New Mass Effect wouldn’t star Shepard in any way

If there is a new Mass Effect game (it’s really a matter of when, right?), it won’t star Commander Sheppard at all. BioWare would look to take the franchise in a different direction with a brand new hero.
BioWare Montreal producer Fabrice Condominas explained:
“There is one thing we are absolutely sure of – there will be no more Shepard, and the trilogy is over. This is really our starting point. Now the Mass Effect universe is vast, and very, very rich. So at this point in time, we don’t even know what kind of time frame we’re going to be in. All we’re doing is more gathering ideas from the teams, gathering feedback to see several things. So first, we don’t want to make ‘Shepard 2?, or Mass Effect 4 with like, ‘oh there’s no more Shepard but you’re a soldier in the universe’. So this will be a very, very different context for sure, and nothing has been decided on the rest.”
