BioWare tells fans that Mass Effect’s N7 day will be “quieter.”

Key Takeaways

Don’t start planning your Mass Effect N7 Day celebration just yet.
BioWare revealed on Twitter that this year’s N7 Day will be “quieter” due to the recent launch of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Still, the studio notes that there will be “a little fun,” whatever that means.

November 7 is just around the corner and every video game fan knows what that means: N7 Day. But if you were hoping that N7 Day 2024 would be ripe for Mass Effect 5 teases or new information, think again.

Mass Effect Series: Every Ending Explained

The Mass Effect titles are known for their multiple endings. Today we’re unpacking each Mass Effect ending and discussing which ones are canon.

That’s because, ahead of N7 Day on Thursday, BioWare has come out and asked fans to temper their expectations. The EA studio just launched Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the highly anticipated next installment in the Dragon Age series, and isn’t quite ready to talk about Mass Effect so soon.

Via Twitter, BioWare warned that this year will be “quieter” due to the recent launch of The Veilguard. It’s not like N7 Day will be empty, however, as BioWare also noted that there will be “a little fun.”

Mass Effect 5, however, is the focus

While N7 Day doesn’t seem to be as impactful, it’s not like Mass Effect 5 isn’t the focus. In fact, in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, BioWare revealed that it has no major DLC plans for The Veilguard. Instead, the studio will turn its attention to Mass Effect 5.

But as IGN noted in a follow-up report, BioWare will still be making quality-of-life improvements, as well as smaller updates, which will take some of their attention. Still, now that The Veilguard is finally out, it seems like the Mass Effect 5 hype train is about ready to take off. This coincides with previous reports about the mature tone and photorealistic quality of the game. So while there won’t be a big celebration this N7 Day, that doesn’t mean the next one won’t be big. All signs point to that.
