Following trusted reports that the Mass Effect Trilogy is finally being remastered for current-gen consoles, a new article from Gamereactor says that, as far as they know, the collection is set to launch this Fall. The supposed timing would come as no real surprise given that we're on the cusp of a new console generation, and Gamereactor says that the Trilogy "will take the place of EA's usual blockbusters: Battlefield and Star Wars Battlefront".
We're expecting this collection to be officially announced during the EA Play event, which is happening next week, on the 18th June. You can find all the dates and times in our guide.

The Original Game Needs More Then a Remaster i Hope They At Least Make It More Like Mass Effect 3.
Until I see the official reveal, I'm still cautious! I've been hurt before, you see....lol
I'd be up to giving the series a go at some point... So a remaster trilogy on PS4 would certainly make it easier then my very temperamental PS3
It'll either be an amazing set of remakes/ remasters, or the most basic of ports.
Be good if they took the same idea as the Mafia trilogy remasters and overhaul the first one ( and not mess up the second one).
Calling it. They're ports.
I'd take just straight up ports, just get those games on PS4
I'm not falling for this again.
Just ME2 with all the DLC will be fine thanks...Fem Shep here I come!!
It’s gonna be a busy Christmas. Hopefully!
It will be ports from the pc version of the trilogy which has nothing to gloat about apart from 60fps I really didn't see any difference when I played it on my pc when it was released. My 2600k and 7950 3gb could run it all on the highest settings and again apart from 60fps guaranteed but the fact pc versions don't have controller support at all unless you find a 3rd party program which doesn't work very well. I can't see EA given it any better treatment I maybe wrong but one would think that the trilogy holds a lot of ground with nearly every gamer who played it. It deserves a remake especially ME1 because the combat it awful compared to 2 and 3s and it needs a lot more for it and oh man to get rid of those elevator load screens
I've just finished the first game for the millionth time. I'd be happy with just a stable frame rate because although it's outdated and doesn't play as well as its sequels, it's still my favourite one. I love making Saren shoot himself in the face.
I'm genuinely excited for this. It'll probably be sold individually and without dlc knowing EA.
I've been looking forward to this.
Too little too late for me. This should have been a thing 2-3 years ago
I'll get this eventually for sure, even though I have the trilogy set for PS3. This, Demon's Souls, and the FFXIII Trilogy are the remaining last gen games I really want on modern Playstation hardware.
I swear to god this better be real, I will be so let down if it doesn't happen.
I would be interested if its remastered for 'next' gen - properly remastered and not just a res boost but not likely to buy a remastered game for current gen with many 'new' games coming and upgraded for next gen hardware - the system(s) I am likely to be playing games on anyway
Its been rumored for 7 years now lol, would love to run through them all again but not holding my breath
I think this is a rumor at this point. I know it's exciting and has good sources, but it's gone on for too long without real confirmation to not be a rumor.
I hope it comes to switch too. Even just a non remastered version.
If any game needs a remake, it's ME3. The entire thing was a mess.
it would be nice if they remaster it like command & conquer remaster EA released recently .
Can't wait to get back to my favorite place on the Citadel. 😉👍🏻
@Kdog totally agree. Playing these in handheld would be awesome. I won't be getting it for PS unless they are remakes. Maybe they are being remade and that's what is taking so long? Guess we'll see.
Bought... I LOVE THIS TRILOGY near and dear to my heart will be doing another play through shortly. I already own this on the ps3 , xbox360 and pc such a treat to play through on the xbox one and installed on ssd on pc whats a load screen on the elevator instantly there 😂. Lets hope this gets done right does anyone else feel that mafia 2 remaster was rushed? sound and animations were funny on the ps4 pro. But enjoyed the play through all the same.
As always thank you for the read i do like this site!
@Icey664
2 to 3 years ago E.A and bioware said no interest in remasters since then remasters are a thing so on the bandwagon now lol have a good one
@Mad001
Remasters have been a thing since the start of this gen
I'm okay with ports as I just want to be able to play Mass Effect again, but that first game is rough as. I'd love to see them throw some money at this and do more of a reworking so the shooting feels the same across all three games.
I really really want this to be true but I'm gonna be cautious until it is officially announced. These games are amazing and would love to replay through the trilogy instead of having to dust off my ps3 to do so.
It’d be nice if occasionally you used the word “autumn” instead of “fall” to, you know, just mix things up a bit 🙄
We all know it's the same games but touted with 4k, 60fps and HDR. Quick buck for EA.
