Details for the upcoming Mass Effect title remain sparse, but BioWare has confirmed that unlike the first three games, it will very much focus on exploration–seeing larger, open environments compared to any previous game in the series. To that end, they'll be implementing the Mako, the vehicle from the first Mass Effect, into the game.
We'll be keeping you up to date on any details relating to the next Mass Effect as the information becomes available, so stay tuned.
The game will likely be properly revealed at E3 2015 for the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4–unless EA decides to go with platform exclusivity for some reason.
