Mass Effect 4 Will ?Explore New Story and Gameplay Directions ...

Bioware have published a blog post today discussing the next instalment in the successful sci-fi RPG franchise, Mass Effect 4. Studio director Yanick Roy revealed some interesting information regarding development of the new title ? for example, he states that ME4 will be powered by EA?s Frostbite engine, and the development will be ?driven? by the team behind Mass Effect 3?s multiplayer.

?This is the goal we have been working toward for years now, and every member of our team is proud, excited, and humbled to take on the responsibility for the next game.?

?To ensure a proper and effective transition, we?ll continue to be supported by the Edmonton studio through the game?s development, working with and learning from them on some critical initiatives.?

?On top of that, Casey [Hudson] remains the Executive Producer, but he will have a Project Director under him, working in Montreal, leading our development team and making day-to-day decisions for the game. We all care very much about Mass Effect and make our decisions based on what?s best for the game.?

Roy continues, adding that the next game will be ?exploring new directions?, while maintaining respect for the?main aspects of the first three games.

?The other thing I can tell you is that, while it will be very respectful of the heritage built over the course of the first three games, with the original trilogy now concluded and the switch over to a new engine, we are exploring new directions, both on the gameplay and story fronts.?

?You can still expect the pillars the franchise is known for to be fully intact though, including diverse alien races, a huge galaxy to explore, and of course rich, cinematic storytelling.?

He adds that the game will benefit from the ?amazing technology? of the Frostbite engine:

?There is really not much I can tell you about the game right now, except that it will be built with the amazing technology of Frostbite as its foundation, enhanced by many of the systems that the Dragon Age III team has already spent a lot of time building.?

Being in an early development phase, there is currently no release window for Mass Effect 4. Are you any more excited for the game?
