Mass Effect 4 is “fresh yet recognisable” and already playable, says Bioware

Bioware has confirmed the next Mass Effect game is already in a playable condition and is coming along well.

According to Bioware General Manager Aaryn Flynn, Bioware is very pleased with the progress of Mass Effect 4 after a successful internet play test this week.

Flynn took to Twitter to tease fans with the new information on the highly anticipate Mass Effect 3 sequel.
