Mass Effect 5 pre-production is still ongoing, but Bioware says the next entry in the RPG series is already "bringing the deep franchise history forward in a spectacular new way."
This brief status report was actually part of the studio's statement on the future of Star Wars: The Old Republic, the aging MMO which the studio has now confirmed is being passed to developer Broadsword. Bioware reiterated its "renewed focus on our two key franchises: Dragon Age and Mass Effect," and offered a brief update on its goals there.
