Two Executives Leave Bioware. More Mass Effect Starts At Bioware.

Posted on Tuesday, September 18 @ 20:30:00 Eastern by

The world of Mass Effect hasn't retired. Commander Shepard, the Normandy Crew, the Illusive Man. They're still hard at work, thanks to some pretty sketchy pension programs on the Citadel. You think the universe stops turning or getting caught in some perilous war just because Bioware founders Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka retire?

You'd be wrong. Writing on the Bioware Blog, Aaryn Flynn, general manager of BioWare Edmonton and Montreal says the galaxy has plenty ahead of it:

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. 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.

Dating sim. It has to happen.

In all seriousness, I think Mass Effect needs to jump from "leader of the free world" to less strenuous circumstances. What if we could play a student in Jack's school for the biotically gifted, a la Persona 3? OK, now I have to have that.

    The Mass Effect Universe has so many stories to tell it is freaking ridiculous. Just the party members alone would give you Wrex, Liara, Garrus, Ashley, and Kaiden's backstories not mention Shepard's story based on the choices you made throughout the entire series... I think we could go back and play as a young Shepard and experience his/her life coming up... Fallout Style...

    Too true! There are three distinct stories already established as Shepard's backstory to the ME trilogy. Sole Survivor for me. :D

    No more Shepard, I think. Gimme a Metroid Prime style fps starring Kal'Reegar.

    Or one of the million other storyline possibilities already established.

    But I think trying to tie your specific Shepard into any more games could get even messier than it already ended up being.

    For sure. You gotta get really personal on someone else, with no ties to Shepard. Maybe appearances by crew members, but they should distance themselves from this trilogy.

    I still think they should release a generic FPS and a full on, serious RPG as two separate games. None of this middle ground crap, because they don't know how to do it well enough.

    Of course, that's not going to happen, but still.

    Or a total genre departure, like an action game?

    A total third person shooter with no RPG stuff in it seems like the most likely thing, really.

    If only because it'd be the cheapest, easiest, safest move for the brand to make.

    I would love a space combat RTS game of some sort. Maybe depecting the human / Thurian war with a twist.

    In any way, i love their spaceship theory you can find in the databank.

    That would definitely be a good genre to jump through. First Contact war would be good, but there's the whole zerg-krogan angle too.

    Rachni Wars, Krogan Rebellion, Relay 314 (Shanxi), Morning War, perhaps a Yahg uprising since the Salarians were moving forward with uplift according to data you get at Sur'kesh
