Mass Effect 4: 10 Most Believable Rumours You Need To Know

7. Release Date As 2016

Following the Comicon panel of last year the general vibe around Mass Effect went from "Holy crap there's another one coming, did you see that character?! Was that Wrex?!" to "Yeah, it'll get here when it's ready." Basically Bioware might have put out a teaser alluding to something coming relatively soon - otherwise why bother releasing a teaser on such a grand stage? - but following that the designers have been very forthright in making sure fans know development is underway, but in its most furtive stages. Right now the panel at Comicon went as far as to say release would be "years away." Still, for now many press outlets have ran with 2016 as the assumed date it'll drop, but to be honest even if Bioware went full steam ahead from today it's highly unlikely they'd be able to craft an entire galaxy in a year's time, despite NeoGAF commenter Shinobi602's insider knowledge saying it's "100% coming next year." Look to 2015 to provide more screenshots, early rendered in-game assets and plenty of hype-building conversations as the team continue to analyse and interpret the extremely divisive feedback they've received since the end of three changed everything.
