BioWare Confirms New Mass Effect Game and TV Series with Amazon

• BioWare confirms two Mass Effect projects.
• The new Mass Effect game promises the latest features and romances.
• Mass Effect team partners with Amazon to explore TV series adaptation.

After locking in for the world's biggest deal in the gaming industry, EA is now set to develop its new BioWare Mass Effect game. As confirmed on the BioWare Blog, Executive Producer Mike Gamble said that the studio and its parent company both intend to "remain committed" to the future of the franchise.

Adding to it, Gamble also informed that the team is "focused exclusively” on Mass Effect's development. As per his statement, the team has “a lot of universe to cover, lots of features to build, and lots of romances to figure out.”

This update comes after the studio underwent a team restructuring, including layoffs and interchanging staff members across several other EA projects. The authorities reportedly informed that the Mass Effect development team “didn’t require support from the full studio.”

Nevertheless, based on Gamble’s recent update, the game could be quite promising. “We’re excited by what we’re building, and we promise you: when we’re ready, it’ll be a lot of fun to show,” he added. What came as a pleasant surprise is that Gamble on the BioWare blog also revealed that the team is extensively working with Amazon for a TV series.

Mass Effect x Amazon: What to Expect?

Mike Gamble hinted that the plot of the series will “explore a brand-new story within the universe’s timeline, and will be set after the original trilogy.” He highlighted that the narrative “won’t be a retread of Commander Shepard’s story.” 

The Amazon-Mass Effect project was greenlit back in 2024, which also hinted at the involvement of Fast and Furious 9 writer, Daniel Casey. In fact, Karim Zreik is also said to be producing the project through Cedar Tree Productions.

"The writers' room is going strong, and we've got a lot figured out about how it fits within the Mass Effect canon, and where it sits in respect to the new game," Gamble explained.

Amazon is no stranger to on-screen video game adaptations. Post its Fallout series success, a new Mass Effect series could become another feather in their cap. 

As noted by Production Weekly, Amazon reportedly opted for a Q4 2026 production date for the series earlier this year in August, with no confirmed release date stated at the moment. 

This essentially means that the fans may need to wait longer for any updates related to the TV series. At least until the project commences or the team reaches close to their date of production. Nevertheless, this extended timeline will only raise curiosity regarding what may happen next in the Mass Effect universe.