Another pointless remaster, I still have the games on Ps3 to replay anytime. Is a small increase in appearance all people need to double dip? I've only ever bought remasters if they're under £10 on sale.
Seems like a waste of time unless the first game is properly remade but I highly doubt it.
Day 0 buy for me regardless of if it's just a port or a remaster/remake. Yes, I'm a Mass Effect freak
Only a fool would buy this game at full price. We were given a substandard, unfinished product in Mass Effect Andromeda. Instead of making any effort to rectify this, Bioware said they would focus on Anthem instead. They won't be getting my money.
Hi there fellow gamers. Just like I said in the PureXbox site: "GIVE IT TO ME. NOW! ASSAP! Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to everyone.
@gollumb82 You and me both. Make a new, but good Mass Effect game Bioware. Redeem yourselves. Cheers and have a good one.
Better be remasters of some kind. I want to see those load times drastically reduced.
@RaZieLDaNtE I believe they got a new one in pre-production and Casey is the boss now, so he can oversee it.
But, it's only coming after Dragon age 4.
@Nem Hi there. One can only hope. And with Cassey Hudson at the helm I´m a bit more relived. Cheers, stay safe and have a good one.
@RaZieLDaNtE
Ah, you've got good taste in games I see I don't know if we can count on a new Mass Effect game to be good, save for these ports/remasters. Bioware is too far down EA's pocket I'm afraid.
@gollumb82 Thanks friend, you to as well 👍. I really wanted Anthem to be the next big Bioware game, but sadly it wasn´t. Respawn were able to make the really good Jedi Fallen Order, so I can only hope they allow Bioware to make an awesome Mass Effect game that we all want and need. Cheers and have a good one
Never even played these. Will give it a try if it's true.
Those who like modding have already been enjoying a good "remastered" experience for a good few years now.
It sure does pain me to say it but these are 3 games that i would give EA money for. Played them all, completed none, so a remake/tidy remaster would get my money day 1. Im finding more and more reasons not to need a ps5 anytime soon.
For the love of God Bioware (or whomever undertakes a remaster) - take this great opportunity to revamp the ending, and by that I don't mean necessarily the controversial god-child ending - but instead I mean the fan-service series of jpegs shoe-horned in as an apology and half-assed effort to address the ending.
It needs to be redone properly as full FMV, with branching FMV dependant on (for example) if you spared the Arachnid Queen and her species, then her promise to stand by you in your time of need needs to be shown!, as things were left even if you spared her she was nowhere to be seen. Just reappraise all branching choices made and give a variety of different FMVs at the end dependant on which choices you made.
@Kdog yes. I’m torn between wanting a fully remastered-to-the-hilt version for PS4 and just being able to play it in handheld mode. Which if it came out on PS4, I could via remote play on my vita. Hmmmm!! Still want a switch version !
@martixy Not everybody plays on PC though.. and some really just like to play on the comfort of they're own sofa instead of being glued to a computer screen. Just because there's mods for upscale textures on PC dont change the fact a console remaster needs to happen.
Just replayed 1 and 3 (skipped 2, I've played it lots and unpopular opinion but it's not my favourite). The graphics didn't really bother me. Things like not enough autosaves in me1 were more of a pain. While my xbox is still kicking dunno if I'd really need a remaster, can't see them making much improvement.
Currently replaying andromeda and there are certainly improvements in gameplay (more the jump jets and the driving than the sudoku) but it's too big and I miss our galaxy. The animations made me laugh but I could live with it. The biggest mistake imo was the move to another galaxy. You spend 3 games creating a fleshed out galaxy and then you mess the ending up so bad you have to travel across dark space to get away from it.
@Urrggghhh
Lol you need to play them all in the whole its completely awesome , its like star wars cant go from hope to jedi without watching empire. ( Im the original trilogy generation lol)
@Mad001 @Mad001 yeah I wouldn't usually play them out of order, I did start up me2 but it seemed like too much of a chore. I wanted to get back to the reapers instead of fighting the collectors.
@ApostateMage if you're playing through Origin, just turn off the in game overlay in Origin's settings. Framerate will be smooth after that.
might as well just get it on pc to have it accessible it all times. God forbid with all the hours put into your ps4 it's eventually gonna die out and you wont be able to play it.
I bought ME2 on sale just for a backup. the only thing that sucks is I'd have to buy the dlc again
This is the last good work Bioware has done. They were once my favorite gamemakers, but they peaked with Mass Effect 3 and dragon age 1, imo. When the good Doctors left the company, it all went downhill from there. If they remaster the first 3 mass effect games for real, and put some time into it, they'd be taking the first step towards winning back some of my money.
