Mass Effect Will Continue After 3. Commander Shepard? Not So Much
Mass Effect 3′s launch is just around the corner and we’ve finally received confirmation that it will, in fact, be the final chapter of Shepard’s story. BioWare CEO Ray Muzyka told PC Gamer about their plans for the Mass Effect universe at Gamescom:
“We have ambitious plans to continue this franchise going forward. Mass Effect 3 is simultaneously a couple of different things; a thrilling and epic conclusion to the trilogy as we promised our fans we’d provide for Commander Shepard, but it’s also a brand new beginning – it’s an entry point for new fans and it’s also a brand new beginning.”
PC Gamer asked Muzyka if this really was the last we’d see of Shepard in the Mass Effect games and producer Michael Gamble answered with a resounding “Correct.”
While it’s a bummer that my Shepard won’t be kicking butt and taking names after the Reapers are gone, I’m sure the folks at BioWare know what they’re doing. The universe is large enough that they can do whatever they want, perhaps even weigh the MMO option. Will you still be interested in Mass Effect after Shepard stops the Reapers and hangs up his/her helmet forever?
After all, there’s the Mass Effect anime and movie to look forward to… Oh boy.
