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.

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…
