Yesterday, BioWare Montreal studio director Yanick Roy addressed some questions from fans concerning the game noting that it will be "friendly both to old fans and to newcomers."
Mass Effect 4 is being developed by BioWare Montreal, the maker's of Mass Effect 3's co-op multiplayer mode. Assisting in the development of the game is Chris Wynn, formerly of EPIC, who was the producer of Gears of War: Judgment.
Casey Hudson, executive producer of BioWare projects, has said the next Mass Effect will be "fresh and new." The game will not feature Commander Shepard, the protagonist of the original Mass Effect trilogy, and will be created using the Frostbite 3 engine.
