EA and Bioware have issued a statement to say that all support for the single player Mass Effect: Andromenda has now ceased.
The update thanks players for their support and does mention there will be a team still working on the multiplayer. This now means that no DLC for the game will be released despite EA claiming the game was a financial success during their last financial statement.
Mass Effect: Andromeda did not have a good start and was plagued with bugs with the worst eventually being ironed out in the last patch. The full statement reads:
Since the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda, we’ve worked hard to address feedback from our community. From improving animations to expanding customization options, we looked to respond to your concerns, and build on what you loved.
With each patch, you let us know we were heading in the right direction, and we’re grateful to everyone who joined us on this journey. We’re proud of what we created, and we hope you enjoyed it as well.
Early in development, we decided to focus Mass Effect: Andromeda’s story on the Pathfinder, the exploration of the Andromeda galaxy, and the conflict with the Archon. The game was designed to further expand on the Pathfinder’s journey through this new galaxy with story-based APEX multiplayer missions and we will continue to tell stories in the Andromeda Galaxy through our upcoming comics and novels, including the fate of the quarian ark.
Our last update, 1.10, was the final update for Mass Effect: Andromeda. There are no planned future patches for single-player or in-game story content.
In the coming weeks, our multiplayer team will provide details of their ongoing support and upcoming content, including new multiplayer missions, character kits, and what’s in store for N7 Day.
We appreciate all the millions of people who came with us to the Andromeda galaxy. We hope to see you again in the Mass Effect universe.
What happens now with this once popular franchise remains to be seen but it’s unlikely a new Mass Effect title will appear for some time.
