Next Mass Effect Will “Maintain the Mature Tone of the Original Trilogy”

Next Mass Effect Will “Maintain the Mature Tone of the Original Trilogy”

As a seasoned Mass Effect fan who has navigated the perilous galaxy of Andromeda and beyond, I breathe a sigh of relief at the assurance from Michael Gamble that the tone of the next Mass Effect will remain as mature as the original trilogy. My heart skipped a beat when Dragon Age: The Veilguard took a lighter approach, fearing that my beloved Mass Effect series might follow suit. But alas, the cosmos has heard our plea and I’m overjoyed to embark on this interstellar adventure once more with the gravity it deserves. And let me tell you, if they try to make Shepard do a light saber dance, there’s a good chance I’ll revert to my old-school Kismet modding ways!


Before the release of “Dragon Age: The Veilguard,” there has been a decrease in positive reviews, despite BioWare’s RPG receiving acclaim for aspects such as its character cast and new combat system. However, one aspect that has generated some debate is its less grim, more light-hearted tone compared to previous “Dragon Age” games. Contrastingly, the upcoming “Mass Effect” will not be following this same direction.

According to Michael Gamble, who’s leading the project for the upcoming “Mass Effect,” this game is still in its early stages at BioWare. On Twitter, Gamble reassured fans that the science fiction RPG will maintain its mature tone similar to the earlier installments, so there’s no need to worry about a change in tone as we move forward.

In reference to the tone, “Mass Effect” will continue with the mature style seen in the initial trilogy, according to Gamble’s statement. He didn’t share any more details at this time.

Gamble also shared on Twitter that the forthcoming Mass Effect will persist with a lifelike visual aesthetic, opting against the stylistic approach seen in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. For further details, follow this link.

Last August, BioWare confirmed that the next installment of Mass Effect was still being developed in early stages, and earlier reports suggested this was still accurate. Since Dragon Age has now been released, the studio is likely to focus entirely on the science fiction RPG next. However, it’s rumored that we won’t see this game until 2028 or 2029.

Concerning tone, Mass Effect will preserve the adult-oriented style seen in the initial Trilogy. For the moment, that’s about it.
