Seriously, there's a whole wide universe out there. Why are there so few RPGs that focus on space travel and alien planets?

Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.
ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.

No mention of Outer Worlds? Good journalisming.
I'd like to see Paramount invest in video game development, because I can totally see a Star Trek game being great.
Getting to explore the universe in a RPG Star Trek game that takes inspiration from Mass Effect and the Outer Worlds for it's RPG mechanics has huge potential.
As for the exploration part of the game having it take inspiration from No Man's Sky, the Outer Wilds and Freelancer would be great.
I'll agree to this. New RPG stories set in space.
Course, Phantasy Star back then had futuristic weapons and space travel. I still want PS5. Well...both PS5s. Lol. But I'm talking about a sequel to the series and not the console. PS Online is fine. But I want the old series gameplay back. Loved traveling to the other planets. Was very innovative back then. Created a sense of wonder and exploration.
Well, we do have the perfect foundation for a space RPG: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
IMO, we need more good RPGs. I couldn't care less if they set in space, under the sea, in future, current times or in medieval times, or in prehistoric even.
I would take Mass Effect-like game set in Ancient Greece over another Dragon Age II. Or Dragon Age: Origins-like set in current time over Deus Ex: Invisible War and so on.
