From the sounds of things, the game is still very much in early pre-production and it is likely the development team will shift their focus on Mass Effect after they are done working on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.

While the new Mass Effect game was first teased back in 2020, not much else has been revealed about the game. The brief teaser trailer hints at the return of Shepard and fan-favorite character Liara T’Soni.

However, Bioware are yet to confirm if the next Mass Effect will be a continuation of Shepards journey, the events of Mass Effect Andromeda or tell a completely fresh story all together.
