Assassin’s Creed may have seemed like it was heading steadily towards a stale and tired single player experience.

In the demo...

You’re traveling on a beat up bus through the Himalayas, a wise old man across from you asks to see your passport. You pass it over to him, the monkey next to you grabbing at it.

I was looking forward to what Microsoft had in store for us in their E3 press conference and I was not disappointed.

Electronic Arts granted my wish this E3, teasing BioWare’s development on their new chapter in the Mass Effect universe. The tease cut between monologue from producer at large Casey Hudson and clips of development work on the worlds BioWare is envisioning.
