A panel celebrating the recently-concluded Mass Effect trilogy produced scant details and vague teases about the future of the series and its creators at PAX East in Boston today.

"We are starting to get ready to develop another Mass Effect game, and it's going to be a new thing," series executive producer Casey Hudson said at a Mass Effect retrospective at PAX East in Boston today. "We want to be able to give fans an opportunity to get back into the world with these things you've come to know and love about the Mass Effect experience but start something fresh and new—a new way for you to explore the whole universe in Mass Effect."

For series fans, even that little bit of info might be a welcome update.

The game will be developed primarily by BioWare's Montreal studio, though Hudson, in the studio's Edmonton headquarters, will serve as the executive producer. As we've previously reported, Commander Shepard will not be returning.

Hudon and the series' lead designer Preston Watamaniuk will mostly be working on a non-Mass Effect project. "We are developing a whole new fictional universe at BioWare for myself and Preston [and other main Mass Effect trilogy creators.] That's kind of our next thing," Husdon said. "We're focusing on building something new the way we did at the very beginning on Mass Effect.

Hudson also seemed big on the planned Mass Effect movie in development at Legendary Pictures. "That hopefully should be seen as a good thing," he said, "Because what we're looking at are, I think, the right things to make sure it's gong to be a great movie. It's not just going to be a movie; it's going to be really special." We've not heard much about the movie lately, so a mention is encouraging.

I'm ready to leave my Femme Shep behind for something new.

All that sounds good to me. Nice to be able to look forward to a new ME game and another new game set in new fiction.

EA

I hope whatever they do is another science fiction setting.

i love mass affect so i am cool for some moreish

If they manage to pull off the same sense of discovery I got from the first game, this will be great.

I'ma buy both! Neat!

@tarsierARGHH! HATE!! RAGE!!! DOOM!!!!

the multiplayer was received real well, so thats interesting its being handed to that team.

also interested to see what the OG team does.

More Mass Effect is good. I bet it's gonna be a prequel.

I'm really more excited to see what Hudson and team come up with next. A new Mass Effect is nice but they would need to do quite a bit to bring fans back in after the fallout from 3.

good news about the original team. bit worried though seeing as how new ips are big risks and hoping that the fear that comes with taking a big risk doesnt scare EA/shareholders into making decisions which may hurt the game or result in them focus testing the game to death.

I would like to see a Mass Effect game where it begins as Humans are going through the Mass Relay for the first time.

Interested to see how the company moves forward without Muzyka and Zeschuk.
