'EA always preferred Mass Effect, straight up': Dragon Age creator reveals that his and Mass Effect's team 'didn't get along' at BioWare, as EA played favourites with its childrenApr 14, 2025 - PC GamerIt sure seems like the sun is setting on Dragon Age—with Veilguard falling short of expectations after years in development, EA seemingly learning exactly the wrong lessons, and sweeping layoffs including senior talent, I'm not holding my breath for the future. In my view, Veilguard was a semi-decent action RPG with a fumbled story, which just wasn't enough...

EA declined to comment on whether the restructuring would also result in layoffs, but to absolutely no one's surprise, it has, including some serious veteran talent...

It's also done now, with no plans for major DLC in the pipeline—sort of a first for the series, overall...

That's left fans of the series eager for whatever scraps of information they can get their hands on, and BioWare's Michael Gamble, who's heading up work on Mass Effect 4, might have just thrown them a bone...

Humanoid Origin, the studio founded in 2021 by Casey Hudson, the former director of the Mass Effect trilogy, has confirmed it will be closing, and that means development on its upcoming triple-A sci-fi game is also ending.

Given all that, and the fact that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is now out in the wild, some fans are no doubt hoping that the next N7 Day, which is now nearly upon us, will serve up some sort of proper reveal. Alas, it almost certainly will not...

Set during the events of Mass Effect 3, the premise is basically a sidequest that never was—taking place over the course of a single night as Shepard and crew board and fight their way through a crashed Cerberus ship to recover research data...

My mom says so. That means it's totally fine that, according to recent Tweets from former BioWare cinematic designer John Ebenger, I've been bamboozled into thinking my characters are moving faster when they aren't, thanks to techniques like "speed lines" and "whooshing sounds." Yes, I've basically fallen for the video game equivalent of when you trick a dog by pretending to throw something. I'm not at all upset and I'm handling it very well. We owe this latest reveal of game developer villainy to Twitter user @dyingnome, who tweeted on Saturday that a Dragon Age: Inquisition dev once admitted that they "just added some wind lines" to obscure the fact that DA:I horses weren't actually going any faster while sprinting. Ebenger quoted the claim to confirm that yeah, BioWare did that—just like it'd done in Mass Effect, too. Scoundrels! Illusionists!..

The game will be the fifth mainline entry and is yet to be named, though the mood music is unmistakeable: following on from the botched fresh start of Mass Effect: Andromeda, widely disliked by series fans (though I thought it was alright), this is going to give the people what they say they want.

Cannily, it focuses on fan favorite companions Liara, Garrus, Tali, and Wrex. All will be packaged in 32mm plastic form, along with two Commander Shepards—one FemShep and one BroShep.

We might not be getting that exact wish, in videogame format anyway, but some of the best Mass Effect characters are reuniting for a board game. Read the rest of the story...
