Mass Effect 5 "isn't ready to suddenly have a team of 250, 300 people working on it" now Dragon Age: The Veilguard is done

Some BioWare staff who worked on Dragon Age: The Veilguard are now filtering over to Mass Effect 5, but others are being kept busy contributing to projects elsewhere within the wider EA organisation, Darrah said.

First announced in 2020, Mass Effect 5 (or whatever it ends up being called) has been worked on by a small team of original Mass Effect trilogy veterans within BioWare while the majority of the company has worked to get Dragon Age: The Veilguard out the door.

“Mass Effect isn’t ready to suddenly have a team of 250, 300 people working on it,” Darrah noted.
