Throughout the very best of instances, N7 Day is BioWare’s annual Mass Impact celebration. Typically the studio teases what’s to return in its science fiction universe with concept art or cinematic trailers, however this yr sounds prefer it’s going to be a bit quieter. For those who’ve been listening to all of the turmoil at the studio in recent years, that’s most likely not shocking, however BioWare is assuring followers that Mass Impact 5 continues to be in growth and is the studio’s main focus.
In a post on the studio’s blog, Mass Impact government producer Mike Gamble addressed followers, kind of telling them the crew doesn’t have a lot to point out this November 7. I suppose that’s what occurs typically once you make an official group day; even once you’re not in a spot to point out one thing off, you’ve gotta say one thing publicly.
“Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately,” Gamble writes. “You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s subsequent. So let’s begin by setting the report straight: the following Mass Impact recreation is in growth, and EA and BioWare stay dedicated to telling extra tales on this universe.
“The truth is, the last few years have been an incredibly busy time at BioWare. But currently, the team is heads-down and focused exclusively on Mass Effect. We have a lot of universe to cover, lots of features to build, and lots of romances to figure out. We’re excited by what we’re building, and we promise you: when we’re ready, it’ll be a lot of fun to show. Until then, thank you for your patience because y’all are thirsty for news and I see you looking for secret meaning in my tweets (okay, sometimes they have secret meaning).”
Nonetheless, regardless of Gamble’s suggestion that the crew could not have a lot to point out off for a while, there is perhaps some extra substantial teases coming. The weblog submit has a bunch of random italicized letters that, when remoted, spell “url krogan.” Krogan are one of many alien species within the Mass Impact universe, but it surely’s unclear at this level what this is perhaps teasing. Little question followers will probably be working to piece issues collectively because the day goes on.
Past the following recreation, Gamble does verify one thing vital about one other Mass Impact undertaking: the Amazon TV adaptation. After rumors and hypothesis circulated on the web that the present is perhaps a retread of the unique trilogy’s story, Gamble confirmed that it gained’t be, and thank god for that.
“The writers room is going strong, and we’ve got a lot figured out about how it fits within the Mass Effect canon, and where it sits in respect to the new game,” Gamble writes. “The show will explore a brand-new story within the universe’s timeline, and will be set after the original trilogy. It won’t be a retread of Commander Shepard’s story – because after all … that’s YOUR story, isn’t it?”
Mass Impact growth could also be ongoing, however BioWare’s pivot right into a one-game studio after EA made drastic cuts to the corporate’s employees implies that Dragon Age is probably going in limbo. The Veilguard ended with a cliffhanger in its post-credits scene, however much of the talent behind that series has been scattered throughout different EA studios or left the corporate completely.
Replace, 11/7/25, 1:10 p.m. EST: Followers have discovered what look like two hidden YouTube hyperlinks within the HTML of the submit. One among them is an old Mass Effect 3 trailer for the game’s multiplayer mode, the opposite is a private video. What might it imply? Some are speculating this might imply the Mass Impact: Legendary Version remaster assortment could lastly get ME3‘s cooperative multiplayer mode that was absent from the 2021 package, but that’s simply hypothesis at this level.
It appears like there’s a hidden secret on this N7 DAY 2025 weblog…

Replace, 11/7/25, 1:36 p.m. EST: BioWare has posted a url on its social feeds, however has redacted a part of it. The url is “https://www.masseffect[dot]com/[ERROR A20N7S12],” so it looks like one thing is being posted on the official Mass Impact website as we speak, however we nonetheless don’t know what but. Followers try to see if there’s any that means within the error message, and if anybody comes up with something we’ll you should definitely replace this story.

Replace, 11/7/25, 2:04 p.m. EST: Followers have managed to search out concept art for a Krogan civil war by altering the letters from the error message to corresponding numbers and rearranging them. Proper now, we don’t know if this artwork depicts earlier Krogan infighting within the franchise, or one thing after the occasions of Mass Impact 3. If it is a tease for Mass Impact 5, it might imply some type of battle happened between members of the Krogan civilization within the 600 years between Mass Impact 3 and Andromeda. The Krogan seen within the artwork doesn’t seem like any of the key gamers from the sequence, both. So it’s onerous to glean a lot from this simply but. We’ll see if BioWare has any extra teases all through the day.
Replace, 11/7/25, 2:23 p.m. EST: Gamble has confirmed the Krogan Civil Warfare depicted within the artwork is a future occasion after the occasions of Mass Impact 3, slightly than one thing from the species’ earlier historical past. Huge infighting is an actual miserable end result for the Krogan after every little thing they went by way of within the authentic trilogy, particularly when some choices the participant made might have left them on a hopeful notice. Guess we’ll see what occurred in Mass Impact 5.
Future.
