EA hint at remastered Mass Effect titles

EA has shied away from releasing remasters of their older games but that could change.

Speaking to Game Informer,  executive vice president for EA Studios Patrick Soderlund commented that they are  looking at the possibility of a remastered Mass Effect trilogy.

“What’s changed is that there is proof in the market that people want it, maybe more than there was when we spoke. There were some that did it before, but I think there is even more clear evidence that this is something that people really want. The honest answer is that we are absolutely actively looking at it. I can’t announce anything today, but you can expect us most likely to follow our fellow partners in Activision and other companies that have done this successfully.

“We have to be careful in choosing the right brands for the right reasons at the right time,” he explained. “A remaster is something that you can just do or do it really well. I want to make sure that if we were to do it, we would do it really well and that people feel that it’s the same game but it feels so much better in this new shape and form. There have been titles that have come out that have done it really well, and there have been others that maybe haven’t done it so well. We just want to make sure that we stay in the ‘done it really well’ camp.”

Mass Effect would seem an obvious choice what with Andromeda on the horizon and at least EA are now considering remaster options. There’s money in it so they might as well.
