Wouldn’t it be a shame if Mass Effect 4 sucked? Have no fear, as one of the key figures behind the original, critically acclaimed sci-fi trilogy is seemingly working on something similar for fans to fall back on. Humanoid Studios is the name of the studio that Casey Hudson formed after jumping ship from BioWare, and a new update on its website can confirm that his team’s first project involves an “all-new science-fiction universe,” something that should be music to the ears of Mass Effect and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic fans everywhere (Hudson served as the project director for both properties). There are no details on Humanoid’s new title yet, but some of the concept art that’s been posted seems rather Prey-ish in nature.
