Development on Mass Effect 4 teaser hinted at the return of recurring Normandy crew member Liara T'Soni.
Aside from Liara’s apparent involvement, not much is known about the plot or setting of the next Mass Effect, as 2012’s Mass Effect 3 featured a conclusive (and highly controversial) conclusion to the saga of Commander Shepard. Meanwhile, 2017’s Mass Effect: Andromeda shifted the focus to a brand-new protagonist in the titular Andromeda Galaxy. This most recent installment ran into controversy when it first came out due to reports that EA rushed Bioware's development of Mass Effect: Andromeda, and the game shipped with many half-finished features and glitches as a result. Now EA and BioWare seem to be trying to avoid this outcome with with Mass Effect 4, and they might even be returning to the tried-and-true Unreal Engine.
Very recently, next Dragon Age game.
The Mass Effect series has jumped back into the spotlight following nearly four years of dormancy thanks to the release of Mass Effect Legendary Edition sold well above expectations according to the last EA earnings call.
So far, EA has yet to make any official confirmation of Mass Effect 4’s development process or a return to the Unreal Engine, but it seems like BioWare is currently focused on getting the next Dragon Age out before switching gears back to Mass Effect. If the rumors about the new Mass Effect beginning development no sooner than 2023 are true, then there's a long wait for the sci-fi universe's return ahead.
