Talk of a Mass Effect Trilogy remake has been doing the rounds for a long time, and why not? Games like Halo, Crash Bandicoot, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare are great examples of how remastering can actually enhance games and user-experience.

Jeffrey Grubb, a well-renowned VentureBeat reporter, talked about Mass Effect and its rumored ‘Legendary Edition’ on a Xbox Expansion Pass podcast.

On his YouTube show ‘GB Decides’, he also claimed that the new game will not release for Nintendo Switch. Grubb has been very confident with his claims about the release of this game. According to earlier reports, this remaster is listed as the ‘EA HD title’ in its release schedule.

Grubb said, “EA has multiple games coming to Nintendo Switch and Mass Effect is definitely not one of them. Not yet, anyhow. If that happens, it won’t happen in that one-year window that they talked about in their shareholder meaning.”

Mass Effect fans deserve a remastered ‘Legendary Edition’

BioWare had first released the trilogy for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC between 2007 and 2012, and sold over 14 million units by 2014. The fourth installment in the series, Mass Effect: Andromeda, failed to impress. The game had negative reviews and was probably the primary reason the franchise was put on hold.

But the failure of Andromeda in 2017 should give more incentive to Electronic Arts to remaster the popular trilogy. It will be the wisest step to rejuvenate the fan-favorite franchise. After all the series is still loved by many. Fans celebrate November 7 as the “N7 day” as a reference to the famed N7 armor from Mass Effect. This is the perfect indicator of the admiration for the game.
