Don't expect a big Mass Effect reveal this week: BioWare says N7 Day will be 'quieter' than previous years

We know BioWare is working on a new Mass Effect game: It's been teasing it since at least 2021 with cryptic tweets and video clips that, for some of us, have led more to aggravation than anticipation.
