The next entry in the Mass Effect series continues to be in development, BioWare confirmed today during the annual series' celebrations.

In a new blog post shared on the developer's official website for N7 Day 2025, Executive Producer Mike Gamble provided a brief update on the game, confirming that it continues to be in development, as EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in the series' universe.

Following some busy years at the studio, BioWare is now fully dedicated to the development of the next entry in the Mass Effect series, and is continuing to explore new features to build and figure out lots of romances.

"We’re excited by what we’re building, and we promise you: when we’re ready, it’ll be a lot of fun to show," Mike Gamble wrote, thanking players for their patience.

Besides providing this small update on the next entry in the series, the Mass Effect Executive Producer also provided an update on the TV show based on the series, which is in the works by Amazon Prime Video. The show, which will explore a brand-new story within the universe's timeline, will be set after the original trilogy, and "a lot has been figured out" about how it fits with the series' canon and the timeline of the next entry in the series.

The next entry in the Mass Effect series was announced on November 7, 2020, but very little has been said about it over the years, as BioWare was focused on the development of projects such as Dragon Age: The Veilguard. As Mass Effect Andromeda ultimately proved to be a disappointing release for many fans in the series, although it got gameplay right, in my opinion, it makes sense for BioWare to take all the time it needs to make this comeback one to remember.
