Recently, BioWare posted a new job opportunity located in its Edmonton office. As detailed in the post, the Technical Director will be the most senior engineering lead on the next major title of one of BioWare’s most prestigious franchises. While the post in no way name drops any IP such as Mass Effect, it’s easy to speculate based on what the developer is currently working on.

It’s highly unlikely that this job listing is referencing Dragon Age 4 as that game has previously been announced so the need for secrecy is quite low. The same can be said for Anthem. While the game is likely on maintenance mode for now having recently given up on the seasonal updates, BioWare previously announced that it isn’t giving up on the game and is instead completely redesigning the experience. Therefore, it’s also likely that any job listing associated with Anthem would have clearly indicated it in the description.

The post doesn’t specifically say anything about a new IP either so that simply leaves the Mass Effect franchise as the most realistic choice. The speculation fits in line with recent events as BioWare also always maintained that it isn’t done with Mass Effect. In fact, a few months ago, a new report came out that former Anthem Producer, Mike Gamble, had shifted over to the directors chair for a brand new Mass Effect game. Earlier in January, BioWare’s Twitter account even dropped a new teaser out of no where referencing Mass Relays and the opening crawl from the first game.

While a return to the Mass Effect franchise in general should please longtime fans, many still continue to hold out hope that a Remastered version of the first three games is also planned. It’s entirely possible that the heavily requested game could be on the way as the development could be handed over to a studio with a proven track record with ports and remasters such as BluePoint. That way, BioWare remains free to work on other games like Dragon Age 4, the Anthem overhaul, and the possible Mass Effect 4.
