The next Mass Effect - PlayStation 5 (PS5) Forum

I don't know if there is enough interest to sustain this thread, but I know there are quite a few Mass Effect fans on here and I believe at least some of you are jonesing for a new fix of that Mass Effect goodness. I know I am. Now, after the sale of EA, the future of BioWare and the next Mass Effect game proper has become a bit uncertain, and should the studio and game survive to release the next iteration, there is still a question of whether this has any chance of being any good or if the "EA rot" will infect this one too. There are, luckily, other games on the way that are looking to scratch that ME itch, so I figured this could be a place to discuss not only ME, but also the contenders for the throne. Most notably at this point in time are Exodus by Archetype Entertainment and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn by Owlcat Games. Both of these seem to be pretty far along in development and what prompted me to create this thread is that both games are, as of today, available to wishlist in all the places you do your wishlisting (no confirmed release date for either of them yet, though). So what do you think, fellow Mass Effect fans? Can there be only one Mass Effect or have these other games piqued your interest? Have you been following the development of these projects or are you only just now hearing about them (I will assume ME5 is well known)? Any other games on the way (or already out) that can help fill the Mass Effect void worth mentioning?

I just can't get excited for ME type games. It's the same with Soulslike, if it isn't from From I just find them dull even Lies of P deleted it after 4 to 5 hours. With the next ME I wouldn't be too freaked if the Veilguard team were heavily involved as despite the slatings I actually enjoyed the game. Sure it wasn't the second coming and some needless box ticking felt forced upon the player but it was well above average regardless.

@THEBrew Oof, I hope not. While I don't have high hopes for the next ME from BioWare, I'd prefer it if they'd at least try to cater to the fans of the series instead of alienating them in the hopes of drawing in a new crowd.
