- The next Mass Effect is still in the pre-production phase, according to Michael Gamble, the game's project lead. He clarified the project's status in response to a fan on X but didn't share any additional details.
- BioWare first announced the new Mass Effect in December 2020 with a brief teaser trailer. Since then, development has seemingly been handled by a small team, as most of the studio focused on Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The remaining work on the new Mass Effect could take another three to five years.
- In late January, BioWare underwent a restructuring. Some Dragon Age developers were reassigned to other EA projects, while others were laid off. The studio has stated its goal is to rethink how it balances the production of two major games simultaneously.
- According to journalist Jason Schreier, BioWare now has fewer than 100 employees. Studio head Gary McKay and Michael Gamble are reportedly working to "reboot" the company.
- On February 1, BioWare celebrated its 30th anniversary.
