Fans waiting for Mass Effect 5 are going to be really happy following news from the developers themselves.
There’s an awful lot riding on the next Mass Effect, after all it’s been an agonising seven year wait since Mass Effect: Andromeda came out, and it was such a let-down too due to all the bugs and glitches hindering performance.

While fans still have quite a wait ahead of them due to BioWare focusing on Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which got its official release date yesterday, they’re confident Mass Effect 5 will be a different story.
They’re especially confident now after one of the developers spoke about the team behind the game, and the level of quality the team is striving for with the new release.
BioWare veteran and Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s creative director John Epler recently spoke to Edge magazine about the upcoming title, briefly touching on projects beyond the new Dragon Age game.
Epler described BioWare as "a studio that has always been built around digging deep on storytelling and roleplaying."
The conversation shifted towards Anthem, a complete disaster for BioWare and EA that was incredibly rushed in its development and was abandoned after its release.
Epler doesn’t believe the next few BioWare games will make the same mistake, saying “I'm proud of a lot of things on Anthem … But at the end of the day we were building a game focused on something we were not necessarily proficient at. For me and the team, the biggest lesson was to know what you're good at and then double down on it. Don't spread yourself too thin. Don't try to do a bunch of different things you don't have the expertise to do."
This is great news, because if BioWare knows anything it’s how to make a decent Mass Effect game, so it sounds like Mass Effect 5 is still in good hands, have no fear.
