The title will run at 60FPS (frames-per-second) on Xbox One X and PS4 Pro - and of course, at that same rate on current-gen consoles including Xbox Series S & X and PS5. Each title has been remastered in 4K and HDR, with enhanced visuals including models, lighting, shaders, textures and visual effects. Mass Effect Legendary Edition will bundle Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2and Mass Effect 3 alongside all DLC and even the Genesis comics that provided a shortcut into Mass Effect 2 for those who hadn’t played the original.
In the same vein, a decision to move the game into Unreal Engine 4 was considered, but ultimately abandoned. While a host of UI and visual improvements will take centre stage in the bundle, BioWare drew the line at creating new content as it would “fundamentally” change the original experience. Speaking with Stevivor as part of a special preview event, BioWare’s Mac Walters, Project Director on the Legendary Edition bundle, said his team’s goal was to improve upon and moderise the original while keeping true to it at the same time. Mass Effect Legendary Editionwill feature a list of improvements meant to bring the popular sci-fi trilogy into the modern age, EA and BioWare have declared.
