It’s Official, the Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster is real

Today’s the day! It’s N7 day!

Well, it finally happened! After months or even years of hope, Bioware has announced that they’re working on a remastered Master Effect trilogy. Amazingly, they were able to keep this a secret for as long as they did.

I’m still shocked this is happening!

For many months now, our team at BioWare has been hard at work updating the textures, shaders, models, effects, and technical features of three enormous games. Our goal was not to remake or reimagine the original games, but to modernize the experience so that fans and new players can experience the original work in its best possible form. It’s been amazing to see the adventures of Commander Shepard take on new life in super-sharp resolution, faster framerates, and beautiful visual enhancements. As game developers, we always hope that our games will transcend their original platforms. Having the opportunity to remaster the trilogy means that the fruits of a decade of our work will live on, and will be experienced better and clearer than ever before.

Dubbed the Master Effect Legendary Edition, it will be released for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC during Spring 2021, with forward compatibility and targeted enhancements on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. More on that to come later next year. This remaster is Mass Effect 1, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3, with all of the released DLC, promotion items (thank goodness), armor, packs — everything ever included. As well as 4K optimizations, meaning this game will likely get enhanced assets.

This remaster is shaping up to be quite the experience for those who’ve already played through all the previous games. Or a great entry for someone who’s always looked in from the outside but wasn’t sure they wanted to make the jump. Ironic enough, the last Mass Effect entry, Mass Effect Andromeda, which had a massive amount of hype, yet ultimately fell flat upon release, is not included. 

I don’t know about you, but I grew up on the Mass Effect series and loved them, well, except for the ending segment on Mass Effect 3. I had planned on revisiting this series during the holiday vacation. But now I think I’ll wait until this remaster drops.

Are you excited about this? Let us know in the comments below.
