Hmmm, what is BioWare up to? We’re already far too excited about tonight’s PlayStation event (opens in new tab) without more teases. First up on the ‘guilty of tantalising hints’ list is Mass Effect creative director Mac Walters. When a BioFan tweeted that “something may *or* may not be going down at the Sony press conference” Walters tweeted the below.  

I love your commitment to ambiguity and I wholeheartedly support it… But stay tuned. Just in case. https://t.co/4HkbQzQxecSeptember 7, 2016

“Just in case” eh? He then retweeted a post from BioWare designer and artist Alistair McNally who is….

Really, REALLY excited for the Sony PlayStation press conference tomorrow. Some surprises are in store I expect.September 6, 2016

McNally then followed this Tweet up with a post about changing his avatar and background which are now, interestingly, Dragon Age themed. This might be a humourous attempt to throw us off track though as Mass Effect Andromeda (opens in new tab) producer Michael Gamble just had the below to say. 

Oh, God. Tomorrow is 7th, isn’t it?September 7, 2016

Now, what could all this mean? Popping on some speculation goggles for a sec, it could very well be BioWare getting excited to show off what Mass Effect Andromeda looks like on the new version of the PS4. New footage is definitely imminent as we didn’t exactly get much from EA’s E3 showing. What better way to show off than even prettier visuals?

Either that or will this be the studio’s first VR announcement? Bethesda is in with Doom (opens in new tab) and Fallout 4 (opens in new tab) so with PlayStation VR clearly a big focus tonight, this would be a perfect time to reveal a virtual reality offering. 

There’s also the will they/won’t they argument regarding Mass Effect trilogy remasters (opens in new tab) to contend with. Whatever BioWare’s up to, we won’t have long to wait. The Sony event is at 8pm GMT/3pm ET/12pm PT today.
