Mass Effect Legendary Edition

It will be some time until fans of the Mass Effect series will be able to experience the next entry in the series, according to a reliable insider.

Commenting on the teasers shared yesterday to celebrate the annual N7 day, Tom Henderson, who proved over and over to be a reliable insider, said not to expect the game for three or four more years. While it is disappointing the series will need something like ten years to continue, this is hardly surprising, considering BioWare is hard at work on the next entry in the Dragon Age series.

The fact that Mass Effect Andromeda isn't among the best entries in the series makes the wait for its follow-up even more difficult to bear. While the gameplay was mostly fine, featuring the best combat system in the entire series, the predictable story and uninteresting companions made the journey of the Pathfinder one that was easy to forget, as I highlighted in my review.

Mass Effect Andromeda could have been one of the best RPGs ever, but sadly the game never realizes its full potential. While the gameplay experience and RPG mechanics are mostly well done, with the best combat system of the entire series, the predictable story, uninteresting characters, and generally mediocre writing make the Pathfinder's quest to find a new home for humanity not as memorable as it could have been.
