Mass Effect fans, rejoice! There are three major contenders for Shepard's helmet currently on their way. Alongside the actual next Mass Effect, we have Exodus from ex-BioWare devs, and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a very BioWare-esque take on the popular Amazon Prime series. But which one of these really has the juice, the full warp core required to impress fans of the now classic Mass Effect trilogy? Well, it's difficult to day having only played a short beta of one of them, but here's a full analysis of what we know about each project and its likelihood to deliver the space goods. Mass Effect 5 release date isn't confirmed but it's believed to be headed our way in 2028, meanwhile The Expanse: Osiris Reborn and Exodus are both planned to release in Q1 of next year, meaning Mass Effect fans will be eating very well over the next couple of years and may even be spoiled for choice. But is The Expanse like Mass Effect? And is Exodus a Mass Effect game? Will they release on next gen consoles such as the PS6?If you'd like to see more of Jim's video features, check out The Trinca Perspective playlist!
