EA reportedly plans to announce the Mass Effect trilogy remaster in October

“I’ve seen more than enough evidence to know it’s real.”

The highly-anticipated Mass Effect trilogy could be released as soon as October – but delays caused by Covid-19 may push it back to later in the year.

It’s long been rumoured that BioWare was looking to remaster the fan-favourite trilogy for a new generation of consoles and players, and fans are already excited at the news that BioWare is working on a new game from one of its “most prestigious franchises”... even if we don’t yet know what franchise that is. Now, however, a journalist has gone on the record to confirm that publisher EA had planned to release the remaster – which is more likely to be an upgrade rather than a full remake – in October.

“Up until, like, this last week, I know the plan for sure was to announce it in early October, release later in October. So good news,” GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb explained on a recent podcast (thanks, VGC). “Maybe bad news – it’s 2020 – maybe that could start to slip, it sounds like maybe that’s a possibility, nothing for sure yet.”
