Fans were a bit discerned to not hear anything on Bioware's anticipated release of 'Mass Effect 4' at EA's latest earning calls.

A number of other titles were mentioned, including 'Mirror's Edge 2' and 'Titanfall 2,' both of which look to be released later in the year of 2016.

This leads most fans to believe that the news will likely arrive to us at EA's E3 press conference on June 15^th, complete with details and a confirmed release date. This may still not mean very much, as Bioware exercises a habit of delaying a lot of their popular titles, such as 'Mass Effect 3' and 'Dragon Age Inquisition.'

"However, EA did state that they have unannounced games in development for release by March 31st, 2016 and there have been suggestions that a Mass Effect collection bringing together the first three games will be developed at some point. The fact that BioWare has openly spoken about the possibility has only helped fuel hopes for such a collection and if EA is launching in fiscal 2017 it seems feasible that they may aim for an autumn or spring release for the Mass Effect collection," writes Game Ranx.

While we don't know much on the game's plot, a recently leaked survey has revealed a bunch of elements to the upcoming title. According to this, the game will take place in the Andromeda Galaxy:

"The next Mass Effect game takes place in the Helius Cluster (a cluster of 100s of solar systems in the Andromeda Galaxy), far removed by time and space from Commander Shepard's heroic acts and the final events of the Mass Effect trilogy. You are a pathfinder, a combat trained but un-tested explorer leading an expedition into the Helius cluster to establish a new home for humanity. As you explore this sprawling series of solar systems (over 4x the size of Mass Effect 3), collecting resources and building colonies, you will encounter the savagery of untamed lands in the form of cut-throat outlaws and warring alien races. To survive and colonize the wild reaches of space, you will need to grow your arsenal, your ship, your crew and make strategic (and often uneasy) alliances to fight against increasingly menacing foes. Along the way, you will encounter the remains of a once powerful and mysterious alien race, the Remnant, whose forgotten technology holds the key to gaining power in this region of the galaxy. As you uncover who the Remnant were, and the mysteries their ruins contain, you are drawn into a violent race to find the source of their forgotten technology that will determine the fate of humanity."
