Mass Effect producer asks if next game should be prequel or sequel

Mass Effect executive producer Casey Hudson asks whether fans want the next title to take place before or after the events of the main trilogy. Hudson last night, the latest in ꦛa line of queries which, if serious, mean the game is still very early in pre-production.

We know the next Mass Effect will be based on the Frostbite engine with some customization from the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon Age 3: Inquisition team, and that it is being built at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:BioWare Montreal as opposed to the trilogy's home of BioWare Edmonton. BioWare M🐟ontreal studio director Yanick Roy said the game will respect what made the series successful while exploring new angles.

. The Mass Effect trilogy allowed players to customize their protagonist, but only to the extent that he or she remained a human commander of the Systems Alliance. On the other hand, BioWare allowed players to choose between playing several races with unique backgrounds in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon Age: Origins.

Setting the game after the trilogy would be ꦺchallenging, as the galaxy is irrevocably altered in varying ways by Shepard's choices. A prequel could have the opposite problem, leaving few important decisions up to the player since its events must lo🌳gically lead to the established material.

It's a tough call, and unfortunate♐ly punching the reporter won't help this time. When would you set the next Mass Effect game in the series' timeline?
