Mass Effect remastered trilogy delayed to early 2021

Rumors of a remastered Mass Effect trilogy have been building for the past six months, with some even pointing to a release this fall. But it looks like the pandemic has forced a change of plans.

GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb has posted an update, reporting that publisher Electronic Arts decided to delay the highly anticipated Mass Effect Remastered Trilogy to early 2021. The main reason for the delay is reportedly the need to significantly upgrade the first game, which originally launched back in 2007.

This shouldn't come as a surprise. The original Mass Effect has aged poorly in both graphics and core gameplay, and bringing it up to modern standards clearly takes time. Still, without pandemic-related remote work and other hurdles, the Mass Effect Remastered Trilogy would have launched on time this fall.
