With the recent N7 (7th November) celebrations, some teasers were put out about the next instalment of BioWare’s space-opera RPG.

To put together all the pieces of the puzzle, we have our Mass Effect 5 release date speculation, including a trailer and the latest news.

During the celebration, we had a new teaser trailer drop that is being thoroughly pored over by fans for any clues. BioWare themselves were up to some cryptic shenanigans, which we’ll go over in detail below.

Without spoiling too much, however, we have a wee (understatement) while to wait, so you might want to check out the upcoming games in 2023 and beyond to see what else might take your fancy over the next few years.

There is plenty to mull over, though, so take your time to make sure you don’t miss anything down below – it’s not like we’re pressed for time!

When is the Mass Effect 5 release date? Our speculation

We’re afraid to say that Mass Effect 5 is a long way off, and perhaps the most realistic estimation was given by Giant Bombs’s Jeff Grubb, who on the site’s Game Mess Mornings podcast (beginning at 28:30) said: “We’re talking 2029 for Mass Effect 5.”

This was drawn from Grubb’s insight into the development of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf.

“I was told that when they revealed Dragon Age Dreadwolf in 2018, this is similar in terms of timeline… That was announced in 2018 and we’re not getting that game until maybe next year.”
