“You tend to think of the next as the next step, but really we are taking a leap,” Wynn says. As a fan of the series, Wynn says it’s important for him to maintain the core of what made Mass Effect great, while bringing new and exciting challenges to the forefront. This is especially important for a franchise as well loved and established as Mass Effect, he says, where teams can sometimes be hesitant to take new risks. “It’s about ensuring you have a culture where the best idea wins, and everyone has the ability and is welcome to contribute.”

“It’s about being humble on the leadership team and accepting that everybody has an ability to have a great idea,” Wynn says. Since joining BioWare as the senior development director for the next Mass Effect in 2013, Wynn has worked tirelessly to reinforce a culture of creativity and openness at the Montréal studio. With that, allow me to introduce you to just some of the lead developers bringing the next Mass Effect game to life.Ĭhris Wynn, Senior Development Director ( ideas can come from anywhere, and Chris Wynn’s team knows it. Bust most all, they’re people who understand that no matter what changes, stories are timeless, and a great story needs to be at the heart of the next Mass Effect game. These developers have hard-earned industry experience matched by ambition to go further than we ever have before. Luckily for me, I get to work with experienced and talented people who love Mass Effect as much as I do.

In some ways, things have changed greatly in the past few years: we wrapped up the Mass Effect Trilogy (an almost 10-year endeavor), we adopted new technology in the Frostbite engine, and fans have new consoles to enjoy. When I think of us making the next Mass Effect game, my head spins. Introduction from Aaryn Flynn, Studio GM, BioWare Edmonton & Montréal
