Last month, rumors started swirling thatBioWare and Electronic Artswere moving forward with aMass Effect Trilogyremaster, updating the three original games in the series for modern platforms. Nothing official has been announced to date, but now another source is adding credibility to the rumor.
Gamereactor’s Eirik Hyldbakk Furu’s sources say that theMass Effect Trilogyremaster is scheduled to launch this fall, taking the place of a brand new blockbuster EA game that would usually launch in that time-frame. Furu says that they “wouldn’t be surprised” if theMass Effect Trilogyremaster was announced at the upcoming EA Play event, which is currently scheduled to take place on June 18 at 4pm PT.

If theMass Effect Trilogyremaster is announced atEA Play, one has to wonder if it will include PS5 and Xbox Series X versions. After all, Sony and Microsoft are launching their next-generation consoles this holiday season, so it seems like getting remastered versions of these classic games on the new consoles would be a great opportunity for BioWare and EA. If nothing else, theMass Effect Trilogycould go a long way in padding the early libraries for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
While theMass Effect Trilogyremaster would definitely get a lot of BioWare fans excited, it’s safe to say many will be hoping for news on some new BioWare projects instead. Right now, BioWare is busyrebootingAnthem, the failed looter-shooter it launched in 2019, as well as working on a big new game in one of its most popular franchises.
BioWare has been working onDragon Age 4for years now, and many are hoping to get an update on the game at EA Play. Not much has been seen ofDragon Age 4since the game was first teased at The Game Awards in 2018, so many feel as though they are overdue for an update on its status.
Others may be hoping to learn of BioWare’s futureMass Effectplans. However, the poor reception toMass Effect Andromedameans that fans shouldn’t get their hopes up for news on that front any time soon.
