<p>BioWare could be revealing something during Sony&#8217;s PlayStation Meeting today, if a series of Twitter teases from developers at the studio are any indication.</p>
<p>The first of these comes from <a href="https://twitter.com/Al_McNally/status/773234538310950912">Alistair McNally</a>, head of design and art at BioWare&#8217;s Edmonton, Montreal, and Austin studios.</p>
<p>&quot;Really, REALLY excited for the Sony PlayStation press conference tomorrow. Some surprises are in store I expect,&quot; he said, adding, &quot;Also it&#8217;s probably about time I changed my twitter avatar image and background.&quot; McNally then changed these to be Dragon Age related artwork.</p>
<p>Responding to excitement from Twitter user <a href="https://twitter.com/BioFanOfficial/status/773301787323314177">BioFan</a>, Mac Walters, who is creative director at BioWare, seemed to suggest fans of the studio should watch the PlayStation Meeting.</p>

<p><a href="http://ift.tt/1BiA6NC">Mass Effect: Andromeda</a> producer Michael Gamble later published a vague tease suggesting that something could be happening today.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr">Oh, God. Tomorrow is 7th, isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p> — Michael Gamble (@GambleMike) <a href="https://twitter.com/GambleMike/status/773367699586093056">September 7, 2016</a></p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>Additionally, Manveer Heir, gameplay designer on Mass Effect: Andromeda is also doing some Twitter teasing.</p>

<p>Of course, all this teasing could amount to nothing, but on August 31 EA Studios boss Patrick Soderlund <a href="http://ift.tt/2bSOK6a">said</a> BioWare will discuss <a href="http://ift.tt/21W05Ub">its new IP</a> relatively soon.</p>
<p>&quot;We&#8217;ve been very open about the fact that BioWare is working on a new IP, and we&#8217;ll get to talk about that in the not too distant future,&quot; he explained. &quot;We have other teams working on new IP as well. I think it&#8217;s about a balance, right? Making sure that we continue to push what great looks like for<a href="http://ift.tt/1T3cyBM"> Battlefield </a>or <a href="http://ift.tt/29uZk3H">FIFA</a> or <a href="http://ift.tt/1XD2FOE">Madden</a>&#8211;or <a href="http://ift.tt/13oirRP">Star Wars</a>, for that matter&#8211;while continuing to invest in something new.&quot;</p>
<p>The new IP is in development at BIoWare&#8217;s Edmonton studio, which is also working on the<a href="http://ift.tt/1BiA6NC"> Mass Effect: Andromeda</a>. It was <a href="http://ift.tt/1qzp8de">officially announced in September 2012</a> and, at the time, BioWare said the game was being built from the ground up running on &quot;new gaming technology,&quot; likely referring to the<a href="http://ift.tt/1gvajmS"> Xbox One</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/1lXIW8W">PlayStation 4</a>, which had not yet been released at the time.</p>
<p>In early August, Soderlund also said we&#8217;ll get a <a href="http://ift.tt/2bo2zJQ">first-look at Mass Effect: Andromeda gameplay</a> &quot;in the not too distant future,&quot; responding to queries about the lack of new footage E3 and Gamescom this year. New Mass Effect: Andromeda footage could also be a possibility.</p>
<p>McNally&#8217;s choice of new display picture and background on Twitter, however, could be a hint that the announcement, if it happens, may be related to Dragon Age. The last game in the series was <a href="http://ift.tt/1cIQ3xl">Dragon Age: Inquisition</a>, which was released for <a href="http://ift.tt/1lXIW8W">PS4</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/1gvajmS">Xbox One</a>, and<a href="http://ift.tt/1e8dJIN"> PC</a>. A Game of the Year Edition including all post-launch DLC was also released.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re holding out for a <a href="http://ift.tt/2cc6APK">Mass Effect Remaster announcement, you may be waiting a while</a>. EA has said it is unlikely to make them because they could distract from Mass Effect: Andromeda.</p>
<p>Either way, we&#8217;ll know soon. Sony&#8217;s PlayStation Meeting will take place at 12 PM PT/ 3 PM ET. You can find details on how to watch it <a href="http://ift.tt/2cxzvhk">here</a>.</p>
