BioWare's added four Mass Effect-inspired skins to ANTHEM, just in time for N7 Day. And you know what? They're actually pretty cool. The Ranger gets a Turian skin, the Colossus gets a Krogan skin, the Storm gets an Asari skin, and Interceptor gets a Quarian skin.
But of course, there's always a catch. There's no easy way to earn these sick skins unless you have enough in-game currency saved up. If not, you're gonna have to slap down some real world cash before the skins leave the cosmetics store. The kicker is that each skin costs roughly $8, so you'd have to cough up around $34 to buy them all.
As good looking as these skins are, for BioWare's sake -- and Mass Effect's -- we hope that the developer has more in store for N7 Day than this. Remastered Trilogy, anyone?

Imagine buying any one of these skins at this point in the game's life. Plus that price!
They look neat, but oof to that price of each individual skin.
Mass Effect skins aint saving Anthem, god I hope they announce a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster tomorrow.
That's a clever way to make about $100!
Very cool Bioware!
What a cynical slap in the face for Mass Effect fans. "Come and buy this microtransaction-riddled looter shooter from us and then, on top of that, give us the price of another game to dress up in some hastily-slapped-together nostalgia from back when we made things you actually wanted to play! Happy N7 Day!"
If this was Skyrim armour being added to Fallout 76, Bethesda would be eviscerated in the comments (again).
Maybe I might buy some Anthem skins... If they were a Mass Effect remaster.
The only way I’d play this game now would be on ps plus, but I’d still be mad it took the place of a decent game. BioWare should be utterly ashamed of themselves, and the only life they have left in it now is to see who can screw up their company more - them or Bethesda with Fallout.
@FinneasGH At least EA and BioWare aren't asking people to spend $100 a year for private servers... Yet.
@ShogunRok That's because so few people are playing that it already is like a private server. 😜
Very expensive but I’d love to look like Garrus in any game that wasn’t ANTHEM.
@Gumbopudding Wahey!
@ShogunRok To be fair £100 gets you an avatar these days.
1 skin cost more than the game at this point
@Gumbopudding That's the dang truth. I reinstalled last week to hop on and see what's up and never got grouped up in any mission. 3 hours of solitude and uninstalled it once again.
@Rossif3r I’ve been playing it solo and it’s really not that bad. I’ve yet to come anywhere close to finishing it, but personally I like it better as a solo experience.
When it rains, it's a biblical kind for Bioware.
Whomever is shot-calling at Bioware really doesn't have the pulse of the video game community nowadays.

@keihtg I will admit that I did like the story missions better when I went through them solo. I prefer the multiplayer aspect when doing the "post-game" missions.
