Recently a news broke out that a remastered version of the original Mass Effect trilogy is in the works. ME1, ME2 and ME3 would all come in a neat new single package called Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, and include all the promo material, and DLCs for the three games.
That was all well and nice, and it did give me at least a sliver of hope that Bioware might decide and actually rework the ending of ME3, so that it gives at least a modicum of satisfaction beyond the colour of final explosion.
Still it didn't seem like that was all. And now we know why. Today they published a new "Official Teaser Trailer" for the "Next Mass Effect".
In the trailer we can see Liara climbing a mountain and discovering a piece of armour with markings of N7 on it, an elite unit Commander Shepard was a part of.
This could mean all sorts of things. For starters maybe they come to their senses, and decide to bring Shepard back from the dead, like they did at the start of ME2. But in any case, it seems Bioware is abandoning it's Andromeda dream and focusing on what made their space opera/military sci-fi franchise great in the first place. At least I hope they do.
In light of that, a remaster of a more than a decade old game series makes sense. By giving it a fresh new coat of paint it provides an opportunity for the new generation of gamers to dive in, and experience it for themselves before the new game is released. A way to build up interest after the disaster that was ME: Andromeda, and even more so unrelated Anthem.
