The moment a lot of Mass Effect fans have been waiting for come relatively soon. Liana Ruppert, is a massive fan of the Mass Effect games has shared a mysterious tweet, hinting at a September 2020 announcement of Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster.
Normally, this wouldn’t be enough evidence for sharing. However, industry insider “Shinobi 602” hinted at an October 2020 release. Shinobi 602 also shared another hint at Resetera, so we can safely assume that this remaster will be indeed announced next month.
Next month is going to be a really good month for one particular game announcement. Let us scream and rejoice together, friends … but not right now. pic.twitter.com/CI1wVxzRn3

My guess is that this Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster will feature the base games alongside their DLCs. It may also contain some high-resolution textures, and some QoL improvements. However, I don’t expect major differences between the original and these new versions of the first three Mass Effect games.
It’s also worth noting that the Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster will not be using the Frostbite Engine. This rumor surfaced in June 2020, however, Shinobi 602 dismissed it, claiming that it’s as fake as it can get.
Let’s also remind you that PC gamers can already experienced remastered versions of the first three Mass Effect games via these mods. Therefore, and if you are a die-hard Mass Effect fan, I strongly suggest downloading them.
Stay tuned for more!

Can’t wait to see how they butchered these games
some controller support would be a nice addition.
Mods can already do the trick pretty easily, especially for 2 & 3, but anyway, it plays better with KB/M
It remaster even necessary when mods can make it look way better unless it a complete remake.
The 1st game would greatly benefit from an upgrade to make it more playable and enjoyable. I can imagine old fans to have no big issues with it as it is, but it could hardly find new audiences. It did not age very well.
Ths is clearly aim to consoles…PC already has the remasters needed with the ALOT mod, like people already said.
Good time to cash in on sales with all the ps4 and xbones out there
more than a remaster, mass effect 1 really needs a remake, not in the history side but in the grafics and animations.
And mechanics.

like if this was a year or 1-2 years ago okay. but with the new consoles…c`mon… any new engine would do… doesnt have to be memebite…. uughhh… this is why pc is supreme. we had the (((remasters)))) of most games years ago.
agreed. honestly a soft remaster/reboot of the trilogy with a slight rework of 2/3 would save the series. make Andromeda or whatever that thing was called non canon and start in a new location with subtle hints of shepards exploits in a new trilogy or game or 2 then merge them in a end of series event game.
As long as the ONLY thing they do is upgrade the graphics, this could be good.
If they touch anything beyond that this is gonna turn into the same steaming pile of garbage that Andromeda was.

I bet They will add trans as important npc and look all women ugly…
Yes, rip Cerberus.
Wasn’t this rumor shot down?
When first mass effect released i knew i wanted to play all 3 games one after another so i waited until the last mass effect 3 dlc released and then in the course of 2 weeks i played all 3 games and dlc in a row. It was one of the best gaming experiences of my life, so glad i waited.
So, they are going to make the women ugly now, add a couple of irrelevant Alphabet identity politics no one cares or welcomes for and call it a day?
A remaster is a bad idea since the 3 games are still quite ugly looking (especially the 3rd one) but I wouldn’t trust Bioware to do a remake of the trilogy either. I say that as I wish there was a remake with the core gameplay and customization of ME1 expanded to ME2 and 3.
If this is true then I hope they learned something from other failed remasters (Mafia, Crysis)) and really put the effort in to avoid joining the shame list. Mass Effect deserves the best treatment.
