BioWare have worked in improved handling and camera controls as well as thrusters to help give the Mako a welcome speed boost.Īnother unpopular feature – Mass Effect 3’s “Galactic Readiness” – has also been altered for Mass Effect Legendary Edition. One of the criticisms many had with Mass Effect was its vehicle sections which dropped you behind the steering wheel of the Mako. Meanwhile, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition Mako has been pimped out. Weapon handling is much more fluid and precise with tweaks made to enemies and bosses (such as headshot detection), BioWare also rebalancing character abilities while improving their cover shooting mechanics. BioWare are now able to revisit 2007’s original Mass Effect and rework large portions of the game so they align with improvements made later in the series. One major focus of remastering the trilogy has been combat tuning. You won’t find any online multiplayer either. If you were looking for more dialogue, romance options, or perhaps a different ending, you won’t find it here. Although BioWare have made some extensive changes here to modernise all three games, don’t expect Mass Effect Legendary Edition to introduce new or revised content. To avoid any confusion, this is a remaster in the traditional sense and not a full-blown remake.
The game will also be available on new consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X|S) with some bonus enhancements. We’re a little over a month away before Commander Shepard and our favourite space crew of misfits return, Mass Effect Legendary Edition tagged with a May 14th 2021 release date on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
