UM writes: While the last Mass Effect trilogy ended not too long ago, it’s no secret that BioWare is hard at work producing a new saga in the Mass Effect universe. It has been clarified that Shepard’s story is indeed over, and that it is a disservice to fans if they called the next game Mass Effect 4. With that in mind, I’m pretty sure that the next game wouldn’t be a direct sequel. It’s also hard to see one when each ending choice had their own distinct impact on the universe. What should BioWare do? Some fans are clamoring for a prequel, but I am personally wary of that route.
Why am I skeptical? Read on to know my reasons and a couple of suggestions for BioWare if they do decide to a prequel.
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.
I feel the same way.
I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?
Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.
Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year
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.

Bioware should just avoid a next Mass Effect and focus on something else. Revisit it after a new IP or something.
Well, it didnt work for star trek, barely worked for star wars, so a prequel to mass effect wouldnt be a good idea either.
Sci fi and goin back in time, only works when its actually about time traveling.
Knowing them if they did a prequel they wouldn't put the fantastic cool down weapons in it despite them supposed to be there in a pre thermal clips era.
God I hated thermal clips so much it made it turn into a proper third person shooter. With the cool down weapons in the first game I relied on my biotics more, my team mates, where I was based on the battlefield but with ME2 it was pretty much run and gun
i think it should be set thousands of years in the future or something, when the universe has recovered from the reapers ect, idk
I just finished the Mass Effect Trilogy. Gotta say it was astonishing. It was just kind of weird how it ended. It was a great series nonetheless.
