Mass Effect 3

In a casual interview with The Quietus on the 9th of February, 2011, composer Clint Mansell stated "I'm doing a video game this year actually. Mass Effect 3." [15] While not dismissing the statement, via a reciprocation of the story on GameInformer on the 10th, Electronic Arts responded: "EA doesn't have any details to announce at this time in regards to Mass Effect 3's composer." [16]

Via Twitter on the 10th February, 2011, Wall of Sound inc. in-house composer Jack Wall, responsible for the music to both previous installments of the Mass Effect franchise, confirmed having no involvement with the production of Mass Effect 3. A peripheral statement concluded that he will "not [be] returning to score the final game" due to undetailed and "complicated" reasons. Wall also used positive connotations in mention of Mansell.[17]
