BioWare Montreal Studio Director Yanick Roy has confirmed there is no title for the upcoming "Mass Effect 4."
Roy took to Twitter to explain rumors of any title for the "Mass Effect" game are false. The developers have been using a working title for the project, but tis is not the same as an official title.
"WRT name speculations: the next Mass Effect doesn't have a name yet, just a working title that we have used since day 1 of the project," Roy wrote.
Though many are calling the BioWare's title "Mass Effect 4," BioWare community manager Chris Priestly explained in BioWare's forums the game is not a continuation of the "Mass Effect" trilogy starring Commander Shepard and his crew, according to Eurogamer.

"To call the next game Mass Effect 4 or ME4 is doing it a disservice and seems to cause a lot of confusion here," Priestly wrote on BioWare's forums. "We have already said that the Commander Shepard trilogy is over and that the next game will not feature him/her. That is the only detail you have on the game. I see people saying 'well, they'll have to pick a canon ending'. No, because the game does not have to come after."
The BioWare director has been keeping fans up to date through his Twitter account. Back in April, Roy revealed to fans the game was midway through the development process stating, "Too late for one, too early for the other... So I guess we're somewhere in the middle?"
Before the update in April, Roy apologized to fans in March about the lack of new information regarding the highly anticipated title.
"I apologize for not having any new info on the next Mass Effect for you. It's because our focus is on doing it right over doing it fast," Roy wrote.
