BioWare Has Bad News for Mass Effect Fans

by

Key Takeaways

  • BioWare will have no major news to share with Mass Effect fans on N7 Day.
  • The studio just recently shipped Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
  • It’s unclear when news on the next Mass Effect game may arrive.

As a longtime Mass Effect fan, I can’t help but feel a bit of nostalgia tinged with anticipation every time N7 Day rolls around. The excitement that comes with this annual celebration has been a beacon of hope for me and countless other fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in our favorite sci-fi saga.

Fans of BioWare shouldn’t anticipate significant updates regarding the next Mass Effect game on N7 Day. November 7, also known as N7 Day, serves as a sort of celebration for Mass Effect enthusiasts. Historically, BioWare has taken this day to share new details about Mass Effect games and release merchandise related to the series.

In simple terms, the upcoming “Mass Effect” game, still unnamed officially, was first revealed on N7 Day in 2020. A month after, a teaser trailer for “Mass Effect” at The Game Awards hinted at Liara T’Soni’s return but didn’t disclose much about the project. Over the last few N7 Days, fans have been expecting new information on this game, so it’s natural they hope for another reveal this year. However, BioWare has suggested that fans should curb their enthusiasm when it comes to N7 Day 2024.

On Twitter, BioWare announced that this year’s N7 Day celebration would be more subdued due to their recent release of the game “Dragon Age: The Veilguard.” Despite the toned-down event, fans can anticipate a bit of fun on N7 Day, meaning there will still be some excitement to look forward to, although it may not be anything significant.

Don’t Expect Any Big Announcements on N7 Day

It appears that N7 Day 2024 may not bring significant updates about the upcoming Mass Effect game, but here’s some positive news: BioWare is dedicating all their resources to this project. In fact, they’ve confirmed that Dragon Age: The Veilguard won’t have any additional DLC, allowing them to focus solely on the development of the next Mass Effect game. This is fantastic for fans of the franchise as it means we can expect more frequent updates about the new Mass Effect in the coming years.

It’s tough to predict when the next Mass Effect game will arrive on the scene. Since Mass Effect: Andromeda was launched in 2017, there’s been a gap of two years between that and BioWare’s live-service game Anthem. Following Anthem came Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, and then there was a three-year wait for Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Given the five-year interval between BioWare releases (Anthem and Dragon Age: The Veilguard), it’s possible that the next Mass Effect game might be as far off as 2029. However, this timeline could change depending on the progress made on the project so far.
