Unfortunately, just because it could get sold to another company besides EA, that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be better.

People said that about Square Enix selling Tomb Raider, and then the company that bought it did a terrible remaster using AI.

Yeah, all depends on who would buy it. But hey, maybe we end up in the good timeline were they get sold to someone like Owlcat or Larian... God I wish.

A real-time-with-pause/turn based mass effect. I can't think of a worse direction outside of maybe a mass effect racing game ;). Larian made dragona age though... Chefs kiss.

I think it could be great tbh, but we have Owlcat literally working a 3rd Person real-time combat RPG in the form of the Expanse Osiris. If that turns out well then just imagine the possibilities.

Not gonna lie - hadn't heard about that. Interesting. That's one to follow.

A turn based mass effect would actually be pretty great. Go the full opposite of what mass effect 2 was. I think this would add something that was missing in the combat in most of the games. The powers and abilities felt like they needed a way to target them better.

I could also see a xcom like game working very well in the mass effect universe.

Can't say I agree with the first bit, but was gonna suggest that there's totally scope for an xcom style game in the ME universe.

It gets sold to a developer that has done RPGs.

That developer is Bethesda studios.

Or it gets sold to a developer that has done shooters

That developer is Respawn (to delay Titanfall 3 and Jedi 3)
