Speaking on a Giant Bomb podcast, Jeff Grubb explored how Dreadwolf’s constant delays are also impacting the next Mass Effect game.

    They just fired 50 devs while working on two games simultanously. I wouldn’t be surprised if BioWare doesn’t manage to finish either one before going bankrupt.

      At this point, I won’t believe Dreadwolf is actually coming out until it’s on store shelves, and I don’t think for a moment there’s actually going to be another ME game…Not one made by BioWare, at any rate.

      Sony should sweep in and take the studio off EA’s hands and rebuild it. Sony is missing a studio capable of making fantasy RPGs in their roster. give them the Decima engine and see what they can do without having the burden of EA meddling.

    In all honesty does anyone actually care anymore? Like, I really have no interest in a new Mass Effect or Dragon Age at all now, and I loved both series at one point. Andromeda was a mess, Dragon Age 4 was shaping up to be a live service shitshow until they abandoned it (allegedly), and this is the same Bioware that gave us Anthem. At this point I’d rather they just let both series die

      Andromeda was half decent (gameplay) the story was kinda lack luster but there was a few good moments with the characters. I would love a fifth installment. They should say screw dragon age and put that into the grave where it belongs

        The gameplay was actually pretty good, but the writing, the setting, the characters, none of the rest of it was any good. I gave up after the first planet because I just didn’t care about anything at all, and I don’t have any faith that Bioware could even reach that level any more

    The studio that made Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 struggling like this while 3 sparks a fire in the western RPG genre is just sad to see.

    They probably forgot to slap a season pass and lootboxes on it. Bet half of the team is hard at work putting in annoying mechanics that can be skipped by money and carving out content for DLCs.
