no, you are not. and once i knew that was not the case i'd hoped they'd reconsider. i'd hoped i didn't put nearly 600 hours into several ryders to have them simply become one-offs. that would not make me happy.

Guess that would not make no-one happy ... or too excited about another ME game, that will be released eventually.
Mass Effect is Bioware's EA's own property, no-one abandons such an IP easily because ME set a high standard (for which we love it) that is hard to reach.
And If anybody thinks the Mass Effect community is overly critical, I know lots of Star Wars fans that cannot be reasoned with about any release after 1998.
So let's have faith! Potential is definitely promising!
So I pre-ordered MassEffect: Lost Ark Audiobook.
The description is interesting. In my mind, it shows that BioWare has date obligations to other distributors for spin-off material. ME:A - Nexus Uprising (Prequel) was released on the same day as the game, which shows coordination The release date for the DLC book is hard to nail down. I've seen June 27th (paperback) July 3rd Audiobook and my order date is Dec 5th audiobook.
"With a new game, Mass Effect Andromeda, set for release in 2017, the launch of a new series of Mass Effect novels is timely. The new game will take the story in a dramatic new direction and is set in a new region of space, with a new and deadly enemy.
Titan is publishing four unmissable Mass Effect novels. The novels will act as prequel and sequels to the events in the games and will become part of the overarching Mass Effect saga. These new stories, developed in close collaboration with the Bioware game team, weave directly into the action of the new game - and will reveal events kept secret over the course of game play - and will add to the canonical Mass Effect saga."
So... there is a slice of hope for you all.
I hope you don't have to wait them patching the audiobooks as well. 😳

Maybe they had to rush ME:A to release so that it launched at the same time as the audiobook... which is why there were bugs. 😮
Seriously though, games with books or based on books are 10 times better when you read (or listen) to the books. The Witcher series is another prime example.
ME:A Nexus Uprising Audiobook is read by Fryda Wolff, so it sounds like Ryder is telling the story.

'Will reveal events kept secret over the series of game play' this is BS tbh, release secrets in game form for a game or not at all! Not everyone is big on reading.. if it relates to in game important details don't put it in a * book.. even those happy to read would rather play that * then read it."Lost Ark?"
Okay that has to be about the Quarian Ark or call me a pyjak
Question is...
- Will this be as Nexus Uprising was to the main game, and we'll see its conclusion in a DLC where we "bring the Quarian Ark home"
- or
- We'll never see Quarians and just get an audiobook that ties into the lore and... done?
But the fact that the game stuff is released in-sync with the extra content (novels and/or audiobooks) suggests the first option.
(yeah, the title was new to me-- wasn't following the tie-in content so far)
