Which as per this Kotaku report notes that the project is very early in development, with BioWare's Mike Gamble overseeing production. Whose credits include the excellent Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, as well as the not-so excellent Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem.

With the Edmonton studio also currently working on Dragon Age 4, this very early new Mass Effect game is probably at least three to four years out from release. That is, if it's a project that goes forward.

This also ties in nicely with BioWare head honcho Casey Hudson (who spearheaded the original Mass Effect) posting some unused concept art from the Mass Effect vaults for N7 Day.

We have so many ideas for things we want to do in #MassEffect, so much concept art that hasn't yet been brought to life, and so many stories yet to tell. #N7Day pic.twitter.com/gDXbYComCC

As it's been a couple of years now since Andromeda, the legacy of Mass Effect is still strong thanks to the brilliant trilogy that started it all. In fact, if BioWare is planning to re-visit this world we'd also love to see the first three games get the proper remaster treatment.
