50 If you've been among the vocal crowds demanding that
BioWare stop fiddling around with that "Star Wars thing" and get on a
Mass Effect MMO as soon as possible, today might be your day of vindication. It
turns out that BioWare's co-founders are very much open to the
possibility of an online edition of its popular
Mass Effect franchise.
Ray Muzyka and
Greg Zeschuk recently fielded the ever-popular question in a much more upbeat tone
than ever before. Zeschuk says the studio will evaluate a potential
Mass Effect MMO in the near future: "You never know. I think once
The Old Republic is done, we'll take a fresh look at the market."
"We're focused very much on
The Old Republic,
Mass Effect 3 and
Wrath of Heroes,
and all the other things we've announced, and haven't announced, but we
also have the opportunity to look at our franchises in a way we haven't
ever before. There are lots of new platforms and lots of new business
models," Muzyka added.
Mass Effect: The MMO is one of those speculative rumors that seems to never die.
Analysts have predicted that such an MMO could top
Star Wars: The Old Republic's numbers.
