Wait, what? The long rumoured Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster can actually be pre-ordered? Right now? Er, apparently so. After the remaster was spotted on a GAME product list -- which many initially thought was fake -- Reddit users decided to see whether they could place a pre-order at their local branch. As it turns out, they succeeded. That's right, you can pre-purchase the Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster despite the fact that it hasn't even been announced.
Reddit user Waymantis writes: "Naturally, as a UK resident, with a GAME nearby, I thought I'd see if there was any validity. Much to my surprise, after asking at the desk, and the attendant checking a store list on a tablet (seemingly identical to the one leaked) I was able to pre-order the game." They go on to provide photographs of the physical receipt, as well as a screenshot of the digital receipt.
Now before we all get too carried away, this could just be a (really weird) error on GAME's part -- but when coupled with all the other rumours that surround this supposed remaster, it's starting to seem more and more likely that an announcement is imminent. What's more, the GAME listing has a 29th September release date, which is pretty specific. In short, EA should just announce this thing already.

If it's presumably coming in the fall I'm seriously wondering why it wasn't at EA Play
So... GamesCom? Probably? Maybe a Playstation or Xbox thing this month?
if it's a barebones port, i'm not sure what the point is.
Announce it already EA FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!
While i would love to see some serious work done on ME1 i will just happy with all 3 games and all the DLC and nothing else, haven't played the series in years so i'm itching to go back to all 3 back to back.
@leucocyte No really point for Pc and Xbox players, except the minor improvements on Xbox, Pc will likely not care with all the mods but Playstation and eventually Nintendo fans will love it, its easy money for EA.
@leucocyte Thats what I'm scared of to. If its just a bump in resolution whats really the point.
Whats the point? How about having all the games in one collection with all the dlc included, thats why.
@nessisonett Is it weird that the only way we could see emotion in the character of Shepard was to see meme pics?
I mean, he has to be the most dull and soul-less RPG protagonist I've ever seen in a video game. His expressions, his voice ... everything about him is so ... bland and lifeless.
Bring it on š maybe it will be annonounced as per of Gamepass or something
@leucocyte The ME trilogy isn't available on modern consoles. Even if they're just ports, it'd be nice to have them on something I don't have to dig out of my closet.
I'm just praying they don't ruin the first game by streamlining its design.
@Feena THAT... wouldn't surprise me at all. M$ probably has an August presentation coming up. I could see this being another "Available Day 1 on Xbox Gamepass" deal.
The first game was a timed 360 exclusive, after all. It'd be appropriate, in a way.
ME1 really needs a remake instead of just a remaster/port, that game hasn't aged well.
@Nickolaidas BroShepās an absolute meme. I always went FemShep as she was just blatantly more interesting. BroShep and Garrusā ME3 dialogue was incredible though.
FemShep remains as one of my favourite protagonists ever.
My favourite Mass Effect quote ever.... 'We'll bang, OK...'
@Athrum I kinda love 1ās gameplay given how deeply rooted in the late 00s it is. The overheat system isnāt that bad but I agree that it could do with a bit of polish. Some of the bugs and exploits are brilliant though. Also, did anyone bother saving Mrs Racist?
I hope it at least makes Kaidan bi in the ME 1 and not having to wait until ME 3 to romance him. It kind of has to include all the DLC too.
@ApostateMage @nessisonett Only about 15% of players used fem shep. And every single person in that 15% had a better time.
@Mathieu_B
Played through ME1 3 times.
Didn't save Kaiden once.
@nessisonett I did hahah, just because I wanted an harem
@themcnoisy Based. Kaiden might be soggy cardboard but Ashley was just plain mean to my alien bros.
I just loved Archangel's voice. I got 1000/1000G(plat equivalent) Achievements on 360, I played the hell out of ME2.
@nessisonett Haven't played ME1 in a while, but I don't remember Ashley being all that racist. I mean, all the other alien races looked down on humanity (since they were the new guy), especially the Citadel Council, and so humans still had a lot to prove. I wouldn't have called it racism so much as a reaction to being marginalized. If anything, I think Cerberus is much more deserving of the label "racist" than Ashley...
@stinkyx Oh yeah, Cerberus are awful but seriously, take a bit of time to talk to Ashley in the first game and I couldnāt see why anybody wouldnāt tell her to take one for the team. My teamās usually Garrus/Liara or Garrus/Wrex so I hate all the weird human superiority crap.
@Nickolaidas play as female Sheppard. Way better voice acting.
@CmShepard depends if the rumors are true or not. if they are , the first game will pretty much be a remake with new game play and graphics.
I liked Ash a lot more than mumbling Kaiden but the way she fobbed Shep off in ME2 was unforgivable. SPECTRE my arse.
The only Mass Effect games that should exist.
That abomination Andromeda should be wiped from existance.
I really hope that some proper effort has been put into the remaster, but sadly I expect itās going to be a fairly lazy cash in - and if it is, Iām not sure whether Iāll get it or not. Either way, hopefully weāll hear something soon.
Been hoping for the trilogy remaster for years let's hope all the rumours are true.Im happy all dlc remastered and would pay 50 quid no problem for it.
I'll believe it when I see an official announcement...until then not getting my hopes up.
