BioWare has already started working on their plans for Mass Effect 3 even as they get ready to ship Mass Effect 2 next week. The final game in the sci-fi RPG trilogy should be out in the the next couple of years but once Mass Effect 2 is released does that mean the end of the franchise.

Not according to BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk. In a chat with Kotaku this week, he states, "We're actually going to continue to use it (the Mass Effect universe) for stuff and we're going to continue to make games there." Exactly what kinds of games are not known but perhaps with BioWare's emphasis on shooter combat in Mass Effect 2 perhaps there's room for a more pure FPS game set in the Mass Effect universe.
