VentureBeat reports that the release of a remastered Mass Effect trilogy
they say is called the
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is being pushed
back to early next year. This can't be considered a delay, as the product hasn't
even been officially announced, so this whole story has to be considered a
rumor. But they say they've heard from "people familiar with the development."
They say the holdup is getting the remade version of the original first Mass
Effect up to the quality of what they've accomplished with the other two
games:
The primary factor holding up development, beyond the pandemic, is
the original Mass Effect game. It currently does not live up to the quality of
the rest of the package. It would make a poor first impression for new players,
and it might disappoint fans who then won’t go on to play and experience the
impressive upgrades for Mass Effect 2 and ME 3.
This is a problem with both the visuals and gameplay. The people working on the
game understand the issues, and they want to do right by the franchise’s
fans.
