Bioware reveals upcoming Mass Effect novel, hints at second game
On Bioware’s news page, it lists a news nugget about an upcoming mass Effect novel, titled Mass Effect: Ascension. From the site:
Del-Rey Books and author Drew Karpyshyn have announced the title of the second volume in the Mass Effect series of novels: Mass Effect: Ascension. Set between the first and second game, the novel will arrive in Summer 2008.
That would most likely put the next Mass Effect game’s release in time for Christmas 2008. No word yet on the systems for the future game (or even the game’s name). Mass Effect was released November 2007 for the Xbox 360.
The first Mass Effect novel, titled Mass Effect: Revelation, was a prequel to the first game and was released on May 1, 2007, by Del Rey (part of Random House).
There will likely be three games in the franchise and Xbox Live content to fill in story gaps. How much you want to bet either a game, novel or some content gets “Reloaded” (a la The Matrix) as part of the title?

When they said “set between the first and second game”, they were referring to the premise of the novel, not to any release date. It’s been speculated that the earliest we’ll hear of news of ME2 won’t be until 2009, and there probably won’t be a release until late 2009 or early 2010.
