We haven’t heard anything about the next Mass Effect for months, but the recent release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard means good news for BioWare’s upcoming space opera title.
Games in the Dragon Age series have traditionally received story additions upon release (Dragon Age: Inquisition even included a story epilogue as DLC), but Dragon Age: The Veilguard will take a different path.
BioWare, on the eve of the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, mentioned that it had no plans for add-ons for the game, and in the first post-release interview with Rolling Stone it once again confirmed this.
IGN adds that the studio’s ambitions for post-release support for Dragon Age: The Veilguard are limited to patches with improvements and a few small content updates.
As Rolling Stone reports, with the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, “BioWare’s full attention has shifted to the next Mass Effect.” The studio did not go into details about the future game.
The new Mass Effect was confirmed back in 2020, but has not yet received a single full trailer. The project will feature photorealistic graphics, an adult tone, and scenarios with “serious characters in humorous situations.”
Dragon Age: The Veilguard was released on October 31 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, EA App), PS5, Xbox Series X and S. The peak online game on Steam reached 89 thousand people over the weekend – the project exceeded its starting figures.
