Mass Effect Director Now Working On VR?

When Mass Effect director Casey Hudson announced his departure from BioWare in August, he said he was preparing to "take on a new set of challenges" for his next endeavor. Now, he's hinted that what's next on his plate could involve the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset.

Hudson posted an image on Twitter of an Oculus Rift headset with the caption: "It begins." He also mentioned @Oculus in the tweet, which featured the hashtag #VR. It certainly sounds like whatever Hudson is doing next will involve VR, but he hasn't announced any official plans and or tweeted again since the initial tease.

There are a number of possibilities regarding what Hudson's tweet might mean, the first of which is that he is working on a game/app/experience using Oculus Rift. It's also possible that he's joined Oculus VR itself, though the Facebook-owned company tends to herald high-profile new hires with official announcements, and none have been made so far about Hudson.

We'll continue to monitor the story as it develops. What are you hoping Hudson's vague tweet is in reference to? Let us know in the comments.
