Dragon Age: The Veilguard is here to satisfy one half of BioWare's rabid fanbase, but what of Mass Effect 5? If you were hoping for a big update on the sci-fi RPG this N7 Day, you should maybe place your expectations this year, as BioWare warns things are going to be a bit "quieter" this year.

"We hope everyone is enjoying their time in Dragon Age: The Veilguard," BioWare says in a tweet. "It’s only a few days until N7 Day and this year will be quieter because of launch. Be sure to check back then for a little fun, though!" N7 Day is, of course, on November 7, and a reference to the N7 military rank that appears in the series. It's become quite a date for BioWare to share news with series fans

If BioWare's downplaying this year's N7 Day already, I'd have to guess that the studio's not planning any big teaser for Mass Effect 5, though what that "little fun" might be remains to be seen. Mass Effect 5 was reportedly still in pre-production as of earlier this year, and there's only so much concept art you can show to people.
