Composer Austin Wintory Shares His Early Musical Drafts Intended For Mass Effect 5

Last week, EA shut down Mass Effect and Dragon Age developer BioWare, which resulted in the cancellation of the fifth Mass Effect game that was announced in 2020. As the fallout from this closure settles, famed video game composer Austin Wintory has shared that he'd been working on a potential soundtrack for the now-canceled game and has publicly released early versions of this score.

In a Bluesky thread, Wintory, who has composed soundtracks for games such as Journey, Sword of the Sea, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, and The Banner Saga trilogy, writes, “Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!"

Wintory uploaded a 20-minute video consisting of eight tracks to his YouTube channel. The video begins with a message further elaborating on the partnership between BioWare, EA, and him. “For the past several years, I’d been in dialogue with people both at BioWare and EA to potentially jump into Mass Effect 5. As part of these conversations, I decided to surprise the team by writing/recording a gigantic love letter to the franchise, with my idea of where it can go next.”

Wintory adds that he composed the music in 2025 and that he “knew nothing” about what Mass Effect 5's story entailed when he did.
