With the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard on the horizon, one of the core questions is what BioWare’s future looks like. After two staggering failures in Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem, it’s clear that a lot is riding on Veilguard, but it’s not the only game on the way as we’ve seen some brief snippets and details on Mass Effect 5. With the launch of the highly-stylized Veilguard, BioWare executive producer Michael Gamble assuaged some fans’ fears — the next Mass Effect will still retain the tone and style of the beloved series.
One of the biggest and most obvious changes with Veilguard is its art style, which certainly feels a bit more stylized and almost cartoony, than the previous game Inquisition. It’s not entirely surprising, however, as every single Dragon Age has had a massive change in visual style, and Veilguard falls pretty well in line with the aesthetics of Dragon Age 2. But Mass Effect has never done that, it’s pretty staunchly stuck to its sci-fi trappings the whole time.
