“I am devastated”: Mass Effect 4 writer reveals three years of wasted work

Translated with AI from the Russian original.

Catherynne M. Valente, writer for the new installment, admitted that she was devastated by the loss of the project she had worked on for more than three years.

The American author, winner of Lambda Literary Awards and Locus Awards, shared on X that writing the script for Mass Effect 4 became one of the greatest privileges of her life.

I am now allowed to share what I had hoped would receive much greater publicity. I worked for over three years as one of the writers on Mass Effect 4.
It was one of the greatest privileges and at the same time one of the greatest challenges of my life. I smiled every day. I worked hard for the fans, every single day.
So when I say I am devastated by the ending of Mass Effect, I REALLY mean it. I do not even know how to express how devastated I am.

Previously, the writer had clashed with gamers who accused her of pushing an agenda. Now, fans of the series are trying to get EA to transfer the rights to Mass Effect to another studio.
