The troubled development of Mass Effect: Andromeda might go down in gaming history, but this decade hasn't been the most pleasant for developer BioWare. Another misfire under the studio happened just this year with Anthem, leading many to be skeptical of what the future might hold for this once beloved company. However, they haven't entirely given up on the Mass Effect series, as new reports indicate that the studio is now in the very early stages of a new Mass Effect game.

A new report from Kotaku states that BioWare Edmonton are hard at work on a new Mass Effect game, lead by long-time series producer Mike Gamble. No other information was presented other than the confirmation of a new Mass Effect game being in the works. Right now, BioWare is also developing Dragon Age 4, and with other reports of Anthem being completely overhauled, it seems like they have their hands full for the time being. There's no telling when the new Mass Effect game will be ready, or if it will continue the story of Ryder in Andromeda.
Mass Effect: Andromeda launched in early 2017 to mostly divisive reviews. Many claimed that the new story and characters paled in comparison to the original trilogy, but others loved its vastly improved combat and gameplay. Notoriously, the game was heavily panned for its wonky facial animations that sprouted a wave of memes, but for the most part, updates have tried to rectify that error. It's clear BioWare will need to go back to the drawing board if they are to redeem the series, though time will tell if this endeavour proves to be a success.
