The unique Mass Effect workforce’s subsequent mission is reportedly codenamed Dylan, and it’ll signify EA’s reply to different MMO-light video games resembling Destiny and The Division.
BioWare Edmonton, builders of the Mass Effect trilogy, have been engaged on a brand new IP for over 4 years now. We have been first launched to it at E3 2014, however solely the vaguest particulars have been shared on the time.
According to a brand new report, this mission will get an official reveal at E3 2017, and it’s probably a lot greater than anybody might have anticipated. The particulars have been shared by Liam ‘Unseen64’ Robertson on his most recent Patreon podcast. This is identical podcast the place Robertson additionally talked about a Knights of the Old Republic revival at BioWare Austin.
According to him, the BioWare Edmonton sport is codenamed Dylan, although which will even be its closing identify. The identify is expounded to the protagonist, however issues get extra fascinating when Robertson begins speaking in regards to the nature of the mission.
“Dylan is, from what I perceive, a sci-fi themed sport, it’s kind of Destiny-style, takes some parts from The Division, it has like MMO parts. Someone described it as a ‘semi-MMO’,” he stated, as reported by IBTimes.
“I don’t know much more than that… it is a huge scale project, perhaps the biggest BioWare has ever done. It’s bigger than Mass Effect Andromeda, considerably so. It will have co-op.”
Dylan is reportedly going to be revealed at E3 2017 in June, which is what we anticipated given EA’s most recent financial report and the BioWare assertion that adopted it on the time. During the identical name, EA stated the sport will likely be out earlier than the tip of March 2018.
BioWare burdened on the time that the sport could be an motion journey, not an RPG. This makes full sense, particularly when you think about EA is the one massive writer and not using a shared-world MMO-style stay sport to its identify.
