Mass Effect (2007) News
More than one Mass Effect game is on the way, suggests Bioware job listing
There's a lot riding on the next Mass Effect game. Bioware was once a bastion of the RPG genre, revolutionizing how players make meaningful decisions in videogames.

Therefore, when a new job listing for the next iteration of Mass Effect popped up this week, fans immediately scoured it for details.
