Bioware has stated that the next installment of the Mass Effect series will not feature a character similar to Commander Shepard as it's protagonist. Speaking to VG/247, Bioware Montreal producer Fabrice Condominas has said that the series will continue past Mass Effect 3 but will be it's own entity.
In the interview he states,"there is one thing we are absolutely sure of – there will be no more Shepard, and the trilogy is over.
"This is really our starting point. Now the Mass Effect universe is vast, and very, very rich. So at this point in time, we don’t even know what kind of time frame we’re going to be in. All we’re doing is more gathering ideas from the teams, gathering feedback to see several things.
"So first, we don’t want to make ‘Shepard 2′, or Mass Effect 4 with like, ‘oh there’s no more Shepard but you’re a soldier in the universe’. So this will be a very, very different context for sure, and nothing has been decided on the rest."
