Whether or not we actually see any ofMass Effect 5this year, it should still be an exciting one for fans.
Why? Well,BioWareis no longer focused onDragon Age: The Veilguardwith the game having launched last October.
Certainly,The Veilguardwill continue to be supported and I’m imagining there’ll be some post-launch content on the way eventually.

What I doubt though is that the game remains the studio’s prime focus.
With the game having successfully launched, it’s likely that manpower will have been shifted across to the studio’s next game,Mass Effect5- something that’s quietly been in development since 2020.
That being said, it’s widely assumed that the vast majority of those five years will have been spent in pre-production.
You see,Mass Effect 5seemingly went toThe Elder Scrolls VIschool of being announced too early.

With the dev count now likely increasing though, this year should bring some real substantial progress behind the scenes, even if that’s not progress we’re privy to.

It’s assumed to follow on fromMass Effect 3whilst being the fifth game overall in the series.
I’ll be surprised if BioWare drops an update before this November’s annual N7 Day but that hasn’t stopped eagle-eyed fans from revisiting old materials to dig up fresh clues.

Yet it’s only now, all this time later, that fans are uncovering a potential hidden message within the image which shows a masked individual in N7 uniform.
You can take a look for yourself below.
This is especially interesting as Gamble revealed that “more people played Paragon”.

Is this concrete proof that the Renegade/Paragon system is returning? I’d urge you to treat such a theory with caution.
Admittedly, yes, this character’s jacket is seemingly very purposefully shaped, and it does bear a striking resemblance to the Paragon symbol but this could simply be a nod to the way in which the vast majority of players approached the game.
WhateverMass Effect 5has in store for us, let’s hope it’s worth the wait.
