“It’s been an incredible journey revisiting the stories,
characters and iconic moments of the Mass Effect trilogy, enhancing
the experience for modern platforms while staying true to the
spirit of the original,” said Mac Walters, Project Director on the
Mass Effect Legendary Edition and lead writer of the original
trilogy at BioWare. “Remastering a game, let alone three, is a huge
undertaking as there’s over 100 hours of gameplay included, but we
wanted to do this for our fans as well as a new generation of
gamers looking to jump into the iconic story of Shepard.”
The Mass Effect Legendary Edition will deliver an enhanced
visual experience featuring remastered character models and tens of
thousands of up-ressed textures. Improvements to shaders and VFX,
updated lighting and improved dynamic shadows, volumetrics and
depth-of-field add a new level of immersion across the trilogy.
Pre-rendered cinematics have also been enhanced to make every story
moment feel even more impactful.
The original Mass Effect game features comprehensive
world-building enhancements with added detail and depth to
locations like Eden Prime, Ilos and Feros that players will explore
in their journey across the galaxy. Mass Effect also includes
updated interfaces and UI as well as a variety of quality of life
improvements. In addition, combat and exploration are modernized
through improved aiming, squad controls and behavior, Mako handling
and cameras.
The Mass Effect Legendary Edition features unified character
creation options that persists across all three titles and is
complete with an improved and expanded selection of hair, makeup
and skin tone options. The iconic Female Shepard default appearance
from Mass Effect 3 is now available as the default female Shepard
appearance in character creation in all three games, further adding
to the unified experience across the trilogy.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is rated M (Mature) by the ESRB
and is available now for pre-order on PC via Origin and Steam,
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with forward compatibility on
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
