Effect

This is no secret to anyone else in the industry. Mass Effect: Andromeda’s future is uncertain in light of recent events. The developer of the game has been getting a lot of issues fixing the game and recently got merged with EA Motive to work on other projects.

Added to this is the fact that ME: Andromeda has taken a year and a half to develop. According to an old Polygon report: The team had a slew of grandiose concepts for Andromeda at first. With procedurally generated planets, highly detailed facial animation and expert use of publisher Electronic Arts’ powerful Frostbite engine.

Despite the fact that Facial animation was downright mastered by as early as 2004. Mass Effect: Andromeda had a lot of animation issues, glitches and sloppy storytelling that led to an inevitable failure. BioWare remained silent for the following 3 months about a possible expansion to the main story.

Fernando Melo of BioWare Edmonton, who worked as a producer on Mass Effect: Andromeda, recently took to Twitter to answer a bunch of questions regarding the game’s future. And while he provided some answers, none of them seemed to give a new hope to the franchise.

A franchise put On Ice. Mass Effect Andromeda’s death by incompetence

Let’s start with the basics. What’s going to happen in regards of Single Player DLC for Mass Effect: Andromeda? Fernando answers this question with a concerning answer to those hoping for a story expansion:

The following question is in regards to support. Fernando responded to a question in regards to the longevity of the support towards the game. His answer is vague but it can open solid speculation about where the series is going. Especially considering Bioware Montreal’s fusion with EA Motive

The end of Mass Effect? Who knows.

Mass Effect is a game that has earned a lot of respect from many gamers and journalists alike. With EA on the lead however, the game only had one launch and one chance to make itself a popular title. I can certainly say that at least. Mass Effect: Andromeda is dead, there is no studio to work on the game anymore.

I am very scared of talking about the future of the series. Considering Bioware’s silence on the matter as well. It’s certainly a very bad time for the diehard fans of the series. Only time will tell like always, but I’d recommend fans to start getting the black suits ironed…

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
