Baldur's Gate was always owned by WotC, it was a licensed DnD game. They just gave the license to Larian to develop 3 since Bioware wasn't up to it anymore.

Mass Effect is owned by EA. They may task some other internal studio with developing a followup sometime in the future, but I honestly doubt it. They almost certainly will never sell or even license it.

That said, the upcoming Expanse game looks fairly Mass Effect-coded, and Exodus) is effectively a spiritual successor to ME, even having a number of the key developers who were responsible for ME 1 and 2.

yeah but as much as I am looking forward to those games, they just aren't Mass Effect. It is such a shame to waste this amazing universe.

Just like all the other IP that EA has bought and shelved over the decades.
