News Mass Effect: Andromeda Gameplay Is Finally Here, Running on PS4 Pro
The future is here
Those BioWare Twitter teases weren't for nothing, it would seem. As hinted, Mass Effect: Andromeda was indeed shown during Sony's PlayStation Meeting - and it was running on the newly announced PlayStation 4 Pro. This trailer is the first time that we've seen real, near-finished gameplay of the 2017 title, and it's looking...
News FFS EA, Are You Making a Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster or Not?
Publisher goes back on previous comments
Oh for crying out loud EA, what the heck is wrong with you? Earlier this month, studio boss Patrick Soderlund said that the company was "actively looking at" remastering the original Mass Effect Trilogy for current-gen consoles. Soderlund's comments were met with cheers from countless fans of BioWare's sci-fi...
News Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster for PS4 May Finally Be Happening
About time
It's difficult to think of many last-gen properties that fully deserve to be remastered for the current generation. The Uncharted Collection is a good shout, and titles like Skyrim are arguably too popular to ignore - but the continued absence of a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster has always baffled us. This is a story that goes all the way...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda Combat 'More Fluid and Organic' Than Ever Before
Sci-fi shootouts in open environments
Mass Effect: Andromeda is catapulting BioWare's role-playing series into new territory with its vast, open world areas that are yours to explore as you hop from planet to planet - but this huge change in design has forced the studio to rethink a lot of the franchise's other core elements. In particular, the...

You've seen the Mass Effect: Andromeda E3 2016 trailer by now, right?

Much like Commander Shepard, Ryder can be male or female depending on your preference, but unlike...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda Development Is 'Healthy' Says BioWare
Studio explains why the game mostly skipped E3
We were bitterly disappointed by the distinct lack of Mass Effect: Andromeda gameplay at this year's E3, especially since the game has been missing in action for roughly three years now while BioWare employees still insist on hyping the project to extreme degrees on social media. Our frustration aside,...
E3 2016 Here's Your Annual Mass Effect: Andromeda PS4 No-Show
Fly into the sun
Three years, three huge disappointments from BioWare and EA. Once again, the Canadian studio brought virtually nothing of Mass Effect: Andromeda to EA's press conference, turning up to the show with a new behind-the-scenes trailer. Unheard of! To be fair, the video does feature little bits and pieces of gameplay, but there's...
News BioWare Confirms Mass Effect: Andromeda will Warp to PS4 in Early 2017
A galaxy not too far away
Since earlier this year, we've known that Mass Effect: Andromeda won't be launching in 2016. However, in a statement on the official Mass Effect website, BioWare's general manager Aaryn Flynn has confirmed that the game will ship in "early 2017". Okay, so it's not huge news, but at least the developer's taken the time to...
News Geth a Load of This Leaked Mass Effect: Andromeda Gameplay
Old as the hills
It's bizarre to think that, several years after its official announcement, we've still only seen a handful of teaser trailers from Mass Effect: Andromeda. This leaked gameplay footage that's doing the rounds, purportedly acquired from a BioWare employee's resume, shows various snippets from the release – including some jet-pack...

Shiny new artwork from BioWare's latest
It's been a while since we posted some desperate Mass Effect: Andromeda news, so we thought we'd go ahead and share some shiny new renders of the game's main character, who's apparently called Pathfinder. While the renders provide our best look yet at the protagonist, the design comes as no surprise...
News Mass Effect Andromeda Will Enter PS4's Mass Relay Next Year
Drell, there it is
You won't be cooing over Krogans this Christmas, as EA Games has quietly let slip that Mass Effect Andromeda will release sometime next year instead.

News Mass Effect: Andromeda's Lead Writer has Jumped Ship to Destiny
Andromeda will "blow people away"
Mass Effect: Andromeda's lead writer, Chris Shlerf, has revealed that he's left the project and is now working at Bungie on Destiny. Going by Shlerf's tweets on the matter, it would appear as though his role has been fulfilled when it comes to BioWare's latest, with him leaving on good terms with the Canadian...
News Mass Effect Andromeda Will Crash Land on PS4 Soon
Geth in
Expect aliens, dialogue wheels, and interspecies bonking fairly soon, as Mass Effect Andromeda is travelling at the speed of light to a PlayStation 4 near you. EA has confirmed as part of its dreadfully dull investor's meeting that the space-based role-playing game is just one mass relay away from entering your machine – or, to put that in...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda Is in a Playable Form Right Now
Still on target for late 2016
We'll be the first to admit that this isn't a huge slice of news - especially when it originates from a series of BioWare employee tweets - but it would appear that Mass Effect: Andromeda is now playable, at least to some degree. In other words, the game's development cycle is supposedly going smoothly. "Just finished...
News Key BioWare Developer Leaves Mass Effect: Andromeda
Making sense of the stars
Chris Wynn, otherwise known as Mass Effect: Andromeda's senior development director, has ended his career at BioWare. Wynn was originally taken on by the developer in 2013 to help with the upcoming sci-fi project. So, what does this mean for the highly anticipated role-playing release? Thankfully, according to the Canadian...
Soapbox Why Mass Effect 2 on PlayStation Plus Deserves Your Attention
Sheparding the flock

Geth a load of this
Uh oh, where's Robert Ramsey when you need him? Oh right, he's working on a very high-profile review.

