Not sure anyone wants this, especially in the current political climate. Their best bet would be to set it in Andromeda. That way, they can appeal to the non-gamers as franchise faithful hated 4, and they won't be interfering with any established canon. I really just see them trying to make it an anti-woke answer to Star Trek. Still, it won't be my Mass Effect... but I might give it a chance. Really just want Mass Effect 5 at this point. But I'm going through the Dragon Age games to tide myself over (still in the first one) until I go back as MascShep and do a Renegade run, bang 3 different girls, and let people die in the suicide run by not doing their loyalty missions and picking poorly. Looking back, I think you can lose most of them and still have a viable run in 3 with the war effort.

what makes you think it's going to be anti-woke? Have you seen The Boys and Gen V? Those shows are way more woke than the superficial new Star Trek series.

I doubt any new mass effect game would be good. If you haven't seen the new expanse game coming out, check on that. That has me way more excited than anything EA would make.

I refuse to even look at the new Expanse game until I finish the series. Just started season 3. So not much longer now. I will absolutely check out the game once I'm caught up.

Dude. What's with the hat?

I just started season 4. From what I understand, the game takes place during the first 3 seasons.
