Bringing Back Mass Effect Could Cost Over $200 Million

Fans of the Mass Effect franchise have been rallying lately to save the series after recent studio changes and project cancellations. BioWare co founder Trent Oster recently shared his thoughts on the movement, pointing out that reviving the property is not as simple as fans might hope.

Oster explained that creating a new entry that meets current standards for major games would be a huge investment. He estimated that a modern title in the series would likely cost over 200 million dollars to produce. This high price tag reflects the current realities of developing top tier games in the industry today.

While the passion from the community is clear, these financial hurdles make the future of the series uncertain. For now, fans are left waiting to see if Electronic Arts decides that the potential return on investment makes a new game worth the risk.
