Hudson ”continues to oversee” Mass Effect’s development with the likes of the upcoming Omega DLC. This means the studio has something cooking alongside Dragon Age 3.
This teasing snippet follows the official announcement that BioWare’s co-founders retire from company they built, and are even leaving the games industry, but they ”built BioWare to last.”
”Executive producer Casey Hudson and his team are coming off an amazing eight-year run with the Mass Effect trilogy. But they’re not done yet,” posted BioWare GM Aaryn Flynn. ”We are releasing more multiplayer content and we have more single-player stories coming throughout the next six months, including Omega which is coming in the Fall.”
”But the Mass Effect universe is vast, and Casey and our teams have plans for another full game. “Where to go next?” with such a project has been a question a lot of us have been asking, and we’d all love to hear your ideas.”
Recently Dragon Age 3 was announced as an official project. ”Both Dragon Age and Mass Effect started as single games but grew into vast universes. But we aren’t stopping there. While Casey continues to oversee the development of our new Mass Effect project, he and his leads are putting together their vision for an all new game set in a fictional universe, built from the bottom-up with all new gaming technology,” he continued.
Flynn paid tribute to founders Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk: ”Ray and Greg built BioWare to last. They’ve always known their retirement would come one day, so they developed a team of people who would ensure their standards and culture would endure. We’ll humbly carry that torch and continue learning in the process.”
Will Casey Hudson take on another sci-fi universe? That Jade Empire revival sure looks unlikely. Bummer.
