The actor admitted that he expected a long story with the Ryders, but everything ended after the failed launch.

Actor Tom Taylorson, who voiced Scott Ryder in Mass Effect: Andromeda, revealed that the team expected to work with these characters for many years, but due to the game's poor reception, plans quickly collapsed. He admitted that the criticism was mainly directed at BioWare, not the actors, so he simply moved on to seeking new roles .Taylorson worked a little with the franchise after the release (voiced a book on Andromeda), but there was no talk of DLC or a continuation. According to him, at the Anthem audition his recording was liked, but when the developers found out it was the "voice of Ryder," they rejected the idea of hiring him — he assumes it might have been "too soon" a move after Andromeda.The actor jokes that he is used to joining projects with a difficult fate (he recalls Highguard, which was closed shortly after release), but he himself would gladly return to the role of Ryder. At the same time, he understands that BioWare will probably want to distance itself from Andromeda and its heroes, although fans see possible hints of a connection to this part in the teasers of the new Mass Effect.
