User blog comment:Bronzey/Christina Norman hints at another Mass Effect game for 2011/@comment-2174252-20110104162532/@comment-2174252-20110105132825

Exactly my point Comdor. If they want to release ME3 by the end of the year, all programming must have been completed by now. This doesn.t mean you can play it yet however, There is still a lot of work to be done like debugging, voice over recording, etc. And yes, it doesn’t make sense start a marketing campaign a whole year before release.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, all these rumors point towards the next DLC, which IMO being the last before ME3, will probably be a whole expansion pack to set the stage for the epic end of the trilogy.
