An employee at BioWare has claimed that the company’s intention is to release the fourth entry in the sci-fi action/RPG Mass Effect series in late 2014 to mid-2015.
Speaking to Gamer Syndrome, the unnamed dev apparently said, “I honestly can’t tell you an exact because full development on the game started a month or two ago. Fans can expect a similar style of choices and action that they’ve come to know in Mass Effect.
“Casey Hudson is very much involved in the new Mass Effect game, as well as many from Edmonton. BioWare Montreal is a great studio and they did fantastic with the multiplayer for Mass Effect 3, so fans should know the series is in good hands.”
The dev went on to say that more news would be forthcoming soon, adding, “You’ll hear more about the new Mass Effect game in 2013.”
Studio Director Yanick Roy has previously stated that the next Mass Effect game, which will be powered by EA’s Frostbite engine, will be respectful of its heritage while the studio also explores “new directions” in terms of gameplay and story.
