You honestly think that there is any chance, with the current state of the game industry in mind, that this is the last what we will see of the Mass Effect franchise?! Good sir you clearly underestimating EAs needs!

The galaxy is only ever one uncharted relay away from an intergalactic war
I'd like to see something set in near future after the defeat of the Reapers. Here's how I'd like to see it:
Takes place 5 to 10 years after ME3. In ME3, Shepard and company defeated
the Reapers with finality. They're dead, gone, and not coming back. Shepard survived the Reaper War as did his crew, so they can make cameo appearances if desired, but this isn't particularly necessary.
The Council (no matter which one it was in your playthrough) was mostly or completely dissolved after the Reaper War. A new Council was formed which doesn't suck as much.
The homeworlds of humanity, the asari, the turians, and the salarians were saved from complete annihilation during the war, however the damage to all was extensive. The asari, turians, and salarians in particular have had a hard time as they also lost a lot of very large, prosperious colony worlds. Earth has lost perhaps 1/3 of its population (about 3 billion). Every race lost a lot of its heavy industries during the war.
The Quarians regained Rannoch and a few colony worlds. They are rebuilding, but have no military assistance to offer outside defending their own worlds. The Quarians have also been granted an embassy on the Citadel for their assistance during the Reaper War. The Migrant Fleet has been dismantled for resources to rebuild their worlds.
The Geth have completed their Dyson Sphere and almost all of them reside there at the moment, happy to be left alone.
By the time of ME4, reconstruction is going on in a big way, but for the near term none of the major races can project military power like they could previously. The Batarians and the various minor states of the Terminus Systems have stepped into this power vacuum. The Citadel races are able to do little beyond defend the heart of their own territory. As a result, various Terminus systems states have occupied large swathes of territory that once belonged to the humans, asari, turians, and salarians. The Council races are able to defend their homeworlds and their central, most wealthy surviving colonies. Outside of this small slice of civilized space, the rest of the galaxy has turned into the Wild West.
During all this turmoil, something happens with the mass relay network. No one is for sure why it happened or what caused it. One day, every mass relay in the entire damned galaxy activated. All of them. This puts the Council into a panic. Currently, Council law states that a dormant relay cannot be activated if the location of
the endpoint is not known. This law is to prevent another Rachni type disaster. Now, however, there are hundreds, possibly thousands of unexplored, previously dormant relays that are now active.
The Council starts recruiting every explorer and mercenary they can afford, and sends what military forces they can spare to explore the newly opened relays. The protagonist / player character is a former soldier from the Reaper War that the Council recruits as part of this effort. You will be able to choose between being a Human (former Alliance Marine), a Turian (former Turian Army soldier), an Asari (former Asari commando in the service of the Armali Council), a Quarian (former Migrant Fleet Marines combat engineer), or a Krogan (an Urdnot Battlemaster who made a name for himself during the Reaper War).
With all the Mass Relays active now, the galaxy just got a lot bigger, a lot more mysterious, and possibly a lot more dangerous.
The tone of this series would be different. Shepard's trilogy is an epic space opera, with huge stakes. This one would be more a dry humored, rambunctious romp across the galaxy. There'd still be strong antagonists, but we would likely not be looking at something like the Reapers again.
I also have no interest in an MMO. If Bioware wants to make one, that's fine, but I won't play it. If they make an MMO set just after ME3, and make it story-line neutral, and then use the profits to fund the next ME trilogy as I detailed above, I'm completely good with that.

Continuing Shep's story would become increasingly difficult - with the variables of our various decisions quickly getting out of hand. Revisiting the ME universe should work fine - and I can see any number of games taking advantage of the setting. Even another Shooter/RPG hybrid would be welcome, particulalry one with more open gameplay and ability to play different species.

We know, 100% that ME3 is not the last ME game; just the last in Shepard's story.
People need to read.

Bioware has spent the last 6 years building one of the most definitive titles of our generation. Mass effect has since then expanded greatly and picked up many fans along the way. I have become not only fond of the gameplay of mass effect but also emotionally attached to the characters and story. Seeing Commander Shepard grow into one of the greatest heroes of gaming like masterchief, i dont want to see it end and im sure lots of fans dont as well.
The only viable reason to end it is because of the final reaper invasion, but who says they are the only threat in the universe. Like Soveriegn said there is a relm of existence beyond your comprehension. Give me your thoughts on Mass Effect ending and ideas on how they could continue the series.DONT LET MASS EFFECT DIE
