Mass Effect 3 is Not the End of the Franchise

I doubt this is going to surprise anyone, but the ever-talkative Ray Muzyka from BioWare confirmed to Eurogamer that Mass Effect 3 is not going to be the end of the franchise, and could actually also be seen as a new beginning. Here's what he had to say:
"This is not the end of the Mass Effect franchise by any means," BioWare boss Ray Muzyka said.

"We have more things planned. We're laser-focused on making sure Mass Effect 3 is awesome and epic and intense on a galactic scale, and we want to provide a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy."

"But also it's a beginning on a brand new adventure," Muzyka continued. "The galaxy is at war. It's a beginning as well as a conclusion."
