The new year is a time for new beginnings, fresh starts, and rejuvenated spirits. It’s also a time for reflection.

As we look back on 2015, we want to thank you for being part of an incredible year. We saw the story and characters of Dragon Age: Inquisition mature and evolve, and travelled to undiscovered areas of Thedas in Jaws of Hakkon, The Descent, and Trespasser. An epilogue is something we’ve never done before at BioWare, and we were happy to share the closing chapter of Inquisition with you.

We were ecstatic to finally be able to give you a taste of what’s to come in Mass Effect: Andromeda at E3, and we got a real kick out of seeing how you reacted. Then on N7 Day we said goodbye to Commander Shepard and got ready for the road to Andromeda. This is our fourth year celebrating with Mass Effect fans, and each time we’ve been blown away by the love and support we receive from the community.

And whether we were out in the street or on the Web, we had a fantastic time talking with fans this past year. At conventions from coast to coast, we met countless people who told us stories that made us laugh, cry, and remember why we make games. We saw fantastic cosplay and even put on a fashion show full of brand-new items that we developed based on feedback from all of you. And every Friday morning, we sat down with you to play the latest Dragon Age multiplayer weekend challenge so you could carry us through it.

It’s been a fantastic year, and we look forward to what the new one will bring. We hope you’ll join us on our journey to Andromeda. From all of us at BioWare: thank you!
