Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Could Be Added to Legendary Edition

While it wasn’t why people bought the game, there has always been a bit of fondness for the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer mode. Although it isn’t present in the recently released Mass Effect Legendary Edition, there is a possibility it can be added in the future.

In an interview with CNET’s Sean Keane, Mass Effect Legendary Edition project director Mac Walters said there is a chance it could come back if the circumstances are right. It mostly depends on how the new remastered games are received and if they have the resources to create a quality mode both fans and the developers want to play.

“I would never say no to that,” said Walters. “We want to see what kind of reception the Legendary Edition gets and what the demand for the multiplayer is, and then we’ll ask ourselves if we have the resources and time to bring it up to the quality level we and fans want.”

Mass Effect is a sci-fi video game franchise developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. The first game released in 2007 as an Xbox 360 exclusive, but was quickly ported to PC the year after and came to PlayStation 3 in 2012. Mass Effect 2 launched for Xbox 360 and PC in 2010, and PS3 in 2011. Mass Effect 3 released in 2012 for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, and PC. Lastly, the latest entry of the series Mass Effect: Andromeda launched in 2017 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
