There have been persistent Mass Effect Trilogy remaster rumours for quite some time now. Evidence seemingly popped up earlier this year with the announcement of a newly updated Mass Effect art book, but we’re now heading towards late 2020 with no official announcement from EA. Apparently, the remaster is still …

Typically when EA releases a behind the scenes teaser for a game rather than a proper trailer, we see a lot of moans and groans. This year though, BioWare has been very quiet and we know that the next Dragon Age game is still a couple of years away. With …

Ever since the launch of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One back in 2013, fans have been clamouring for a remaster of the Mass Effect Trilogy. While rumours of its existence have been circling for what feels like forever, the elusive remaster might finally be arriving in October – as …

While BioWare did not have much of a presence during last night’s EA Play stream, there may have been a sneaky tease for Dragon Age fans. Anthem, Mass Effect and Dragon Age weren’t specifically mentioned during the show, but a next-gen console teaser-reel appears to have at least something for …

We know that Anthem has been in a process of reinventing itself since late last year, and this was confirmed by Bioware in February 2020. We’ve not had any further updates on the subject since – until now. Anthem Next is still under development, but it will take a while to be …

Just a couple of weeks ago, Archetype Entertainment officially made its name public, combining the talents of notable former BioWare and Naughty Dog devs on a mission to create a brand new sci-fi RPG. We already knew that Mass Effect and KOTOR writer, Drew Karpyshyn, is involved with the project, …

We are approaching the one year anniversary of Anthem’s launch and over the last year, not much about the game has changed. First-year DLC plans were scrapped so that BioWare could quietly re-develop the game’s core systems and deliver on initial promises better. Now after a lengthy period of silence, …

Over the last few years, Ubisoft has been trying something new with the Assassin’s Creed franchise, pushing the series into RPG territory.

It can be easy to forget that BioWare actually came out with a game this year. Anthem didn’t end up living up to its ‘evolving world’ live service promises but in an effort to overhaul the game, BioWare has a new, smaller seasonal content update plan in place to fill …

BioWare kicked off 2019 with the launch of Anthem, a brand new IP with a promising premise and fun looking gameplay.

Just over six months on from launch, Bioware’s troubled ‘live service’ shooter, Anthem, is joining EA Access and Origin Access Basic.
