Is a Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster Truly Coming?

In May of 2020, Venture Beat claimed that there was a title from the publisher EA being worked on and that it was a full remaster of the Mass Effect trilogy. The Mass Effect series BioWare developers have been looking for a technical director who has interesting responsibilities. Those responsibilities are to be the most senior engineering lead on the developer's next grand title in one of their most well-known franchises.

BioWare has made a statement that they aren't done with the Mass Effect series yet. If you put all these hints together, they all point at some next big step for the franchise and that the remaster will be their stepping stone to their next major release in the series.

Some fans were disappointed in the Mass Effect series' latest installment, which seemed to release in an unfinished state. But this seems to be why BioWare is working on a remaster of the classic Mass Effect trilogy. The developer must want the fans to become interested in the series again.
