The creative director of Mass Effect: Andromeda has revealed that a sequel to the divisive RPG could have fared much better.
Speaking during an interview with Eurogamer, Mac Walters said that he wished the team could have had a stab at a follow-up to Andromeda, as he feels that they could have greatly improved on the faults of the original game.
I only wish we had been able to then do a second one. You would have really seen that polish just like we did from [ME1] to [ME2] on the original [trilogy]. With Mass Effect, arguably there’s lots of things that we didn’t do right, but then we got to hone it and improve it on Two, and then perfect it on Three. With more time, Anthem was already trending to something that was actually pretty unique and interesting and had a really legitimate argument to be in the game space, but it just needed time to get there.
Mass Effect: Andromeda was released for PS4, PC, and Xbox One in 2017, although it didn’t receive the same critical acclaim as the original trilogy. You can read our own Mass Effect: Andromeda review here.
