An “industry rumor” teases that the next Mass Effect game will move away from open-world and back to linear progression.
The next Mass Effect game may move away from open-world exploration.
That’s according to Windows Central’s Jez Corden, who said in the latest edition of his podcast, The Xbox Two Podcast, that BioWare was looking to move away from Mass Effect Andromeda’s open-world blueprint and pivot back to the franchise’s signature “classic format”.
In a discussion about Starfield and how Bethesda is both revered and jeered for sticking to what it knows best and following a particular blueprint, Corden reflected that in some cases – such as BioWare’s Mass Effect series – long-time fans would like nothing more than to have the team go back to its roots… and it is, according to “industry rumor”.
