Mass Effect 4, which has yet to receive a proper title, is in development at BioWare. After the release of Anthem, it seems EA has BioWare sticking to its guns: Dragon Age and Mass Effect. Both games are hotly anticipated, despite neither having any concrete plans for release quite yet.
Fans do know that they are getting more news for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf like its release date in 2024, but many may be curious about Mass Effect 4.
What's clear is that 2024 is Dragon Age: Dreadwolf's year, perhaps for release but perhaps not. If Mass Effect 4 was further in development, it would still likely get very little attention this year as BioWare began its news and marketing cycle for Dragon Age:
Mass Effect 4 News Will Be Scarce
Dragon Age: Dreadwolf will easily dominate BioWare's marketing in 2024, with the developer promising news, trailers, gameplay, and a release date in 2024. It could be that it ends up targeting a holiday 2024 release date, or it could be that the title is aiming for release in 2025.
Still, news will no doubt be welcomed by fans who have waited patiently since its initial announcement in 2018. Since then, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf has received few teasers, and it stands to reason that Mass Effect is in the same boat.
If BioWare was mostly silent for six years for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf for a myriad of reasons, then known insider Jeff Grubb's assertion that Mass Effect 4 will release sometime around 2029 holds up. That sets the entire tone for its news cycle.
It will be a mostly silent year for the game, and any possible news about the franchise that comes will likely not be directly correlated to Mass Effect 4. That's only a good thing as it allows BioWare to continue putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. However, there's at least one day fans can reasonably expect something, most likely a teaser, for the game.
N7 Day Will Most Likely Be the Next Mass Effect Updat
Since Mass Effect 4 was revealed, BioWare has shown teasers on N7 Day. New images, small teaser videos, and so forth have sparked plenty of speculation about the game. From the possible roles of the Geth and Angara in Mass Effect 4 to it seeming like the Mass Relays are being rebuilt, each N7 day has brought some life to the community. Fans can expect the same for N7 Day 2024.
Before then, fans should exercise extreme caution about any Mass Effect 4 rumors that may crop up. With Mass Effect 4 so far away and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf news around the corner, the franchise may be largely silent this year, but it does seem like BioWare is shooting for the stars with the next Mass Effect game. Good things come to those who wait, and that's ultimately the current development phase of the game.
