Mass Effect 5 Was Supposed to Redeem the Series After Andromeda, and Now We'll Never Get That
I'm the sort of person that just replays my favorite games whenever there's a big gap between releases. And a decent amount of time, that's Mass Effect, whether it's just the first game or a run through the entire original trilogy. So, for me, a Mass Effect 5 that captured the magic of the first three games has been something I've been looking forward to since before it was even announced in…
Mass Effect 5, intended to revitalize the series after the divisive Andromeda, remains a lost opportunity due to EA's closure of BioWare. For long-time fans like the author, the game was eagerly anticipated as a potential return to the magic of the first three titles. Despite BioWare's attempts to keep the project a secret, the lack of information about the game only heightened anticipation and disappointment.
While there are other games in the works, such as Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic and Exodus, they do not provide the same nostalgic and cohesive experience as Mass Effect 5 would have. Fans are left to cherish the original trilogy and hope that future games can capture the same essence.
