BioWare’s Casey Hudson says the Mass Effect team is yet to figure out
a workable multiplayer premise for the franchise, but sees the
attraction of an MMO.
“We’ve been trying to think of a way that makes sense for people to
experience Mass Effect with their friends,” the series executive
producer told Game Informer as part of the latest issue’s coverage.
“We haven’t yet come up with a way to do that, so we don’t have
anything to announce at this time. But, obviously, multiplayer is
something we want to do more of in the future as a company.”
Asked about the possibility of an MMO, Hudson admitted he feels the franchise is a good match.
“A lot of people say that they want to see an MMO, I think that kind of makes sense for this universe,” he said.
“Part of what you’re trying to do is save the universe so you can
live in it. That’s part of the promise, I think, for any great IP. It
has to be a world worth saving…
“I think Mass Effect has that quality to it. If you get rid of the
Reapers and win that, wouldn’t it be amazing to just live on the Citadel
or just take a ship to Omega? That makes sense.”
Mass Effect 3 is due on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 before the end of the year.
