (who remember, know)

That's very welcome after i've been totally appalled the travesty that seems to have happened to dragon age.
Next i'd like to hear news that Paragon/renegade is returning as that would give some hope in regards breadth of choice being a priority.

from bsky.app/profile/masseffectnews.bsky.social

Mass Effect was not mentioned in the EA Q2 FY25 Earnings Call, but:
- EA seems to be happy with DAV and expecting a strong performance.
- There is a sort of postmortem on Anthem that reiterates that BW will stick to its traditional games, char-driven and with a rich world.
bsky.app/profile/masseffectnews.bsky.social/post/3l7rvrplhuo2s

Keep an eye on the charts today. If DAV continues to perform well, that is also good news for Mass Effect and story-focused, single-player games.

Hi everyone,

New to the forums here. Big Mass Effect fan. Hoping to hear something new in the upcoming sequel for N7 day.

Glad Bioware's attention is quickly shifting to full production on ME instead of DA.

BioWare Has No Plans for Dragon Age: The Veilguard DLC as It Turns Its Attention to Mass Effect 5

...Rolling Stone reports that BioWare's "full attention has shifted entirely to the next Mass Effect" now that Dragon Age is officially out in the wild.

While BioWare didn't offer any follow-up details in Rolling Stone's report, IGN understands that the studio plans to support The Veilguard with quality-of-life improvements and a handful of smaller content updates. We have reached out to EA for more details.

Sad if true but not surprising, I don't think Bioware wants to have ANOTHER 10-year development time for the next Mass Effect.

We hope everyone is enjoying their time in #DragonAge: The Veilguard. It’s only a few days until #N7Day and this year will be quieter because of launch. Be sure to check back then for a little fun, though!

Veilguard seems to get a controversial reception. Not good for a potential ME5 =(

the situation seems to be: the game is good, there are some legit criticisms, but mostly the "controversy" is fake astroturfed culture war BS

I'm actually taking the DAV rollout as a sign for cautious optimism for the future of ME: I haven't played it yet, but by the reviews and gameplay footage I've seen it seems like they managed to make a legitimately good game. Which I wasn't sure they could still do.

I couldn't tame that beast with a handful of meat

Good on them to set expectations early, honestly.

At minimum, the modder showcases are also a good way to spend the day.

Hi everyone,

November 7 has arrived once again, and as always, we’re grateful for the opportunity to celebrate all things Mass Effect! This year is a little different, as we just launched Dragon Age: The Veilguard as a studio; so we’re purposefully keeping things lighter as we celebrate the launch of the game (speaking of which, you may notice a small treat from the Mass Effect team in Dragon Age: The Veilguard* if you check out a new chest inside the Lighthouse).

There is some cool new merch in our BioWare store and we have partnered with No Man's Sky and Destiny 2 to bring back a couple fun cross-promos in those games. Be sure to check our social channels for all the details.

Although we are a little quieter this year, we couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come.

— The Mass Effect Community Team

* Requires Dragon Age: The Veilguard (sold separately), all game updates, & internet connection to claim and use content

Yeah obviously it wasn't going to be anything elaborate like last year, but figured we would get new concept art.
