Following on from the news that Mass Effect Andromeda's single player content is done and dusted, original Mass Effect trilogy director Casey Hudson - who only recently returned to BioWare to work on ANTHEM - has said that he'd love to work on the sci-fi series again.
Over on Twitter, Hudson wrote: "I love #MassEffect too much to not want to work on it again in the future. Thanks for the support - it means everything to our team." Obviously this isn't concrete confirmation that there's going to be another Mass Effect title down the line, but the tweet does offer a spark of hope for fans of the franchise.
Personally, this author doesn't think Mass Effect is dead, but it is clear that, in the wake of Andromeda, publisher EA has other priorities at this point in time. Still, if higher-ups like Hudson are keen to get back to the series one day, then we're sure we'll be seeing it again in the years to come.

Hopefully with a staff that is hired for quality instead of the sake of diversity.
Hudson was part of the problem with ME3. He's the one who got fixated on rewrites and rushed some of the game through. Whilst a lot of people complain about 3's ending , the rest of the game wasn't particularly stellar (though it had it's outstanding parts). Would be nice if Old Bioware could get their hands on it.
Omg yes please. Add in Drew Karpyshyn and I might just squeal like a little girl.
@ShadowofSparta Few people seem to realize Hudson was a big part of the ME3 problem, though certainly not the only one, with all the broken promises he made. Honestly if they bring him back for another ME, that would make me even more cautious than I already am.
@RedMageLanakyn @ShadowofSparta We're not going on the Hudson hate train again are we? Feel sorry for the guy. We need to remember he's behind some of BioWare's most beloved games, even if the ending of ME3 did suck. Surely that's worth another shot?
@ShogunRok Haha hate is pretty strong. I was just disappointed by it all. I expected the finale to the trilogy to be filled with far more care than it was. I'm not necessarily talking about the ending. I didn't particularly like it but I wasn't outraged by any means. I just felt the game could have been so much better and parts of it felt compromised. He lost a bit of the trust I had in him.
@ShadowofSparta Nah, that's fair. I think that goes for most Mass Effect fans, really. I just see a lot of people going in on him purely for the ending, and I just don't think he deserves that much punishment. Hopefully he'll help make ANTHEM a good game.
@ShogunRok As @ShadowofSparta said above, it's not hate, but it is disappointment. The ending was really just the icing on the pretty mediocre cake that was ME3. Like I had stated before in another article, his statements before
ME3's release about how everything would come together are what stuck with me as I finished the trilogy in almost disbelief that nothing he said had come true. I don't hate him, but i certainly don't trust him with my money or time, either.
...Maybe they'll make a phone game
if they want to see if the fanbase still wants more Mass Effect games then they should release the Trilogy on PS4 and XB1 (maybe even Switch too) because love them or hate them HD remasters can let publishers know if a series is still popular enough for new content
@RedMageLanakyn Yeah, fair dos I suppose. I'm willing to see how he helps shape ANTHEM. If that's a flop then we can drop the guillotine.
I doubt we will see another this gen, I mean given that we may be 2-3 years from the next gen and Anthem is EA's Mass Effect replacement. But nostalgia is powerful and I could see the franchise being being dusted off. I call a prequel BTW.
A Cerberus game. Anybody...?
All I want is to see fem shep reawaken and slap star boy in the face. Then beam directly to andromeda and supernuke the galaxy to stop that other series. Back to earth and its a time warp directly back to the start and Shep gets to become a Spectre. Do that Bioware!
