Next Mass Effect to use Unreal Engine

The next Mass Effect game appears to run on some version of Unreal Engine, according to a post on Twitter by Brenon Holmes, a producer working on the game. This was previously implied past a BioWare task description, which asked for experience with Unreal Engine iv, or newer versions of the engine.

Job descriptions do sometimes ask for experience with engines that won't necessarily be used on a game, since there can exist overlap in sets of skills. With that in mind, the continued focus on Unreal Engine in BioWare's hiring makes information technology fairly clear the game will utilise some class of Ballsy Games' engine.

BioWare is besides currently working on Dragon Age four, which is rumored to be aimed for a launch in 2023. The next Mass Effect is earlier in evolution than Dragon Age 4, with sources close to the production telling Windows Central the game is likely to make it in 2024 at the earliest, with a launch further out being more than probable. As such, it's fairly likely (though still unconfirmed) the game will specifically use Unreal Engine 5.

The original Mass Event trilogy used Unreal Engine three, equally does the recent remaster collection, Mass Upshot: Legendary Edition. For Mass Outcome: Andromeda, BioWare swapped to Electronic Arts' Frostbite engine as part of a push on the behalf of the publisher to have every internal studio using Frostbite. The squad's lack of familiarity with the engine was cited as a reason for Mass Effect: Andromeda'southward troubled development cycle.

This corporate push is no longer in place, largely due to the efforts of developer Respawn Amusement, which used Unreal Engine four to develop Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which reached over x million players as of May 2022.
