The next Mass Effect game appears to use Unreal Engine, according to a new post by producer Brenon Holmes. Prior job listings for the game have also asked for Unreal Engine experience.

A return to Unreal Engine for the next Mass Effect game, which is in use in the original trilogy and the remastered Mass Effect Legendary Edition, would make a lot of sense.

For Mass Effect 5, EA and BioWare are strongly considering replacing Frostbite with Unreal Engine, according to multiple sources.

EA could be ditching its proprietary Frostbite Engine with the next Mass Effect for Unreal.
