The next Mass Effect game—presumably Mass Effect 5, though it remains untitled—was first announced in 2020. However, leading up to that announcement, BioWare faced a challenging period, and unfortunately, the situation has not significantly improved since then.
Despite these difficulties, BioWare and Electronic Arts made sure that N7 Day did not pass without addressing the status of the upcoming game. The next Mass Effect installment is still very much in development, and both teams remain committed to its release.
On N7 Day 2025, BioWare shared a blog post providing an update on the game’s progress. In the post, the developers reaffirmed that the project is actively in development and will continue to be a priority for the foreseeable future.
While the wording of the blog suggests we shouldn’t expect major news about the game just yet, the team is keeping fans engaged with new Mass Effect-related content. This includes upcoming merchandise and crossover collaborations with other EA intellectual properties.
Although details remain scarce, BioWare’s commitment signals that the Mass Effect franchise is far from abandoned and that new adventures in the universe will eventually arrive. Fans will need to stay patient as the developers continue crafting the next chapter.
