Mass Effect 4 Information Coming Sometime In 2014, According To GM of Bioware

Aaryn Flynn, GM for BioWare's Edmonton & Montreal studios states that more information about Mass Effect 4 will be coming sometime in 2014.

What? i expected we could get a trailer or teaser this year ;_; Still, i want ME4 really bad. One of my most anticipated games.

Pintheshadows3787d ago

I think they want to focus on Inquisition for now. It does look promising I have to say. Hopefully Mass Effect will be a revolution for the series.

Sovereign593787d ago

Though still very bitter about the ending(s), I have to admit that I am quite curious to see just where Bioware plans to take the future of this franchise. I was hoping to see something teased last Saturday.

qzp3787d ago

this year? dude there is only a new days left

XiSasukeUchiha3787d ago

Hopefully Bioware snaring at u as we speak

-Foxtrot3787d ago (Edited 3787d ago )

I know we won't play as Shepard but they HAVE to explain that <SPOILER> breathing scene at the end of one of the choices.

Is he alive? What happened to him if he did survive? How did he survive since he was in space when the Citadel blew up or did part of it blow up and he ended up below deck.

I hope his legacy is still in tact.

To be honest I actually wouldn't mind if we did play as him again...like he's been preserved in the far future or something would be nice to see our choices carry over for old time players

Mass Effect 4 is a prequel, it happens years before the events of ME1.

Sovereign593787d ago (Edited 3787d ago )

That's been neither confirmed nor denied. "Is the next game a prequel or a sequel?" Bioware has avoided that question like the plague.

EDIT: And that's not me giving you a disagree vote.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3787d ago

You don't know that it's a prequel. Not sure why you are asserting that as fact.

Lionsguard3787d ago

As if I even want it to be a prequel..it's just what I've read. I didn't play all three games in a marathon over the summer only to suffer through the stupid ending to play a prequel.

M1ST4K33787d ago

That end... :P but I'm pretty sure then won't even touch near that matter... From what I understand, to BW, Shepard is a closed book...

Just imagine, that end is the most difficult to get (you had to either import a save, play the multiplayer or buy all the DLC in order to have enough War Assets to get that end, and then you even had 3 choices, only one leaving you "alive"), so I'm making the wild guess that only 30% of people that played the game got that ending (if not less). (I'm NOT sure, but I even think that "breathing" is part of the Extended Cut DLC, so cut that 30% to like 10%, but don't take my word on that).
Imagine 90% of the other players getting the "Shepard is alive!" slap in the face in the new game... lol. "WTF!? ME3 had a crap ending and now this??? wowow!"

But I'm with you, bud... would love to get some closure on that cliff hanger...

Aces173787d ago

Sometime in 2014... Great now I can mark my calendar.

qzp3787d ago

he didnt say "mass effect 4" simply more mass effect is coming. big difference

BioWare Could be Working on More than Just Dragon Age Dreadwolf and Mass Effect 4

Earlier this year, BioWare was hit with layoffs as part of a downsizing of parent company Electronic Arts, but fans have been reassured that the next Mass Effect game hasn’t been impacted. Likewise, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s development is still churning along, with BioWare putting it at the forefront of its focus and rumors suggesting that it could launch sometime later this year. Fans might be getting another look at the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at the Summer Game Fest in June.

If the recently posted job offering for a temporary development manager is any indication, BioWare could have yet another surprise up its sleeve for when Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are nearing completion. This mystery BioWare video game could truly be anything, from another spin-off of its two major properties to something entirely new. All there is to go on at the moment is a vague mention in the job posting, and it might still be some time before BioWare is ready to confirm any new games in its pipeline.

So a studio that spent years on anthem then this dragon age thing is now also working on another ip along with mass effect,

You think they would be worried that there brand has been on 3 major screw ups

Dragon age 3 launched broken with the frostbite engine yes its a good game but you can see in the late game how rough it was

anthem......

Mass effect 4 well that dev team was fired so yeah.....

They should make sure this new dragon age is a goat instead of putting more work on the table

bababooiy21d ago

Bioware today is like 150 poeple i dont see how they are seemingly working on all these projects at the same time.

Michiel198921d ago

Inquisition wasn't broken, it just had some flaws and on the contrary it also had some strengths. If you call inquisition a major screw up then idk what to say.

That said with what happened to the study since then and now, I'm not really confident that their next game will be any good.

just_looken20d ago

If you played it fully to get plat like me back in its novemeber launch window you had that castle with empty area's endgame missions not there or working and a mp that was made around loot box grind like the mass effect mp.

Its hard to explain to those that played it years later after they tossed out the dlc/patch's

Michiel198920d ago

entitled much? I played it at launch too. Why you even platted it if it was a "major screw up"?
It was good enough for you to sink 100 hours in but also a complete fuckup at the same time, make up your mind.
So either you like shitty games or you're just talking out of your ass.

RaidenBlack20d ago

Well just wanna say, Archetype Entertainment is the new BioWare, composed of mainly ex-BioWare vets.
And they're developing Exodus (starring Matthew McConaughey), a new sci-fi RPG (spiritual successor to Mass Effect, dare I say?)

CantThinkOfAUsername21d ago

I hope it's a single player game with Anthem's gameplay mechanics.

Becuzisaid21d ago

They're owned by EA. What makes you think that they wouldn't publish for PS5? Shoot, if your fridge could connect to your bank account EA would try to release it for that if they could!

Double_O_Revan21d ago

How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.

Becuzisaid21d ago

Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.
