On N7 Day 2025, BioWare executive producer Michael Gamble addressed fans via a blog post, confirming that the next Mass Effect game remains in active development amid rumors surrounding EA's potential acquisition. The studio emphasized its full focus on the project, while also providing an update on the upcoming Amazon TV adaptation. No new trailers or screenshots were revealed, but subtle teases hinted at future story elements.
Development Update
BioWare marked N7 Day on November 7, 2025, with a blog post from executive producer Michael Gamble, directly tackling fan concerns and industry rumors. Amid speculation about BioWare's future due to EA's proposed $55 billion sale to a Saudi-led investor consortium, Gamble stated, "Like you, we've heard the rumors lately. You've made it clear you care deeply about what's next." He affirmed that "the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
The team is now "heads-down and focused exclusively on Mass Effect," following a busy period that included the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which fell short of EA's sales expectations. Gamble acknowledged fan impatience, noting, "We have a lot of universe to cover, lots of features to build, and lots of romances to figure out. We're excited by what we're building, and we promise you: when we're ready, it'll be a lot of fun to show." He thanked supporters for their patience, recognizing they are "thirsty for news."
TV Show Tease
Gamble also updated on the Mass Effect TV series in development with Amazon, first announced in 2021. The writers' room is active, with significant progress on its placement in the canon. "The show will explore a brand-new story within the universe's timeline, and will be set after the original trilogy. It won't be a retread of Commander Shepard's story—because after all—that's YOUR story, isn’t it?" he explained. The series connects to the new game and could begin filming in 2026, with executive producers including Daniel Casey and Ari Arad.
Hidden Teases
The blog contained subtle hints, such as italicized letters spelling "url krogan," leading fans to discover concept art depicting a future Krogan civil war post-Mass Effect 3 events. Gamble confirmed this as a forward-looking element, sparking speculation about the next game's storyline. Additional hidden YouTube links and a redacted URL on social media added to the intrigue, though no major reveals were made.
