The Mass Effect Legendary Edition release date has been announced. The trio of games originally came out on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC between 2007 and 2012. This time around, the Legendary Edition, which includes all 3 games and over 40 pieces of DLC, will release on May 14, Bioware and EA announced today. It will be remastered in 4K Ultra-HD. While it is not being for next-generation consoles per se, the games will be playable via backward compatibility on the newer consoles. Mass Effect was a gaming phenomenon like no other. The ending left the gaming community split, but no one has any complaints on how we got to that point. The games were revolutionary and it’s only fitting that they get the very best treatment in terms of a complete remaster.
Calibrations complete. Relive the legend of Commander Shepard, remastered in 4K Ultra HD. Mass Effect Legendary Edition launches May 14.

Since Mass Effect 3 ended, Bioware has had severe difficulty in trying to recapture the trilogy’s magic. Mass Effect: Andromeda was a failure and not a particularly good game, and it seemed like the Mass Effect franchise was dead. Now, with the Legendary Edition coming out, it may yet breathe some new life into the once-dead series. There’s no series that needs it more, or better deserves it. The Mass Effect: Legendary Edition’s release date is still a few months away, but it will be an experience like no other.
