The lights are on
The ever watchful Superannuation has shared his latest finds with Kotaku. Included with hints of a Rare title for the next Xbox and a possible new title from DJ Hero's FreeStyle Games, the sleuth found out that BioWare has brought on two Kingdoms of Amalur alumni.
Colin Campbell and Ian Frazier, who served as lead world designer and lead designer respectively, will be trading bows for biotics. The two have been brought on as lead level designer and lead gameplay designer for the next Mass Effect title. Additionally, we know via Canada.com that Mac Walters, lead writer of Mass Effect 3, is currently working on the next chapter of epic franchise.

There were only three choices I didn't enjoy in Amalur:
- Graphics
- No voice for main character
- 1 million side-quests took away from the main story
All very subjective and I loved the rest of the game. The world was HUGE! Took me weeks to finish. And it had so many awesome details (compare and equip upon loot anyone?)
Good news, bad news, I really don't know, but the more designers on a project the better I guess.
Eww...you said Mac Walters.
This is pretty exciting news. I was quite fond of Kingdoms of Amalur, and I love the Mass Effect series. I would be interested to see how the combat would change with these added developers. Maybe they would add some fancy stealth kills to the game.
I enjoyed the original mass effect 3 ending. That is all
Well this is some great news for Bioware!
I really want the next Mass Effect game to be a sequel. :]
Good to hear! Can't wait until we start hearing some news about the next Mass Effect. I don't care if it's a prequel or a sequel, personally, I just want to get back in to that universe.
Cool! I loved KoA! And I hope the Mass Effect series will take a few notes.
Nice, good for them :) Hopefully this'll go better than the unfortunate thing with KoA and Copernicus.
So is Bioware doing another trilogy or just another game by itself?
