Key Takeaways
- Next Mass Effect game will be photorealistic, departing from Dragon Age’s art style.
- BioWare confirms next Mass Effect game to maintain the mature tone of the original trilogy.
- The new game was announced in 2021 after Andromeda failure.
As a die-hard Mass Effect fan who grew up exploring the galaxy and making tough decisions alongside Shepard, I couldn’t be more thrilled with BioWare’s latest revelation! The next Mass Effect game ditching Dragon Age’s art style for photorealism is music to my ears. No offense to Dragon Age fans, but who doesn’t want their space opera to look like a sci-fi blockbuster?
In just a few days, BioWare will unveil the latest addition to the Dragon Age series titled Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Interestingly, even as they gear up for this release, the studio is also working on another game – the upcoming installment in the Mass Effect franchise.
As a gamer, I’d put it like this: If you weren’t too keen on The Veilguard’s art style, here’s some good news! The upcoming Mass Effect game won’t resemble it in terms of visual aesthetics. BioWare Project Director Mike Gamble made this clear over at X when he responded to a fan. He confirmed that as long as he’s leading the project, Mass Effect is going for a photorealistic look.
The Next Mass Effect Game Will Be Photorealistic
From the tweet, it’s clear that Gamble doesn’t think Dragon Age: The Veilguard shares the same graphical resemblance as Pixar productions. Although likening it to Pixar might be an exaggeration, its art style is noticeably distinct from what you’d find in a Mass Effect game.
In our ongoing discussion about Mass Effect, Gamble mentioned that the upcoming installment in the series will preserve the mature, serious atmosphere characteristic of the initial trilogy.
As someone deeply rooted in the Mass Effect fandom, maintaining a serious approach seems fitting, and I’m confident that fellow enthusiasts would agree – they’d prefer it no other way.
It’s perfectly fine if you weren’t aware that a fresh Mass Effect game is under development; most people, including me, only found out about it during N7 Day in 2021 when BioWare surprised gamers with a trailer revealing the project. However, since then, details have been scarce due to the studio focusing its attention on the impending release of their new Dragon Age game, which is coming much sooner than the next installment in the Mass Effect science-fiction RPG series.
What Happened to the Mass Effect Franchise?
Although the Mass Effect trilogy is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest gaming series ever made, the positive feelings and admiration faded significantly following the disappointing launch of Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2017. This sequel to the trilogy was met with both critical and commercial disappointment, with many gamers commenting on the unusual character faces, which had never been an issue for the franchise previously. After this setback, the series took a break, but the 2021 announcement signaled that Electronic Arts (EA) still has plans for the brand.
Since BioWare is set to unveil a new game soon, it looks like we’ll have a substantial gap until the next Mass Effect installment. For those curious about Dragon Age: The Veilguard, our review suggests that it’s an engaging addition to the series, steering the franchise towards more RPG-lite concepts.
