The lights are on
Happy N7 Day, everyone. BioWare is celebrating Mass Effect today by sharing memories, fan art, and general good will with the series’ fans. It seems that the next Mass Effect game might be a little further along than we previously realized.
In a tweet from Mass Effect producer Mike Gamble, we get our first off-screen look at the title.

We can’t tell much from the image, and there’s absolutely no way to determine how far along the title is. It does seem to be beyond the concept phase, though.
Here's another tweet from BioWare Montreal studio director Yanick Roy:

Stay tuned. There may be more Mass Effect images coming. If you want more Mass Effect, you can check out a tribute video with many of the series' voice actors.

Our TakeI wouldn’t expect a lot of Mass Effect talk until after Dragon Age: Inquisition ships, but it’s great to know the team is working on it. Perhaps the wait after Dragon Age won’t be too long. Commander Shepard’s story might be over, but there is much more to experience in the Mass Effect Universe.
This is one of those games that may convince me to join the next gen.
I'll be looking forward to the next Mass Effect. But I'm still waiting for Jade Empire...
It will be very interesting to see who will be the hero next around & the direction the game will go in.
I want a bounty hunter as the main character SO bad...
I just hope the new characters are as amazing as the Normandy's crew and that our story options carry over from game to game in a MEANINGFUL way. Definite day 1 buy from me when it is finally announced!
This is great news but at the same time gonna be a pain in the ass for me. I switched from Xbox to Playstation a few months ago which means I'm gonna have to play through all of them again. In the end though its gonna be worth it.
