Bioware has already confirmed that they are currently developing Mass Effect 4 but details on the highly anticipated title are scarce. The fans, in particular, have no idea on the plot for Mass Effect 4 and the only clue they have is that the game will still take place in the same Mass Effect universe.
In addition to that, Bioware also made it clear that Mass Effect 4 will involve a new character and there will be a brand new adventure in-place, with little influence from the series’ first trilogy.
On one hand, there is a high chance for Mass Effect 4 to be the start of a new trilogy that takes place in the post-Shepard era. On the other hand, there is a possibility for Bioware to adopt a ‘Dragon Keep’ for Mass Effect 4, thus allowing the game to be played at the same time period with Shepard.
If the second possibility is to be the case, then players will get a different view of the series’ first trilogy. Then again, it is difficult to see this happening as both Shepard and the new protagonist won’t be making contacts with each other.
