The new game in this series isn’t even in full production yet. Gonna be at least 4-5 years and probably not on this console generation before it comes out.

BioWare is in the same position Bethesda is in. People are more infatuated with the IP/franchise than they are with the content the developers are actaully producing.

not every game developer is rockstar that can take 10 years off from a game series come back and make big waves. A lot of those devs take that time off and put out shyt that feels exactly like the last entry did 10 years ago. Too many people leave the company, the money doesn’t stretch as far, different publishers, different expectations with the audience, etc.

I mean this is the first one since 3 without Benzies involvement. We need to see how it plays out.

If people didn’t like veilguard they’re not gonna like mass effect 4.
we're never gonna see another mess like veilguard again the way it flopped. inquisition sold more in one week than veilguard did in its lifetime to date.

but i'll be shocked if another mass effect ever gets released because of it anyways

That’s my fear too. BioWare has nothing but flop after flop the past decade+ so why trust them with another release?

Mass Effect is a worthwhile IP. Just might be that EA assigns it to another developer. I’m expecting BioWare to be dismantled in the not too distant future. They’ve had one too many screwups in a climate where that’s not tolerated.
