Mass Effect 4 Won’t Be Xbox One Timed Exclusive, Development And Other Details Revealed – Insider Find out how long has the newest Mass Effect been in development. 

Bioware revealed some new information regarding its next Mass Effect game, tentatively titled Mass Effect 4 since no official name has been given to the project. While it seems we’re years away from any real concrete details, let-alone a release, NeoGAF insider shinobi602 had some rather interesting little bits of information to convey about the Frostbite 3-powered sci-fi epic.

In a discussion centred around the game’s release date and development period, he revealed that, “New Mass Effect began development sometime around Q3 2012…it’d be less than 4 years. Frostbite 3 is serving them very well actually. This isn’t coming to last generation systems, so they’re really wanting to genuinely make the game expansive. They’re also creating a completely new story, new gameplay mechanics, etc instead of continuing with a sequel ala the prior trilogy. It will take a little longer. I think the wait will be well worth it.”

After further confirmation that Mass Effect 4 would indeed not be out on previous gen platforms, shinobi602 stated that this wouldn’t be the same team that helped develop Mass Effect 1 to 3. That development team is apparently busy with a new IP these days though it doesn’t seem to be anything that’s been revealed till now such as Shadow Realms.

Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like the next game will be deviating much further from its roots. “It’s still third person.” Of course those roots also reveal the fact that the first two Mass Effect titles were exclusive to the Xbox 360 for some time before going multiplatform. With Microsoft buying up timed exclusivity for Rise of the Tomb Raider and acquiring the Minecraft franchise, is there even the slightest possibility that Mass Effect 4 is even a timed exclusive for the Xbox One?

According to shinobi602, there isn’t. “It’s not happening. 100%”

As usual this information must be taken with a grain of salt but shinobi602 has a solid track record. Mass Effect 4 is currently in development for the PS4, Xbox One and PC with Bioware revealing that it was still several years away from release. What are your thoughts on the game thus far? Let us know in the comments.

These guys probably read damn much The Fall of Reach, looked at each other and said: well, these fights are huge. And now, let's bring this scope into the multiplayer game. In fact, you can not bring the scope of a book into a video game - but you know what I'm trying to say here. 
That's all I can tell you in terms of size.

I just felt I clarify that my comment I made earlier in this thread really was just connected to the scope of a new mode introduced at some point. Again, a video game can hardly create scenarios that are described in books with thousands of words and it wasn't my intention to overhype things right now. It was important for me to add that here. Please keep that in mind and have a great night :)

Huge BTB?....Lol

He says new mode. Not btb. I think it's gunna be a large scale mode with 64 players, huge maps, classes. Something similar to battlefield.

I cant even imagine what they would be like in halo lol

How bout unsc vs covenant. Covenant would be simple will all the different species. Unsc would be a bit trickier cause the only 2 classes I can think of would be marines and odsts. But there would be pelicans, scarabs, hell drops ect. Maps being 3-6 times larger than btb maps. Idk it's just a thought but I don't see how something that big would work with 64 badass Spartans running around. I mean if as the covenant u start as a grunt or jackel and as u get kills or get points u can spend them on weapons, shields, species upgrade like to elite or brute. It could work as a human too but obviously they would have to make more classes. Odst probably being the top teir.

I didnt mean it in a bad way.  I think it would be awesome but i do love the idea of different species xD  Thats seriously a good idea.  I miss Elites being in MP
