Gamble confirmed that the next Mass Effect game is actively in development, with EA and BioWare remaining committed to expanding the universe. Despite a turbulent few years for the studio, the team is now fully focused on the Mass Effect project. “We have a lot of universe to cover, lots of features to build, and lots of romances to figure out,” Gamble stated, highlighting the progress being made on the project.

TV Series to Tell a New Story

The Mass Effect series being developed in partnership with Amazon remains on track. As the writers’ room continues its work, the show’s place within the Mass Effect universe has been clarified.
