Mass Effect 3 release timed to "maximise quality"

Tuesday 2-Feb-2010 4:53 PM Sequel will arrive in a window that makes the most of its quality, says Muzyka

Mass Effect 3's release timing will be based on maximising both "quality" and "commercial success", says BioWare co-boss, Ray Muzyka.

Speaking to CVG in the just-published second part of our Mass Effect 2 interview, Muzyka said that despite reports to the contrary, there's no word on when BioWare's planning to release Mass Effect 3 yet.

"I don't think we've announced the timing for the third one yet but I can tell you the team's already working on it," he said.

"Our goal is to get it out in a time frame that can maximise the quality for our fans, maximise the commercial success for the company and just make sure we do the right thing overall for the long term for the franchise."

Last month series director, Casey Hudson suggested the developer is adopting a 2-year development cycle for Mass Effect 3, meaning it could release as early as late next year.

See our Mass Effect 2 review, if you haven't already.

So this time next year? Can they fire out this kind of game so fast? I very excited by Mass Effect 2 but havent got round to it yet.

I'm pretty sure they could fire ME3 out as soon as that. The engine is in place, most of the bugs and niggles have been sorted by ME2 and judging by the way the first game links with the second they have already written the story. So all Bioware need to do is code, render, voice and test, pretty sure they could do that in 2 years.
