Mass Effect Andromeda was released in March 2017 for PS4, PC, and Xbox One. Arriving five years after the previous game, Andromeda was met with mix reviews in comparison to the original trilogy, with criticism levelled at its various bugs and glitches upon launch, particularly the dodgy-looking character models. The game is now available as a free 10-hour trial for those interested in taking it for a spin.
In related news, publisher Electronic Arts has announced during its recent earnings call that BioWare Montreal, the creators behind the Mass Effect franchise, has been moved into the same facility as EA Motive.
“We’re building out a new studio in Montreal, as we’ve told everyone. And we’ve hired over 100 people into that studio that are brand new to EA. This is to build the new IP around Jade Raymond’s team that she has been building. I was in that studio last month and it’s a wonderful new addition to our team. And we brought our BioWare Montreal team into that same facility, so they now all sit in one new studio together,” commented EA executive, Blake Jorgensen.
Rumors have suggested that the series has been put on ice for now, although EA has yet to make any formal announcement about the future of the Mass Effect franchise at the time of writing.
