Next Mass Effect, Dragon Age 3 Will Use Battlefield 4 Engine

Were you as amazed as we were by Battlefield 4′s 17 minutes of gameplay footage EA & DICE released yesterday? We know you’re probably already putting money aside to pick up Battlefield 4 when it’s released this fall, but you might want to open your wallets a little bit wider for when the next Mass Effect and Dragon Age are announced.

BioWare Edmonton and Montreal general manager Aaryn Flynn revealed on his Twitter yesterday both the Dragon Age 3: Inquisition and the next Mass Effect will be using DICE’s Frostbite 3 engine, which was the same engine Battlefield 4 was built on.

BioWare might have plans for a new Mass Effect game

While Mass Effect 3 might have been launched with a ton of fanfare, unfortunately its ending has left many disappointed, perhaps even angry. BioWare has attempted to fix that but we guess the Mass Effect franchise did not end the way many gamers had expected. Then again, is it really over? While this is in no way a confirmation, BioWare’s Aaryn Flynn revealed on the BioWare blog that Mass Effect’s Executive Producer Casey Hudson and his team are currently exploring the possibility of a new Mass Effect game.

“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.”

We’re not sure if this will be Mass Effect 4 and if it was be a prelude to the Mass Effect franchise, or maybe a post-Mass Effect 3 game, but either way what do you guys think? Do you think the Mass Effect franchise has been milked enough, or are you hoping that a new Mass Effect game will remove the “stain” of Mass Effect 3’s ending from your mind?
