No DLC for Andromeda?

it TRULY does feel like its not even a bioware game right? like they got some third rate ukranian studio to develop it and slapped a bioware logo on the box/splash screen (sort of like what once happened with flatout 3). i mean.. if you are known for dropping games of the highest quality and depth would YOU put your name on this thing?

That's your opinion, but it feels very Mass Effect, even if the science is a bit softer around the edges. Heck, it's way more what we expect of ME than ME1 was.

I read the article and what it doesnt say is ' andromeda is not on hold.'

Its just an attempt at PR. Having hopes for a future doesn't mean there will be one. Rumors hold true until they give us something concrete- like dlc or expansion announced

Glad I don't live in your world. Rumours aren't true without proof in mine.

But....  since you like them. BioWare Edmonton will be starting on an ME:A sequel by the end of 2017.

Yeah well thats on bioware and EA for the fact that they haven't dispelled the rumor of MEA being on hold with the simplest of responses - saying that it isn't. Otherwise the rumor becomes less rumor and more facts- right now the game is on hiatus with only minimum support remaining.

Dev tweets like 'we will still deliver what we promised.' Doesn't do much to dispell the 'rumor' either since it basically confirms it.

Did you read the article?

Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson told investors that the publisher is “very happy with how BioWare is doing, how BioWare is treating Mass Effect. And our expectations for Mass Effect are still strong for the future and the franchise overall.” 

 

Or were you expecting a ME:A2 release date and trailer?

What if there is no DLC and the next game continues the current story?

The game is only a couple months old. Relax.

Sheesh. You should go check out what UbiSoft is doing with 'The Division' if you think BioWare is dropping the ball.

It gives a 3rd party quote of what someone supposedly said at an investor meeting. 

That's really supposed to ease my mind set?

Since this article was published, fans of the series have been crazy with conjecture and EA has not said a word about it. Rumors are swirling and EA's mouthpieces are off hiding in a bunker somewhere.. that tells me that the article is sadly far more credible then some of us want to believe.

Now, if they release a statement and assure people that they aren't abandoning the franchise or the idea of DLC for Andromeda, then yes.. I'll take assurance in that. Until then, their silence only serves to amplify and confirm the fears and concerns of it's customer base. To be clear, I very much want to be wrong here. I want DLC for Andromeda and I want more Mass Effect games in the future. I LOVE this series, and am very unhappy at the possibility of it being put on the shelf.

But when rumors are swirling everywhere and EA won't even try to address them, it doesn't fill me with confidence. If the report was completely untrue or exaggerated, I would think they would have done an immediate press release to clarify that it's false. Instead, they have gone to ground and hid from the customer base.

Not a good sign.

i agree , we need to wait a bit so we can enjoy dlc. the game is less than 3 months old it takes a little time for these things to be made , i am big MEA fan and i am willing to wait for dlc to come out

I find it humous that you think that the EA / BioWare Marketing Department should be working on your schedule.

@TKMcClone at this point its debatable if they are "working" AT ALL!

I find it humorous that you mis-understood my post.

Good day then, we both got a good laugh. 

It is great to see how EA/BioWare is ignoring all of this instead of giving out a statement

Well, a commitment to DLCs and a schedule would be more than just a nice to have.

It is essential, EA!

I mean EA was criticized for their DLCs strategy: mostly good quality but rather short and expensive (in relation to the actual playing time).

Anyway DLCs are the cash cow, NOT the main games (always in perspective of production costs).

And not even the story DLCs (Citadel DLC, LotSB, etc) but the cosmetic and weapon DLCs. And if even those aren't announced yet ... if the cash cows are forfeited ...

If EA really avoids announcing the first DLC soon than ME:A is considered a failure by EA aka dead.

I paid much more for all the DLCs of the ME: trilogy than for the main games (and I bought ME:3 at about release) ... and I never regretted it.
