It seems a new Mass Effect title from Bioware will be entering full production soon as EA has started hiring for a production director to serve as a leader for the action RPG which is exciting news for everyone who is a fan of the original trilogy. The job description indicates EA is looking for someone who has more than a decade of experience on AAA titles, deep ARPG and RPG knowledge, and effective team-building capabilities, which clearly suggests the wheels of the Mass Effect series is now finally moving forward.
“We are looking for a Production Director with a passion for the Mass Effect universe to serve as a high-impact leader on our next Mass Effect title. You will partner closely with creative leadership, studio teams, and internal and external partners to champion the game’s vision and ensure its execution at the highest quality bar.”
“Since 1995, BioWare has been dedicated to creating games defined by rich storytelling, unforgettable characters, and expansive worlds,” the job description continues. “Over the years, the studio has earned recognition for developing some of the industry’s most critically acclaimed titles. Today, BioWare is building on that legacy with the development of the next Mass Effect game, continuing one of the highest-rated and most celebrated series in video game history.”
The news also suggests that the next Mass Effect game has probably finished the initial pre-production stage and is ready to enter full development under a capable director. It was previously revealed the new Mass Effect title was being led by a group of fellow veteran developers who had served key roles on the original three games including art director Derek Watts, creative director Parrish Ley, senior level designer and Normandy programmer Dusty Everman, and game director Preston Watmaniuk.
After Bioware’s previous title Dragon Age: Veilguard didn’t quite manage to be the hit the studio really needed it to be, the future of the venerable developer is currently riding solely on the next Mass Effect game.
