Latest Steam announcements
- Ex-BioWare designer says doom and gloom about the next Mass Effect is overstated: 'I think that they can do it' - 6 September 2026
Given that Anthem and Mass Effect Andromeda were widely considered disappointments, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard had a divisive reception, there's a certain amount of skepticism about the Mass Effect game BioWare is currently working on. Some have even suggested it might not come out at all ... Read more.
- EA have gone private, as Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment groups complete their $55 billion acquisition - 4 August 2026
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, equity firm Silver Lake, and Jared Kushner's Affinity partners have completed their $55 billion acquisition of EA Sports FC, Battlefield, The Sims , Mass Effect and Dragon Age publisher EA. This comes following a filing from EA to the US Securities and Exchange Commission last week, and confirmation that the European Commission had no intention to stop the deal . Read more
- Mass Effect and Metal Gear actor Jennifer Hale calls on studios to take responsibility for their AI use: 'Ain't nobody making you do it' - 31 May 2026
s part of an interview sampled in the 2026 GDC Trends Report , prolific voice actor Jennifer Hale once again spoke on the subject of generative AI and its effect on performers, with a particular emphasis on how the future is still in human hands, even as the controversial technology takes the games industry by storm... Read more.
- Mass Effect devs have been practically radio silent for over 5 years because there's 'not a lot of time for tease' - 24 April 2026
We know very, very little about the next Mass Effect game. In fact, BioWare hasn't even revealed its name yet, so we've all been calling it Mass Effect 5 in the meantime. That aside, it was announced at The Game Awards 2020, and over five years later, there's little to show for it. But Mike Gamble confirmed in a 2025 N7 Day post that BioWare is now "heads-down and focused exclusively on Mass Effect", which was reassuring after EA downsized the developer ... Read more.
- Mass Effect TV show writer denies being told to rewrite it for 'non-gamers' - 20 April 2026
It was reported earlier this month that Amazon MGM Studios' head of global TV Peter Friedlander had requested script rewrites for the in-development Mass Effect TV series in order to make it " more appealing to non-gamers ." Not very cool! But the claim may also not be entirely accurate, as writer and executive producer Daniel Casey said on Bluesky that it's news to him... Read more.
- How BioWare can make an unlikely comeback, and why it never will: The first step is cancelling Mass Effect - 11 April 2026
t the end of 2024, I resigned myself to the fact that BioWare was no longer capable, or willing, to make the kind of RPGs that once cemented it as the titan of the genre—or to put it more selfishly, the kind of RPGs I wanted to play. After The Veilguard, which followed Anthem, which followed Andromeda, I'd lost faith. I was emphatic and probably a little bit dramatic : I was out and the studio that excited me more than any other RPG developer was long gone... Read more.
- Amazon TV head allegedly orders Mass Effect show rewrite to make it 'more appealing to non-gamers' - 4 April 2026
I don't envy any showrunners currently working on a videogame adaptation, which have been the new hotness since Fallout and The Last of Us hit the big time. On one side, you've got the general TV audience who may be skeptical of what videogames can bring to the table, and on the other, you've got hordes of fans with an axe to grind for anyone who mucks up a take on that thing they love a little too much. In other words, the Mass Effect show was always gonna have an uphill battle—and a new report alleges a rewrite has been ordered already... Read more.
- Mass Effect boss Michael Gamble is looking for a production director for the next game in the series: 'They’ll report to me and it’s gonna be awesome' - 23 January 2026
I'm not entirely confident that Mass Effect 5 will ever see the light of day. Between the Andromeda debacle, the dismantling of BioWare after Dragon Age: The Veilguard missed whatever expectations EA had for it, and the upcoming acquisition of EA by Saudi Arabia, the environment just doesn't seem entirely conducive to another big sexy space adventure ... Read more.
- Commander Shepard actors will return for the new Mass Effect game 'with bells on' if BioWare asks them: 'Email the powers-that-be who make these games and say, Give us more Shepard' - 24 December 2025
We don't know much about the next Mass Effect game in development at BioWare except that it's happening, and even that feels a little soft right now, what with all the layoffs and looming sale of Electronic Arts to Saudi Arabia . But one thing we do now know, thanks to a Fall Damage interview on YouTube with Commander Shepard actors Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale, is that they're both pretty eager to return to the role... Read more.
