User blog comment:Lancer1289/Mass Effect will go on, but without Shepard/@comment-4301893-20110831143255/@comment-737801-20110831143624

It's not the news that Shepard's story is coming to an end, as you stated that has been known for a while now. But the news that Shepard won't even make an appearance in furture Mass Effect media, books, games, etc., is the real news.
