    Mass Effect and Metal Gear actor Jennifer Hale calls on studios to take responsibility for their AI use: 'Ain't nobody making you do it'

    s part of an interview sampled in the 2026 GDC Trends Report , prolific voice actor Jennifer Hale once again spoke on the subject of generative AI and its effect on performers, with a particular emphasis on how the future is still in human hands, even as the controversial technol

    Mass Effect devs have been practically radio silent for over 5 years because there's 'not a lot of time for tease'

    We know very, very little about the next Mass Effect game. In fact, BioWare hasn't even revealed its name yet, so we've all been calling it Mass Effect 5 in the meantime. That aside, it was announced at The Game Awards 2020, and over five years later, there's little to show for i

    Mass Effect TV show writer denies being told to rewrite it for 'non-gamers'

    It was reported earlier this month that Amazon MGM Studios' head of global TV Peter Friedlander had requested script rewrites for the in-development Mass Effect TV series in order to make it " more appealing to non-gamers ." Not very cool! But the claim may also not be entirely a

    How BioWare can make an unlikely comeback, and why it never will: The first step is cancelling Mass Effect

    t the end of 2024, I resigned myself to the fact that BioWare was no longer capable, or willing, to make the kind of RPGs that once cemented it as the titan of the genre—or to put it more selfishly, the kind of RPGs I wanted to play. After The Veilguard, which followed Anthem, wh

    Amazon TV head allegedly orders Mass Effect show rewrite to make it 'more appealing to non-gamers'

    I don't envy any showrunners currently working on a videogame adaptation, which have been the new hotness since Fallout and The Last of Us hit the big time. On one side, you've got the general TV audience who may be skeptical of what videogames can bring to the table, and on the

    Mass Effect boss Michael Gamble is looking for a production director for the next game in the series: 'They’ll report to me and it’s gonna be awesome'

    I'm not entirely confident that Mass Effect 5 will ever see the light of day. Between the Andromeda debacle, the dismantling of BioWare after Dragon Age: The Veilguard missed whatever expectations EA had for it, and the upcoming acquisition of EA by Saudi Arabia, the environment

    Commander Shepard actors will return for the new Mass Effect game 'with bells on' if BioWare asks them: 'Email the powers-that-be who make these games and say, Give us more Shepard'

    We don't know much about the next Mass Effect game in development at BioWare except that it's happening, and even that feels a little soft right now, what with all the layoffs and looming sale of Electronic Arts to Saudi Arabia . But one thing we do now know, thanks to a Fall Dam

    The Mass Effect TV series will 'explore a brand-new story within the universe’s timeline,' BioWare exec says: 'It won’t be a retread of Commander Shepard's story'

    Mass Effect chief Michael Gamble didn't have much to say about the next game in the series in today's N7 Day update , but he did throw some new light on the Mass Effect TV series being developed by Amazon... Read more.

    Mass Effect boss Mike Gamble slips a hidden message into his N7 Day update, asks fans to stop yelling at him for not sharing more info about the new game

    Between the post-Veilguard massacre and EA's looming acquisition by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund , the storied studio known as BioWare is having a pretty rough time. It's still kicking, though, and still working on a new Mass Effect game—and executive producer Michael Ga

    After EA sale, ex Bioware director discusses who could buy the Mass Effect titan

    Bioware is on my Mt. Rushmore of game developers. Honestly, if it had made Dragon Age: Origins and nothing else, it would probably still be carved into the proverbial cliff face of game development greats. But it didn't just make the best RPG of all time, it also made Mass Effect

    A casting call for the Mass Effect TV show is out there, and if you're 'A young Colin Farrell-type male', then do I have great news for you

    Buddy, you'd be amazed at my capacity for forgetting videogame adaptations. Remember when I wrote about The Sims movie yesterday? I don't. What's more, now I'm suddenly remembering that, somewhere out there, Amazon is working on a Mass Effect TV show ... Read more.

    More than one Mass Effect game is on the way, suggests Bioware job listing

    There's a lot riding on the next Mass Effect game. Bioware was once a bastion of the RPG genre, revolutionizing how players make meaningful decisions in videogames. However, that formula has grown a little stale, and fans are worried for the iconic studio after three fairly poorl

    '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 children

    It 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, Veil

    BioWare veterans confirm they were laid off by EA, including senior Dragon Age and Mass Effect devs

    Electronic Arts announced a downsizing of BioWare yesterday that saw "many" employees being moved to other studios within the company while "a core team" continues work on the next Mass Effect. EA declined to comment on whether the restructuring would also result in layoffs, but

    BioWare restructuring sees only "core team" remain for next Mass Effect

    Former BioWare vet says the studio is focused on a single game 'for the first time maybe ever' with Mass Effect 5—and whether that's good or bad is anyone's guess

    Dragon Age: The Veilguard is one heck of a mixed bag—receiving a spread of good and bad praise from critics, some resentment from its fans, and apparently falling far from the mark financially . It's also done now, with no plans for major DLC in the pipeline—sort of a first for t
