Electronic Arts is reportedly planning on announcing the long-rumored Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster in October, according to journalist Jeff Grubb.
Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster Rumors Gather Pace
Speaking during a recent podcast, Grubb made it clear that the project is definitely happening, although noted that there’s a chance it could be delayed beyond its 2020 launch window. If we’re lucky, it’ll actually be announced and come out in October.
Up until, like, this last week, I know the plan for sure was to announce it in early October, release in later in October. So good news. Maybe bad news – it’s 2020 – maybe that could start to slip, it sounds like maybe that’s a possibility, nothing for sure yet.
I know it’s real. I’ve seen more than enough evidence to know it’s real, but it’s still 2020 and they haven’t announced it yet.
I think [EA] were planning to have this Mass Effect trilogy be the other big thing [other than Star Wars Squadrons] for $60 this holiday, so that’s why I’m still pretty confident it will make it out. But with everything else falling apart, like across the board, I could see them also wanting to just delay. But that’s not for sure – that’s not a guarantee yet – like, that hasn’t even been decided yet. It just seems like it’s a possibility that’s on the table but last I heard, October – October for both.
Recently, UK retailer GAME has posted up pre-order for a mysterious title known as N7, which was believed to be the Mass Effect Trilogy remaster. However, it started cancelling pre-orders not long after.
