Summary
BioWare fans shouldn’t expect any major news about the nextMass Effectgame come N7 Day. November 7, aka N7 Day, is a holiday of sorts forMass Effectfans. In years past, BioWare has used the day to reveal new information aboutMass Effectgames as well as release new merch for the series.
The nextMass Effectgame, which is currently without an official title, was first announced on N7 Day in 2020. A month later,Mass Effectfans were treated to a teaser trailer at The Game Awards that confirmedthe return of Liara T’Soniand little else about what the project would have in store. Teases for the newMass Effecthave been released the last couple of N7 Days, so it’s understandable that some fans have been anticipating something similar for this year’s event. Unfortunately, BioWare has told fans that they are better off keeping their expectations in check when it comes to N7 Day 2024.
BioWare took to Twitter to say that this year’sN7 Day"will be quieter" because of the recent launch of the studio’s new game,Dragon Age: The Veilguard. However, BioWare did say that fans can look forward to “a little fun” on N7 Day this year, so there will still besomethingto look forward to, even if it’s nothing particularly substantial.
Don’t Expect Any Big Announcements on N7 Day
It’s disappointing that N7 Day 2024 seemingly won’t have any major announcements for the nextMass Effectgame, but the good news is that BioWare is turning its full attention to the project. The studio recently confirmed thatDragon Age: The Veilguardwon’t be getting any DLCso that it can focus its efforts on developing the nextMass Effectgame. This is great news for franchise fans and means that updates on the newMass Effectshould become much more frequent in the years ahead.
As for when exactly the nextMass Effectgame will be available, that’s hard to say.Mass Effect: Andromedawas released all the way back in 2017, with a two-year gap between that and BioWare’s failed live-service gameAnthem. Two years later, BioWare droppedMass Effect: Legendary Edition, and then there was a three-year gap between that andDragon Age: The Veilguard. Considering the five years between original BioWare releases (AnthemandDragon Age: The Veilguard), it’s not unreasonable to say that thenextMass Effectgamemay be as far out as 2029, though that iwll largely depend on how much work has already been done on the project.
