BioWare Montreal using the Battlefield 3 engine for the next Mass Effect

BioWare Montreal has taken the helm of the Mass Effect series, and it’s using publisher Electronic Arts’ favorite graphics engine to power it.

The next Mass Effect game is in development right now. Long-time Mass Effect lead producer Casey Hudson remains on as the game’s executive producer, but everything else is under the control of the Montreal team, according to a blog from BioWare Montreal studio director Yanick Roy.
