[Update] BioWare Teases Images Of Next Mass Effect
Happy N7 Day, everyone. BioWare is celebrating Mass Effect today by sharing memories, fan art, and general good will with the series’ fans. It seems that the next Mass Effect game might be a little further along than we previously realized.
In a tweet from Mass Effect producer Mike Gamble, we get our first off-screen look at the title.

We can’t tell much from the image, and there’s absolutely no way to determine how far along the title is. It does seem to be beyond the concept phase, though.
Here's another tweet from BioWare Montreal studio director Yanick Roy:

Stay tuned. There may be more Mass Effect images coming. If you want more Mass Effect, you can check out a tribute video with many of the series' voice actors.

Our Take
I wouldn’t expect a lot of Mass Effect talk until after Dragon Age: Inquisition ships, but it’s great to know the team is working on it. Perhaps the wait after Dragon Age won’t be too long. Commander Shepard’s story might be over, but there is much more to experience in the Mass Effect Universe.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
