New Mass Effect Game Will Not have this Dragon Age: The Veilguard feature

Michael Gamble, the project lead for the upcoming Mass Effect installment, recently put fans' worries to rest by confirming that the new game will uphold the photorealistic art style characteristic of previous titles. This reassurance comes amidst contrasting visuals found in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, another project from BioWare. The studio had announced in 2020 that the Mass Effect series would make a comeback with a new mainline game, but details remain scarce. What is known is that this sequel will take place after the original trilogy and will feature Liara T'Soni, a beloved Asari squadmate of Commander Shepard.

As excitement builds for the next Mass Effect, BioWare is also preparing to launch Dragon Age: The Veilguard on October 31. Early impressions highlight the game's engaging narrative and character dynamics, though some aspects, particularly its vibrant and cartoonish art style, have received mixed feedback compared to earlier entries in the franchise.

In a recent Twitter discussion about the imminent release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Gamble noted that while both titles are developed by the same studio, they are distinct projects with different artistic visions. Responding to a Twitter user, ReaLitY_Siege, who expressed concerns about the new Mass Effect adopting a "Pixar-like" aesthetic akin to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Gamble clarified that he might not fully agree with this criticism. He assured fans that Mass Effect would preserve its signature photorealistic style.

Next Mass Effect Maintains Mature Tone of Original Trilogy

In the same Twitter conversation, Gamble emphasized that the upcoming Mass Effect will also retain the mature themes that defined the original trilogy, although he remained tight-lipped about specific plot details. Currently, there is limited information regarding the storyline of the next installment, and with the branching narrative of previous games, many fans are curious about the state of the Milky Way galaxy following Mass Effect 3 in 2012.

Meanwhile, Dragon Age: The Veilguard is navigating its own continuity by simplifying player choices to three core options, prompting speculation that BioWare may adopt a similar approach for the next Mass Effect. While Dragon Age: The Veilguard might offer insights into certain elements of the upcoming Mass Effect, it appears the two will diverge in their artistic direction. Fans eager to explore the new visual style of Dragon Age: The Veilguard will get their chance on October 31, allowing them to judge its appeal firsthand.
