There's more information to add to those rumors. A significant clue has been found on Amazon of all places.

The Amazon Listing Hints at Something Big

It states that this new edition will delve deeper than ever before into the sci-fi series that changed how video games were made forever.

With the book, you'll explore the creation and development of the planets, aliens, technology, and ships that make up the famous science fiction world. You'll be able to delve deep into the evolution of BioWare's masterpiece. You will get to feast your eyes upon the earliest concept art and design sketches until they created the intricate final renders.

The artbook is filled with commentary and conceptual designs. This expanded edition is the companion you need to have alongside one of the most praised series in the entirety of video game history.

The publisher behind the artbook is Penguin Random House. On the publisher's website, you'll find the artbook up for pre-order as well.

The Mass Effect series BioWare developers have been looking for a technical director who has interesting responsibilities. Those responsibilities are to be the most senior engineering lead on the developer's next grand title in one of their most well-known franchises.

BioWare has made a statement that they aren't done with the Mass Effect series yet. If you put all these hints together, they all point at some next big step for the franchise and that the remaster will be their stepping stone to their next major release in the series.
