Mass Effect 3 is rolling on toward its official launch date of March 6, and despite the fact that the third chapter of the Commander Shepard saga has yet to hit shelves, EA and Bioware are already stirring up hype for the next game. Of course, the two companies haven’t made any sort of official announcements, but one producer offered a tongue-in-cheek hint to Mass Effect fans everywhere.

In an interview with Gamerzines, producer Mike Gamble simply said that hanging on to your Mass Effect 3 saves “wouldn't be a bad idea.” He was mum on why exactly players would want to hang onto their saves, but suggesting they keep them handy is practically a confirmation of another game in the works.

With Mass Effect, players are invited to import their character saves from previous games. Decisions you make in Mass Effect, for example, have a lasting impact on the world you encounter in Mass Effect 2. And when you import your character from ME2 into ME3, you’ll be bringing two games’ worth of decisions along with you.

The suggestion that players hang onto their game saves indicates there will be another opportunity to import data, perhaps in a fourth Mass Effect title. The thought of bringing the decisions of three games forward sounds daunting enough from a player perspective – it’s hard to imagine how Bioware could even begin writing the damn thing.

Do you want more Mass Effect?
