While it was unclear whatimprovements aMass Effectremaster would make, fans seem likely to find out at 8 AM PT tomorrow. Gaming insider Nibellion quoted Kat Bailey, the editor in chief of USgamer. Not only did Kat say that “Mass Effect fans should be expecting news” tomorrow at that time, but she believes that “it’s the remaster we’ve been expecting.” Nibellion echoes this belief, telling fans that the announcement of the long-in-development remaster is “really happening” on N7 Day.
Both Tom Phillips of Eurogamer and Liana Ruppert of Game Informer hinted at the announcement as well, with Ruppert specifically saying that the announcement is “going to be Legendary.” The capitalized L in “legendary” could hint at a name for the collection of games, though this is unconfirmed. However, theMass Effect: Legendary Editionbeing rated in Koreaseems to make this theory more credible, and Ruppert certainly could be hinting at this connection with the intentional capitalization.
If multiple insiders and higher-ups from gaming news sites confirming the announcement was not enough, it seems VentureBeat’s Jeff Grubb even has access to the trilogy’s cover art. While the image was heavily blurred to prevent a takedown by EA, multipleMass Effectcharacters such as the powerful AsariLiara and the loyal Turian Garus can be made out — along with Commander Shepard’s iconic N7 helmet. Seeing Shepard again will no doubt be exciting for fans, though many would surely like to see Shepherd inMass Effect 5as well if the sequel ever comes to fruition.
Regardless, the official announcement of the trilogy will finally bring an end to all thetheMass Effect Trilogy Remasteredrumors, giving fans real news on an updated collection of games that they have waited an entire console generation to receive. How extensive the upgrades are and what changes are made to the trilogy remains to be seen, but fans will likely find out all about the updates on the BioWare Blog tomorrow morning.
TheMass Effect Remastered Trilogywill reportedly be revealed tomorrow at 8 PM PT.
