The next Mass Effect would have had 'a level of autonomy and choice that no other game has been able to match', according to BioWare veteran
BioWare had paid attention to Larian and CD Projekt.
BioWare veteran Tony de Waal, who served as cinematic supervisor on the now-canceled RPG Mass Effect 4, has shared insights into the ambitious project. De Waal, who joined BioWare 29+ years ago and returned in 2021, revealed that around 50 people were working on Mass Effect 4 before the studio's closure. He expressed pride in the team's efforts to create a game with unprecedented levels of autonomy and choice, surpassing any other title in the industry.
De Waal also acknowledged the significant challenges faced during the development of the studio's second Frostbite engine project, The Veilguard. Despite the studio's closure and a broader restructuring at EA, de Waal remains hopeful for opportunities in the games industry, emphasizing his wealth of experience in cinematic production and narrative development.
