Liara’s Actress Learned About Mass Effect 5 Afterwards

Mass Effect 5 has been eagerly anticipated for a long time, and even a small detail has fans excited. However, it appears that the secrecy surrounding Mass Effect 5 is so tightly guarded that even Ali Hillis, the voice of Liara, learned the first hints when the game was announced. The actress’s statements suggest the new game is still in very early development, further testing fans’ patience.

There’s Still a Big Mystery About Mass Effect 5

Ali Hillis, answering questions about Mass Effect 5 at a panel in London, said he learned about the new game when he saw the official announcement. The actress, who stated that she was surprised to see Liara in the Game Awards video, explained that she received the trailer from friends and discovered the details through their messages. This admission further demonstrates how closely BioWare is keeping the project secret.

According to Hillis, he hasn’t yet received a casting call from the studio. This suggests that Mass Effect 5 is still in its early development stages, as many fans predicted. Considering Liara will be the main character, the fact that she hasn’t even been called in yet raises questions about the game’s schedule.

BioWare previously stated that the game was in the early stages of development. The news of layoffs and team changes that emerged after Dragon Age: The Veilguard also indicate that the studio is undergoing an intensive restructuring process. All these developments strengthen the possibility that Mass Effect 5 may be shifting in a different direction than its originally planned version.

Fans are eagerly awaiting N7 Day; however, expecting a major announcement after these announcements seems unrealistic. However, even a small teaser or concept image could rekindle excitement for the series. BioWare’s silence continues to fuel further anticipation.

So, what role do you think Liara will play this time around?
