    The only ones that can answer your question are the people at Electronic Arts/Bioware.


    They have made it quite clear so far that they have no intention of communicating with the player base when it comes to this issue.

    It doesn't matter what type of answer you get here, they're all nothing but guesses. Yes, some are based on trends and evidence, which is a good thing.. but no one knows for sure. Until EA decides to finally act like a real company and talk to it's customers.. you won't get an answer to this question.

    Best advice is keep doing what you're doing. Keep asking, keep trying to pressure EA to address this issue for it's player base.

so ya I really think there's so much unexplored in Andromeda that there is no need what so ever to fall back on things that were in the original trilogy

and well A DLC might only show us a glimpse 

so I have no doubt there will be A ME;A 2 (or what ever it will be called) but it will not be any time soon, and I wonder if I would want another ME from the Montreal team considering all the issues

if I was deciding I would give it back to Edmonton and maybe that is exactly what is happening with it 

since  Edmonton is working on the New IP and after that they might start either on DA4 (if they aren't working on it yet)  or ME:A2 

and as with Elderscrolls  it is a project that will take at least 4 -5 years  just like Andromeda has so I won't expect a new ME for at least 4 -5  years or so 

DLC ? well at least I expect 1 or 2 Story DLC  either delving deeper into open  story lines or just finishing them 

as for Reyes I expect it to end in some minor side quest in a DLC where he either gets captured or Killed by Ryder(that means you) or by Sloane (lol I want to see the wannabe shadowbrokers head on a spike) that  way I don't have to deal with him in a next DLC or Game 

and ya I can go on and on, on potential DLC  like  Benefactor  = Shadowbroker = Liara (considering she knows about  the Andromeda project and her seeding  pods with Reaper / Crucible info at the end of ME3 incase they failed to beat the Reapers ) but I wont  and I have  a lot more theory's on what DLC or even Next game could  be focusing on but I wont

What's important to me right now is (if all goes well) that we're maybe going to see the rest of the MW races arriving in Andromeda so that it's gonna start to feel like an old ME again.

Considering MEA sequel, I'd like to see maybe a little timeskip (5-10 years) and how our choices'll effect Heleus cluster, especially with all those new outposts and viable planets. 

When it comes to development of potential sequel, I believe BW Edmonton'll give more guidance to Montreal this time unless there is no sequel or the project'll be moved right to them.

Then the development process might take about 2-3 years to deliver another game because the core system and assets're already built and they're just gonna add more content to it and possibly make some changes to game mechanics but I don't think it's necessary to completely rebuild it or even rewrite whole story (I'd just replace consumables with ammo system from OT 😃) because the game and story was just fine for me except some small bugs which're mostly fixed by now... 

Of course, that's just my opinion. 🙂

I'm really glad for all they've done so far and I'm staying positive because I believe most people'll eventually love this game and possibly it's sequels 🙂

True. I think most people love this game, and it's got great potential for a trilogy. And the other person is right in saying there's no such thing as a perfect 100% game. As I stated before, I've played the Witcher 3 two times and loved it.. But it two had its bugs, so the next game needs to take as long as it needs. Add content to ME:A over the next year or so in dlc and more patches, then hopefully the new game will be out in 3-4 years (or as long as they need). You simply cannot just abandon a series like this with its huge fan base, and the face that you could literally make tons of sequels and prequels with the amount of stories there is to tell. I mean there's 13 different species, 14 now with the angara and 15 with the Kent. And that's without whatever species there will be in the rest of Andromeda! Each species has its own incredible history like the Turians, Asari, Salerian, the Kogan and the Gethsemane and of course.... Us. The Quarians and Geth wars would make a excellent prequel game. Turian Unification war and going even further..... The Asari first contact with the Citadel would make a good game as you could experience the councils first contact with the Salerians and Vorcha and Turians, then end it with the Turians encounter with Us. Which could lead into the First contact wars. I mean you could go on forever really.... But whatever BioWare does next, just no that you have some amazing followers who are loyal to Mass Effect. And we can't wait for whatever you have install for us next 😯🎮

    Personally I am thinking they tried to make Andromeda bigger and better than the previous ME games. Those were rather large shoes to fill and they may have bit off more than they could chew. Understandable, when younhave such large shoes - you want to do bigger and better the next time. If EA was more flexible with time, they may have pulled it off. The potential is totally there, the execution fell short and is now being cleaned up.

    However, its much easier once the games there and made to 'add' to that engine later with sequels so I dare say we will see a smoother ride for the sequels, should they come our way. Also for any dlc. So we shall see, hopefully this isn't the end of it. So many questions and such a large potential for more exploration with new characters and worlds.
