BioWare Already Developing Mass Effect 3

Odds are you are just now wiping the blood from your broadsword upon completing BioWare’s massive RPG, Dragon Age. Your eyes are now likely set on the stars as you await Mass Effect 2 to enter orbit. Not enough RPG goodness for you? BioWare wants to bring you the third installment in the Mass Effect trilogy pronto!

"We are already at work on Mass Effect 3," BioWare’s project manager, Casey Hudson, told IGN. "Building the first bits of the story, putting that together."

He goes on to ensure that awesome DLC is destined for Mass Effect 2 to keep people occupied while waiting for the conclusion to the trilogy. Hudson promises an “intense” lineup of DLC to hit shortly after Mass Effect 2’s release.

"We always wanted to make sure that we got the entire trilogy of games done within this console's life cycle. We didn't want to take forever with it," Casey said. "So we definitely want to make Mass Effect 3 a fairly short turnaround, but also being that it needs to be a tremendous and epic conclusion to the trilogy."

Short turnaround? Sounds like the most dedicated space explorers among you may have to rush through your six-plus playthroughs in order to appropriately prepare for the trilogy’s conclusion.
