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 just doesn’t seem entirely conducive to another big sexy…
