While the next Mass Effect title remains in development at BioWare, despite troubling rumors about the studio’s future following EA’s acquisition, there’s been no gameplay or release window announced. That doesn’t mean fans aren’t being teased in other ways, though. The latest N7 Day post led to some hidden artwork depicting a Krogan civil war, for example.
However, it seems that’s only the tip of the iceberg, as executive producer and project director Mike Gamble tweeted, “Everything you’ve seen – from all N7 days – will connect.”
Some of these include footage of a mysterious mass relay and the reveal of what could be the new protagonist. The latter was seemingly in-engine and featured various species, including Mass Effect: Andromeda’s Angara. How will all this possibly connect? We’ll have to wait to find out, but with rumors claiming it won’t launch until 2029, it could be a while.
What we do know is that Mass Effect 5 or whatever it ends up called will have photorealistic visuals and maintain the original trilogy’s more “mature tone.”
