BioWare has hinted at a new game in the Mass Effect franchise, plus provided a name for Mass Effect 3’s next single player downloadable content. The news comes in the wake of the announcement that BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuck have retired from the company. In a blog post from BioWare Edmonton and Montreal general manager Aaryn Flynn, Mass Effect is mentioned as part of the company’s plans looking forward.
“Executive Producer Casey Hudson and his team are coming off an amazing eight-year run with the Mass Effect trilogy. But they’re not done yet,” Flynn wrote. “We are releasing more multiplayer content and we have more single-player stories coming throughout the next six months, including Omega which is coming in the Fall. But the Mass Effect universe is vast, and Casey and our teams have plans for another full game. ‘Where to go next?’ with such a project has been a question a lot of us have been asking, and we’d all love to hear your ideas.”
In talking about the future, Flynn also hinted at a new fictional universe in development at BioWare, mentioning alongside it that “Casey [Hudson] continues to oversee the development of our new Mass Effect project.”
BioWare has said in the past that the Mass Effect franchise could continue but that it won’t revolve around Shepard. As for Omega, this marks the first time that BioWare has released a name for the content, which it teased during Montreal Comic-Con last weekend.
For now, no additional information about a new Mass Effect project has been revealed, but check out five ideas for a new Mass Effect game for where we think the series should go next, and why no more Shepard could be a good thing.
