E3 is kicking off right now, and with it comes the hype for new information and reveals regarding all the biggest upcoming video games. One of the most highly anticipated games expected to appear this year is Mass Effect 4, and for good reason. 

The next instalment in the sci-fi adventure series is expected to drop sometime next year, which means now is the perfect time for the grand unveiling - especially seeing as there are a number of conferences it could debut at.

Given the less than positive reception to many aspects of the last game in the franchise, this years E3 is Bioware’s chance to show gamers that there is legitimate reason to be excited for Mass Effect again. So little is currently known about the game too, and yet despite this, promises of greatness have been made. If it is going to be released as early as next year, now is the time to officially get the hype machine ticking over.

So, how much of Mass Effect 4 can we truly expect to see at this year’s E3? No one truly knows, but the hope is that Bioware will reveal something worth talking about. These are just some of the things we hope to see regarding Mass Effect 4 at E3 this week.


10. Trailer & Release Date

One of the most obvious things that should be revealed at E3 is a trailer and official release date. Right now all that is known is that Bioware is shooting for a release sometime next year, but of course that isn’t specific enough. A year is a relatively short time, so if Mass Effect 4 is going to come out next year, it’s time for an official release date.

Accompanying an official release should be a trailer that effectively shows off the direction this new game is going. A glimpse of the story, the characters, and the various gameplay elements should all come together to create an epic trailer that gets the blood pumping.

This outcome seems like a given that this point, so much so that it will be a disappointing surprise if we don’t get one - especially seeing as Bethesda just rocked the boat with a November 2015 announcement.
