I'm sure there's quite a bit of people that do wonder what's currently known about the next Mass Effect game. I'm here to sum up all the news and rumors that's been floating around the web the past 2-3 months about the next Mass Effect game.
The first thing that’s known about the next game is that the support for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 is being dropped, as a way to benefit the actual gameplay of the next Mass Effect game. Also, it was stated that Dragon Age: Inquisition will not be a template for the next Mass Effect game either. All of this was stated on the internet community Neogaf by the Bioware executive Aaryn Flynn.
Mass Effect: Next will also future a improved combat system, which kind of have been revealed by Bioware themselves on Twitter. Chris Wynn, who’s a senior developer at Bioware stated in a post that combat is looking great and that biotics plus powerful hardware is amazing.
Other than that, Bioware have actively been recruiting animators for the next game to make the game more cinematic.
From what’s known right now, the game will be made available in Q2 2016. Delays are always to expect so I personally believe that the game will be out Q4 2016.
