It looks like the Mass Effect 4 release date could be delayed following reports of BioWare switching the game's engine from the FrostBite Engine to the FOX engine used in the recent Metal Gear Solid games.
Cyberland has reported that BioWare has allegedly changed the engine of Mass Effect 4 to the FOX engine as they say that the FOX engine allows for amazing visuals while allowing amazing optimization and performance as seen on Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes.
Cyberland notes that the downside to the change of engines is that the Mass Effect 4 release date is obvously going to be delayed as BioWare has already made some great strides in the game using the FrostBite engine.
We previously reported that BioWare has revealed that they have a playable build of Mass Effect 4 and it has been rumored that they would release the first gameplay video trailer of Mass Effect 4 at CES 2015 this January 2015!
BioWare's Michael Gamble dropped a bombshell on Twitter when he said that they have a playable build of Mass Effect 4 and that the demo is very beautiful and diverse:
"The Mass Effect team has created a fantastic build to cap off 2014. So much diversity, so beautiful. Best Christmas present ever." Said Gamble on Twitter.

When the news of this broke out, it was then rumored that BioWare would release a video of this playable build on CES 2015.
The rumor was then given credibility when an alleged BioWare employee posted on Reddit saying that gamers should keep an eye out for CES 2015.
