N7 Day, the annual celebration of the Mass Effect series, is set to occur on November 7. Historically, this day has seen BioWare drop hints or announcements about the franchise, and with a new game in development, fans are eager to see what might be revealed. In a recent statement, BioWare tried to manage expectations, indicating that this N7 Day will be "quieter" due to the recent launch of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Despite the lowered expectations, BioWare hinted that they have "a little fun" planned for N7 Day. In 2023, the studio marked the occasion with a series of cryptic teasers for the upcoming Mass Effect game, though they didn't provide much substance. The previous year, BioWare released a cryptic piece of concept art, and in 2021, another mysterious art piece suggested the return of the Geth.
BioWare has confirmed that it is not developing any expansions for The Veilguard and is instead focusing on the next Mass Effect game. While details about the upcoming game are scarce, it is known that the game's executive producer, art director, creative director, and game director are all veterans of the original Mass Effect trilogy. The next Mass Effect game was announced in 2020, meaning it has been in development for several years.
The Mass Effect series first launched in 2007, with two main sequels, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3, following. Mass Effect: Andromeda was released in 2017 but did not receive the same acclaim as its predecessors, facing criticism for its story, character animations, and quest design. BioWare's subsequent game, Anthem, also failed to resonate with fans. The highlight of the series is generally considered to be Mass Effect 2, which received a 9/10 rating in GameSpot's review.
