Ever since the original trilogy, ME hasn’t expanded much, except Adromeda which was lukewarm at best. The original trilogy is still, a trilogy. Even though a lot of people didn’t like the ending of ME3, it was still a stellar series altogether. Which makes a lot of people wonder what is happening behind the scenes.
Well, it was revealed on the N7 Day that we are getting a new Mass Effect game. However, Bioware now is a lot different from Bioware back then. A lot of people have left the studios, including the lead writer.
In an interview with MinnMax, The Mass Effect writer explained he wanted to be done with the series. The feeling of finishing this started way before he left the studio. According to him, he wanted to end it even before The Legendary Edition dropped, on too which he worked. He was sort of, content with his work on the franchise
He also said he didn’t have it in him for another and preferred to stay far from large IPs. This is why he left the studio and joined Worlds Untold. He did enjoy the time working on the franchise as well as other games made by the studio. Walters is a veteran who has worked on games like Jade Empire and Dragon Age too.
