“Dusty was one of the responsible people in bringing the original Normandy to life. He’s decided to return to BioWare to work on the next Mass Effect game, and there are more like him. We have heard what Mass Effect means to you, “he wrote. The same has happened with the cinematic director of the trilogy, Parrish Ley, who has already put his talent at the service of the studio. According to Gamble, many of the “amazing moments” we experienced were thanks to his good work and that of his team. Art director Derek Watts and veteran Brenon Holmes have also joined the group of creatives who will try to take the Mass Effect name back to the stars.
BioWare is currently working on a new version of Anthem, all while developing the next Dragon Age and Mass Effect installments. Before all that hits the market, we can enjoy Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, a remastering of the classic trilogy for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