- The Mass Effect TV series will 'explore a brand-new story within the universe’s timeline,' BioWare exec says: 'It won’t be a retread of Commander Shepard's story' - 7 November 2025
Mass Effect chief Michael Gamble didn't have much to say about the next game in the series in today's N7 Day update , but he did throw some new light on the Mass Effect TV series being developed by Amazon... Read more.
- Mass Effect boss Mike Gamble slips a hidden message into his N7 Day update, asks fans to stop yelling at him for not sharing more info about the new game - 7 November 2025
Between the post-Veilguard massacre and EA's looming acquisition by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund , the storied studio known as BioWare is having a pretty rough time. It's still kicking, though, and still working on a new Mass Effect game—and executive producer Michael Gamble would really like it if you'd all stop yelling at him about it... Read more.
- After EA sale, ex Bioware director discusses who could buy the Mass Effect titan - 2 October 2025
Bioware is on my Mt. Rushmore of game developers. Honestly, if it had made Dragon Age: Origins and nothing else, it would probably still be carved into the proverbial cliff face of game development greats. But it didn't just make the best RPG of all time, it also made Mass Effect , Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur's Gate. While its recent games have missed more than they've hit, Bioware fans are hopeful for the future, including Mass Effect 5. However, the recent sale of EA for $55 billion puts that future in jeopardy. Former Bioware project director Mark Darrah believes there is hope for the studio if EA was to sell it.

- A casting call for the Mass Effect TV show is out there, and if you're 'A young Colin Farrell-type male', then do I have great news for you - 18 September 2025
Buddy, you'd be amazed at my capacity for forgetting videogame adaptations. Remember when I wrote about The Sims movie yesterday? I don't. What's more, now I'm suddenly remembering that, somewhere out there, Amazon is working on a Mass Effect TV show ... Read more.
- Former BioWare exec Mark Darrah says the team working on the new Mass Effect game should 'scapegoat Veilguard as much as they need to to get what they need' - 12 August 2025
The future of BioWare has never looked murkier... Read more.
- More than one Mass Effect game is on the way, suggests Bioware job listing - 1 August 2025
There's a lot riding on the next Mass Effect game. Bioware was once a bastion of the RPG genre, revolutionizing how players make meaningful decisions in videogames. However, that formula has grown a little stale, and fans are worried for the iconic studio after three fairly poorly received games in a row. Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Anthem, and Mass Effect: Andromeda were seemingly victims of tumultuous development cycles, the former two thanks to corporate pivots towards - and then away from - live-service. Therefore, when a new job listing for the next iteration of Mass Effect popped up this week, fans immediately scoured it for details. Read the rest of the story...

- 'EA always preferred Mass Effect, straight up': Dragon Age creator reveals that his and Mass Effect's team 'didn't get along' at BioWare, as EA played favourites with its children - 14 April 2025
It sure seems like the sun is setting on Dragon Age—with Veilguard falling short of expectations after years in development, EA seemingly learning exactly the wrong lessons , and sweeping layoffs including senior talent , I'm not holding my breath for the future. In my view, Veilguard was a semi-decent action RPG with a fumbled story , which just wasn't enough... Read more.
- BioWare veterans confirm they were laid off by EA, including senior Dragon Age and Mass Effect devs - 30 January 2025
Electronic Arts announced a downsizing of BioWare yesterday that saw "many" employees being moved to other studios within the company while "a core team" continues work on the next Mass Effect. EA declined to comment on whether the restructuring would also result in layoffs, but to absolutely no one's surprise, it has, including some serious veteran talent... Read more.
- BioWare restructuring sees only "core team" remain for next Mass Effect - 29 January 2025
With the enjoyable but ultimately underperforming Dragon Age The Veilguard now behind it, BioWare 's next mission is to create a stellar new entry in its beloved Mass Effect series. However, despite the game having been in pre-production for a few years now, it still seems it's nowhere near ready to ramp up into full production. BioWare has just announced that while an experienced "core team" continues to work on the next Mass Effect game, it is restructuring the studio and is seeing many of its devs reallocated to work on other EA projects.
