Mass Effect Fans Still Waiting for Answers, but BioWare Drops a Crumb of Hope

The release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard may not have fulfilled the expectations of Dragon Age enthusiasts, but for fans of the Mass Effect series, the wait continues. It's been 12 years since the last installment, Mass Effect 3, and the 2017 release of Mass Effect: Andromeda only left fans craving for more. The reception of the latter game, unfortunately, further kindled the passion to revisit the series.

A Potential Tease from BioWare Director Michael Gamble

BioWare director Michael Gamble recently utilized the social media platform X to fuel the anticipation for the next Mass Effect game. He shared that the Mass Effect Legendary Edition is currently available for a discounted price of $5.99 at GameStop and the Microsoft Store, causing a surge in discussion about the iconic RPG trilogy. Gamble specifically encourages fans to take advantage of the deal and play the renowned DLC, Lair of the Shadow Broker, from Mass Effect 2.

Why the Suggestion Matters

  • The Lair of the Shadow Broker is widely regarded as one of the standout moments in the Mass Effect series.
  • Liara T'Soni, the protagonist of the DLC, also makes a notable appearance in the debut trailer for the upcoming game, hinting at a significant role in the new installment.

Speculation and Speculation Fuelled

Although Gamble's post may be intended as a genuine recommendation, some fans are interpreting it as a subtle hint about the next game. They theorize that the director is highlighting a connection to this DLC or its inspiration, which could provide insight into the upcoming storyline.
