More Mass Effect On The Way

More Mass Effect On The Way

Omega DLC set for Fall release

Written by osubluejacket on 19 September 12 at 08:06 | Credit to ARCHER MIKE

A bit of late-breaking news came out of Canada this evening, as BioWare's Chris Priestly confirmed that the next single player DLC for Mass Effect 3 would be titled "Omega" and is set for a release this Fall.

He then dropped another pseudo-bombshell by saying that BioWare was working on another Mass Effect game. While the idea of a new game isn't the biggest revelation since the disclosure of the catalyst, it is newsworthy that they are currently working on the next game in the Mass Effect universe.

Further details on these two points of interest are scant at this time, but Priestly said that more would be disclosed in the coming weeks.

The bigger story out of Canada is probably the departure of BioWare's founders, the doctors Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk, who are both retiring from the industry to pursue other interests. Muzyka said that he'd be focusing on a new entrepreneurial venture. Zeschuk plans to spend more time with loved ones and do some "personal passion-driven projects related to craft beer."

As always, be sure to stay locked on to TA for further news!

So obvious. Fans have been calling for this one since the day of release.

Can't wait to play it and leviathan too. Oh and I should probably finish the game while I'm at it.

I don't really want to see an ME4, but a parallel story about what people other than Shephard were doing the whole time would be a welcome sight.

Ar$e!!

I held off the end of ME3 (got it in July) so I could play Leviathan before finishing it off, and now I'm in the endgame segment so I guess I can't play 'Omega' without going back to a previous save. Ho hum!

A new Mass Effect game? Without Shepard then? Or the Reapers? Should be interesting, be good if it turned out to be 'Skyrim in Space' but I won't hold my breath on that one.

I really really really hope there will be Vorcha in the dlc. I think they're misunderstood and are a proud race. Would really like a vorcha squad member, but i don't think that's going to happen.

I really hope the next game won't be a continuation to ME3, would more welcome a story set in the universe of Mass Effect, but with different characters.

BUT DLC IS ALWAYS GOOD. :)

Not quite. Once you've finished the story you're dumped back to just before the Cerberus base, and can wrap up any loose ends/DLC.

This is the most obvious DLC after those cheap missions for Aria and her complaining about Cerberus throwing her out of Omega.

Hmm, back to Omega maybe. And another game already? For some reason I didn't expect it so soon, but I guess it makes sense. I think they should have left it at the trilogy personally, people are so attached to the story and characters that adding new ones could upset them. On the other hand though, I have a lot of faith in Bioware, I'm sure they'll go around it the right way.

I thought there had been some talk about an ME MMORPG at some point. Maybe that's what they're talking about.
