It's the middle of 2020 and EA still hasn't given us a remastered Mass Effect Trilogy. How have we gone almost a whole console generation without seeing Shepard and the gang on PlayStation 4? It boggles the mind.
But that'll do for our scheduled rant about remastering Mass Effect. We're here to talk about a number of currently unannounced titles that EA has lined up for this fiscal year (releasing by April 2021, in other words). This story is essentially a follow-up to EA's previously reported earnings call back in January, in which it stated that four "major" unannounced projects were set to launch through March 2021.
In the publisher's end of year report, it dedicates a page to upcoming games. The company still plans on pushing ahead with its annual sports titles, with the likes of FIFA 21, Madden 21, and NHL 21 all present and correct, but it's the small text at the bottom of the page that's of interest.
It reads: "We expect to announce additional title releases in FY21 over the coming months, including an unannounced EA SPORTS title, an additional EA HD title, four EA Partners titles and two mobile soft-launches." That's a lot of unannounced games to rattle off over the next few months, and, if we're lucky, one of them is a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster.
Naturally, this report has once again sparked hope amongst Mass Effect fans, but given EA's apparent reluctance to deliver what people want, we wouldn't set your hopes too high. The good news is that we may not have to wait very long to get some concrete answers. The recently announced EA Play 2020 is happening in June, promising "world premieres, news, and more".
Could it finally happen? Pray with us in the comments section below.

Don't get my hopes up.
Unannounced EA Sports title is intriguing. Either itβs the return of NBA Live or itβs something cool like Tiger Woods, Fight Night or FIFA/NBA Street.
@nessisonett Itβs NBA Live.
@get2sammyb Good old EA for making even the painfully obvious letdowns drive a stake into my heart.
it will be next mass effect game for sure.
I'd be very happy with a Dead Space collection if it isn't Mass Effect.
Burnout collection
I've honestly given up hope for this. I'm a pretty optimistic person but this had been rumored for going on 7 years now and unfortunately I doubt we're going to get them. Would TOTALLY love to be wrong though!
According to Summer Game Fest schedule EA Play will be 11th June. 'Electronic Arts unveils a new slate of games.'
More importantly than Mass Effect, when did May become the middle of the year? Has anyone let June know that it's been stripped of its title? π
PushSquare: We are tired of remasters.
PushSquare: Just Remaster Mass Effect already.
Let it be ps4 fight night!
EA will be releasing Command & Conquer Remastered Collection for PC (Steam+Origin). Sadly, no word of PS4 version. But this confirms that they work on remasters.
Red alert? Commanden conquered? Spore? Dead space? Fuse? Army of two?
I love remasters. I know it's cool to hate them, especially this gen as we've had more than our fair share, but quite honestly, most of my most played games this gen were remasters of last gen games.
The amount of shovelware, MTX ridden, zero content, grind games has really put me off most games of this generation.
Remasters are also relatively cheap to produce, and give smaller devs work.
Getting remasters of games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Dead Space at the end of this gen (which should transfer over to next gen), so that we can focus on new entries in to the franchises, should be a no brainer.
Masd Effect 1 needs a remake not a remaster, i played the game a few months ago and it has not aged well
Screw Mass Effect, bring back Dead Space.
please let it be the mass effect trilogy disc release.
Mass Effect Trilogy confirmed, exclusive to mobile devices.
I doubt it. It is about time for some new Dragon Age news, though.
Just give the first 2 Dead Space games the 3rd never happend. π
Mass effect trilogy with 4k, 60 fps, and no loading time seems good π
Can't wait for a remaster of the ME trilogy with added content everyone is hoping for: Microtransactions!
@FullbringIchigo Was just about to say this. I was playing it with graphical enhancement mods, at 60fps 4K, and that couldn't hide the barren, artificial-feeling environments, terrible animations, clunky, basic and repetitive combat. Just to name a few grating things.
In fact, I found myself thinking "well to be fair, it did come out on the original Xbox" before realising, no, it was on Xbox 360.
@KerazyKanuck Dead Space Collection ?! I would love that but this Mass Effect Trilogy as well. However, I think they should focus on a brand AAA games or continue where Dead Space left off.
Dead space trilogy.word up son
The mass effect games have been modded so well on PC that they could just release those versions
I'd be perfectly happy if they unleashed their old back catalog onto the ps2 classics for ps4: SSX Tricky,NFS 1&2 etc.!! Knowing EA, they'll relaunch Mass Effect Andromeda,with extra cosmetic micro transactions!
Where is this Mass Effect Trilogy remaster already? And when are you guys gonna make a new Dead Space game? Honestly, I'm starting to think that the people at this company aren't reading my comments.
