MUST READ BioWare had earlier confirmed about a new full ME game in the works and revealed its plans for the upcoming projects scheduled for the next six months. This revelation followed the unexpected announcement of retirement of BioWare's founders Dr Ray Muzyka and Dr Greg Zeschuk from the game development.

Pulling off some surprises, the game maker has revealed that the upcoming iteration in Mass Effect (ME) will not feature the beloved hero of its discerning fans - Commander Shepard. The sci-fi adventure game franchise that helped build a global community of fans and friends seems to be taking a new course with a new protagonist, who will dive into a new game world (in a different timeline) that could mark the beginning of a prequel or sequel to the popular trilogy.

Further, speculations are rife that one of Commander Shepard's crew members such as Garrus or Liara T'Soni could possibly take up the lead role in the forthcoming ME game.