BioWare previously said not to expect anything on its...
News No, You're Not Getting Any Mass Effect: Andromeda News on N7 Day
BioWeary
Good lord, BioWare, how long will you make us wait? Between really vague and annoying employee tweets, game expo appearances that feature nothing but concept art, and a disappointingly short CG trailer, we've been shown next to nothing of Mass Effect: Andromeda. If you hadn't noticed, the 7th of November, otherwise known as N7 Day to Mass...
News BioWare Shares More Mass Effect News That You Probably Don't Care About
Give us games or give us death
At this point, we're just desperate for something - anything - on Mass Effect: Andromeda, the next instalment in BioWare's sci-fi series. Heck, we'd go barmy over the announcement of a remastered PlayStation 4 trilogy, but for some reason, EA mustn't like the idea of relatively easy money. In any case, the point is...
News You'll Probably Hear More About Mass Effect: Andromeda in the Near Future
Space to breathe
After a rather stunted showing at E3 2015, fans have unsurprisingly been clamouring for more information regarding Mass Effect: Andromeda ever since.

E3 2015 Is a Mass Effect Trilogy PS4 Remaster Happening? Even EA Doesn't Seem to Know
The cycle continues
If anything was missing during EA's 2015 press conference - well, apart from it actually being good - it was a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster announcement. Fans of Commander Shepard's epic sci-fi quest have been begging for such a reveal ever since new-gen consoles arrived on the market. BioWare, the studio behind the franchise,...
E3 2015 BioWare Spills Some Details on Mass Effect: Andromeda
Entering orbit
While we're sure that many of you were left disappointed by the big reveal of Mass Effect: Andromeda - which amounted to a 40 second long teaser trailer - we all need to step back and realise that these things take time. Sure, we're just as impatient as you are, but we can wait for greatness - it's often what gaming is about these...
E3 2015 Mass Effect: Andromeda Finally Touches Down at EA's Press Conference
N7 heaven
We've finally been given a glimpse of the next Mass Effect game, subtitled Andromeda. Sadly, we once again didn't see the sci-fi release in action at E3, but we did get an enjoyable CG trailer.

News These Mass Effect PS4 Teases Honestly Get Worse
Spaced out
We already know a good amount about Mass Effect's new-gen debut, largely because an enormous pool of information recently leaked.

Rumour Mass Effect PS4 Sounds Massive, Ambitious, and Awesome
Survey spills the space beans on sci-fi sequel
And that's associate editor Robert Ramsey crying into his early afternoon coffee.

News Michael Pachter Reckons Mass Effect PS4 and Mirror's Edge 2 Will Release Before March 2016
If you say so
In a recent Wedbush report, everyone's favourite analyst Michael Pachter and his peers at the company noted that the next Mass Effect and Mirror's Edge 2 will launch before the end of March 2016. The reasoning behind this analysis is that EA's fiscal year begins this month and ends next March, and along with the likes of a new Need...

News It Sounds Like PS4's Mass Effect Won't Just Be Dragon Age: Inquisition in Space
Dragons can't even breathe in space
Given Dragon Age: Inquisition's critical success, it wasn't long before BioWare fans began to wonder how the title's formula would affect the studio's sci-fi property, Mass Effect. Distancing itself from previous games in the series, Inquisition's foundation is built upon open, explorable maps, and a whole lot of...
Feature Miss the BioWare Roundtable? Here Are All the New Details on Mass Effect PS4
Sounds massive
The BioWare N7 day roundtable stream is now over, and although we basically sat through half an hour of developers rattling off their favourite Mass Effect moments for the sake of seeing several pieces of brand new concept art, we did actually manage to nab some new info regarding the next title in the series.

News The Man in Charge of Mass Effect Has Boarded the Normandy SR-2
Veteran hangs up his N7 armour
PlayStation 4’s first Mass Effect game didn’t look in a particularly mature state at Comic-Con earlier this year, so it’s concerning to learn that Casey Hudson – the man in charge of the franchise – has departed BioWare before the sequel’s even been properly announced. In his
News Mass Effect's PS4 Debut Still Stuck in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Years away, apparently
You won’t be playing the next Mass Effect title for some time, as BioWare has revealed that its upcoming intergalactic adventure is still years away. The snippet was supposedly stated during a San Diego Comic-Con panel overnight, which was attended by Phil Hornshaw from GameFront. A
News This Mass Effect 4 Panel Comes with Commander Shepard's Endorsement
Hero's favourite public forum at Comic-Con 2014
Hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 follow-up Mass Effect 4 is in a weird sort of promotional limbo right now, strangely nestling somewhere between announced and unannounced. We know that the game exists, for example, but we don’t really know a whole lot about it – and that makes its inclusion in the...
Weirdness Garrus, What Are You Doing in Doctor Who?
Mass Effect's popular Turian must have hopped into the TARDIS
Doctor Who will always baffle this particular editor. The low-budget BBC sci-fi series is a British institution like James Bond and Bourbon biscuits, but has always prompted a raised eyebrow from this dismissive scribe. Alas, a new trailer for the latest episode in the never-ending...

Bioware's put a countdown on their website
It counts down to sometime on Monday. Why are we telling you about this? Well, because we kinda hope Bioware are finally going to man up and release the first two Mass Effect games for PS3. It seems ludicrous not to, right? Meh... Feel free to flame us if this turns out to be something totally bollocks.
News Bioware Don't Rule Out A Playstation 3 Port Of Mass Effect
One of the few XBOX 360 semi-exclusives (it's on PC too) we'd love to play is Mass Effect
Alas, developers Bioware are always quick to avoid the question of a PS3 port. Take for example Ray Muzyka's comments over at CVG.com. When quizzed about why the developer chose to not bring the game to the PS3, Ray said:"I think a more accurate way to...
