The Wait Continues: Mass Effect Fans Revisit Classic Trilogy

It's been an entire year since fans were finally treated to a new game from the iconic series - Dragon Age. Although the game didn't meet everyone's expectations, there's one franchise that has left fans yearning for more: Mass Effect.

A Decade-Long Drought

The last Mass Effect game to hit shelves was Mass Effect 3 in 2012, followed by Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2017. Unfortunately, neither game completely satisfied the masses, with Andromeda taking an unfortunate dip in quality. As a result, Mass Effect enthusiasts are holding on to hope for the long-awaited next installment.

BioWare in Focus After Dragon Age Release

The developer, BioWare, has recently shifted focus towards the next Mass Effect game after releasing Dragon Age: The Veil. Even though a release date is still uncertain, fans can find comfort in recent statements from BioWare director, Michael Gamble.

A Crumb of Information for Starving Fans

On social media platform X, Gamble provided some insight into a current deal that fans might be interested in. The Mass Effect Legendary Edition is available at a discounted price of $5.99 on both GameStop and the Microsoft Store. Gamble emphasized that fans jumping on the offer should also explore the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC in Mass Effect 2.

The Importance of the Lair of the Shadow Broker

For context, the Lair of the Shadow Broker is a high-point in the Mass Effect series, featuring a remarkable storyline. Gamble's suggestion might have been nothing more than a genuine recommendation. However, Mass Effect enthusiasts in the comments were quick to theorize if Gamble's mention of the DLC was an inside hint at the new game.

Could This be a Sneak Peek into the Next Game?

Although the new game is shrouded in mystery, it does seem fitting that Liara T'Soni, a main character from the DLC, is mentioned. Fans speculate that her involvement might indicate a link between the new game and the classic series. Of course, without more clarification from Gamble, nothing is confirmed.

A Tease, or Merely a Suggestion?

We'll have to continue waiting to see if there's any further information. When Michael Gamble shares more, we'll update this story accordingly.
