Everything we know so far about the next Mass Effect game

This series is no longer on ice.

BioWare warmed many hearts when it confirmed back in November 2020 that Mass Effect was coming back. A new game is being developed, with a teaser trailer released that features many classic callbacks and interesting hints as to just where this series could be going in the future.

BioWare has a long pedigree, having developed some of the most acclaimed RPGs in all of gaming, meaning this could be one of the best PS5 games available when it eventually arrives. Here's everything you need to know about the next Mass Effect game.

What is the next Mass Effect?

The next Mass Effect game is currently untitled but will be the next mainline entry in the Mass Effect franchise. While there were rumors and reports for years following the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda, BioWare officially confirmed that a new game is in development on November 7, 2020 — or N7 Day.

This game is being developed by a "veteran team" at BioWare, with a teaser trailer being released during The Game Awards 2020.

While we wait for additional information, we'd recommend checking out the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition collection, which includes remasters of all three classic games: Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3. Over 40 DLC packs are also included.

Next Mass Effect trailers

The first teaser trailer for the next Mass Effect game was released during the Game Awards 2020. You can check it out below:

Is the next Mass Effect set after Mass Effect: Andromeda?

We've got some strong hints that this game takes place well after the events of the original Mass Effect trilogy, with the teaser showing what appears to be dead or dormant Reapers as well as an older Liara. Given the logistics and time required for traveling from one galaxy to another, it's possible that this game is also set after the events of Mass Effect: Andromeda but this isn't guaranteed.

Is Commander Shepard in the next Mass Effect?

Right now, it's unclear if Commander Shepard will be included in this game. We're currently leaning towards no, especially if it takes place a long way into the future, meaning Shepard would've died of old age.

When is the next Mass Effect's release date?

Given how far out this game is, it's likely going to be a while before we learn more. BioWare is also working on a new Dragon Age game, which is similarly far out but is likely a bit closer than this title, having been revealed back at The Game Awards 2018 and being in development longer. Whenever this game does arrive, it's likely being aimed to release on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
