Mass Effect may not be an open world after all according to industry insider. Well, this new development may just be genuine or false. But whichever way it gets to go, it just may be that the next Mass Effect game will move away from open-world exploration.
Mass Effect Open World
That is however according to Jez Corden of Windows Central, who stated in the latest edition of his podcast, The Xbox Two Podcast, that BioWare was at the time looking to move away from Mass Effect Andromeda’s open-world blueprint and then resort back to the signature “classic format” of the franchise.
In a discussion regarding Starfield and just how Bethesda is both revered and jeered for sticking to what it knows best and then following a particular blueprint, Corden, however, reflected that in some cases, such as the case with BioWare’s Mass Effect series, long-time fans of the franchise would like nothing more than to have the team in charge go back to its roots… and it is, according to “industry rumor”.
What Jez Corden of Windows Central Thinks About Mass Effect
“I’ve heard that Mass Effect is ditching open world,” Corden stated, “and going back to its classic format. I don’t know if that’s accurate, 100 percent, but it’s an industry rumor.”
And as for what that “classic format” is? Well, whilst players and gamers in question could follow the story as well as side missions at their own pace, the hub worlds of the trilogy gave the player quite a sense of freedom and agency but essentially also kept them on a simple and straight path. Andromeda on the other hand deviated away from this somewhat and, depending upon who you get to speak to, it was just one of the many reasons that Andromeda didn’t live up to the reported acclaim of its predecessors.
Mass Effect Andromeda Review
Mass Effect Andromeda for those that don’t know got a middling “Play It” from TechRadar when it was reviewed back in the day, but it was praised for its world, with experts saying that it was “huge, bigger than anything we’ve seen from Mass Effect before, and it’s beautiful too”.
“The original Mass Effect had cinematic ambitions, right down to the film grain option in the graphics menu,” Cat in their feature wrote, the queer love interests of Mass Effect walked so that today’s LGBTQ+ characters could run.
“Perhaps the jewel in the cinematic crown, however, was Mass Effect’s attempt at a more sophisticated exploration of relationships and sexualities. Some of Mass Effect’s relationships seem strained, almost forced by the standards of 2023.
“However, for its time, BioWare’s exploration of this space offered something truly novel – especially when it came to queer, feminist experiences.”
