Mass Effect 5 to Showcase Revolutionary Graphics

Addressing fan concerns regarding the visual style of the upcoming Mass Effect 5, project director Michael Gamble assures players that the game will retain its established photorealistic aesthetic and mature tone, unlike the stylistic shift seen in Dragon Age: Veilguard.

Maintaining the Mass Effect Legacy

Mass Effect 5, the next installment in the acclaimed sci-fi RPG series, will continue the mature storytelling and realistic visuals that defined the original trilogy. Gamble, in a series of tweets, directly addressed concerns sparked by Veilguard's seemingly different art style, emphasizing that while both games originate from BioWare, their visual approaches differ significantly due to genre and IP considerations. He explicitly stated that Mass Effect 5 will maintain the mature tone of its predecessors.

Addressing the "Pixar-like" comparisons to Veilguard, Gamble expressed uncertainty about that assessment. He confirmed that Mass Effect 5 will remain photorealistic, a commitment he intends to uphold throughout the development process.
