BioWare has announced the advent of Mass Effect 4, which has got the fans all worked up! There’s a bit of apprehension about the big changes the company has made to the game, though, namely the removal of Commander Shepard and everyone associated with him.
Shepard has been the presence in the first three episodes, but he was seen off at the end of Mass Effect 3, which actually got quite a lot of criticism for being a bit rubbish.
Mass Effect 4 will be something completely different – BioWare is even refusing to call it Mass Effect 4 (we don’t know what it will actually be called yet). The developers are a bit worried about alienating the fanbase by giving the game a whole new look, according to a lead developer in a recent interview.
If you’re a serious fan and you’re worried about the changes, then stop. Mass Effect 4 will be keeping hold of the same aliens, tech and weapons that you’re used to. There’ll be some new features added, but these additions won’t change the basic controls and nature of the game.
Now we know it’s in development, we know it won’t be long!
