Deadline has published an exclusive regarding one of the most important science fiction sagas in video games. According to the information they handle, Amazon Studios is close to reaching an agreement to develop a series based on Mass Effect, an Electronic Arts brand whose games are designed within BioWare. At the moment, there are no more details, beyond that Amazon intends to expand its offer in this genre, especially after the success of The Wheel of Time.
“We will continue investing in fantasy genre of all kinds. We have a team focused on gender within [Amazon] Studios that works tirelessly with our creative partners, ”Division Head Jennifer Salke told Deadline. The truth is that Amazon has one of the most recognized contemporary science fiction series, The Expanse. In addition, its Amazon Prime Video platform also has Star Trek: Picard.
Outside of science fiction, the most ambitious project of the North American giant is the adaptation of The Lord of the rings, which will arrive in the form of a television series on September 2, 2022. It is a plot prequel, set in both the book and Peter Jackson movie universe.
Heading for the new Mass Effect
After the failure of Mass Effect Andromeda, EA stopped all projects related to the saga, but the brand did not lie fallow for long. After releasing Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, the remastering of the trilogy, the team is already working on the next main chapter, which was introduced via a teaser trailer at The Game Awards 2020.
At the same time, BioWare is immersed in the development of the new Dragon Age, which has just lost its creative director, Matt Goldman.
