The next Mass Effect game, which we got early glimpses of on N7 Day, is now in an early playable form. The title is in development at BioWare’s Montreal studio, and the details of its plot are still unknown.

The news comes by way of Aaryn Flynn, general manager for BioWare’s Edmonton and Montreal studios.

Great time playing the next Mass Effect game in Montreal. Ambitious. Beautiful. Fresh but recognizable. And fun! pic.twitter.com/xHlHFGtVKM — AaryN7 FlynN7 (@AarynFlynn) December 18, 2013

We’re eager to learn more, but we don’t expect EA and BioWare to go all in on Mass Effect publicity until after Dragon Age Inquisition is closer to launch next year. For more on that game, check out our coverage from September 2013.

Our Take

The next Mass Effect game is far enough along that it’s not only playable, but developed enough that Flynn is making some exciting promises. We’re eager to learn more about the new Mass Effect and whatever new IP Flynn mentions in his Twitter bio.
