There's been a lot of talk about the potential of a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster over the past few months, and now some customers have seemingly been able to pre-order it at major UK retailer GAME.
A few days ago, an image leaked online appearing to show a list of upcoming release dates for games, including the Mass Effect Trilogy remaster under the name of 'N7'.
This list was identified as coming from the retailer, so a handful of fans visited the store and attempted to pre-order the 'N7' game, and were surprisingly successful in doing so. You can see one of the receipts below (dep = deposit).
"Much to my surprise, after asking at the desk, and the attendant checking a store list on a tablet (seemingly identical to the one leaked) I was able to pre-order the game."
According to the list, the game is scheduled to be released on September 29th, although there's a lot of scepticism about that date. Industry insider Shinobi62 recently stated that neither the name of the game nor its September release date are correct, which suggests the list is referencing outdated / placeholder information.
Nevertheless, VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb has previously highlighted that the Mass Effect Trilogy remaster is on the way this year and that it will definitely be a current-gen title - so hopefully it'll finally get an official reveal soon!

These are some of my favorite games on the 360 & I know people have been wanting a remaster of this trilogy.
But I probably won’t be buying this since I have already played them like 3 times & my 360 boxed set is backwards compatible.
Yea not ready to replay them just yet. Recently went back and grabbed more achivements in all 3 so i’m good for a while.
Fantastic games but almost wish they would wait a bit longer. If anyone hasn't played them though this would be such a great purchase (assuming they dont screw up the remaster - the backwards compatible versions are great).
Speaking of which; microsoft didn’t shout enough this gen about the fact that the Xbox One was the only console that you can play certain full series. E.g. every Mass Effect game, every Assassins Creed, every Saints Row, Dead Rising, all because of backwards compatibility.
Bring it on, I’m due a play through of them. As great as the backwards compatibility is, 1 is pretty much unplayable by today’s standards sadly.
Us Xbox gamers are spoilt with such a robust backwards compatibility system, games like this can be played whenever the mood takes us.
For others though it's a fantastic release and one that gamers (including myself) have been crying out for since forever. Lets hope it's real this time!
While I'm hoping... a Switch release would be just splendid
@Hippy_Pirate_89 Oh that's interesting. I played the original through again a few months back and found it to be just as fun and exciting
I do replay a LOT of older games though so I'm used to that harsh step back that some games offer up haha
I love Mass Effect trilogy, but there need to be some real upgrades before I pay 60 (or more) euros for this.
I smell a release on this year's N7 day
Love the games, will give me extra incentive to get achievements again for them apposed to playing them through bc.
@LX_FENIX I was thinking that too.
@LocalPenguin
I agree. The first Mass Effect gets a lot of hate for it’s combat system, but I liked it a lot. The two sequels went to that Gears Of War shooter mechanic that every game copied at the time.
Has anyone here played Andromeda? I was thinking of giving that a shot soon. I know it got a lot of hate bc of the facial animations, but I still want to play it.
@LocalPenguin Don’t get me wrong, still a fantastic game, if they improved the performance I’d be tempted to say it’s my favourite in the series. But sadly the frame rate during combat is crazy bad, at least it was for me as of last week when I tried to replay it haha
@KelticDevil Gameplay wise I think it’s great. They’ve probably patched the majority of the animation issues by now. Sadly the characters just didn’t grab me the same way the trilogy did. Worth picking up cheap.
Awsome, I never played a mass efffect title before so i'll deff be diving into this..
@KelticDevil
I have completed it twice. It is not a bad game. Just not so good Mass Effect game. But nowadays it is on sale very often.
@Justifier @Hippy_Pirate_89
Thx for the tips! I figured it’s worth it now after all the patches & with how cheap it is. 👍🏻
I love Mass Effect, but if they release it on Steam and require Origin to be installed, they can shove it.
Andromeda is great, I got put off by all the bad things being said at the time, but you defo should play it
@KelticDevil @LocalPenguin @Hippy_Pirate_89 I decided to play and complete the PS3 trilogy a month or so back when we thought a remaster was coming. I managed to platinum the first game, and only managed to do the first few hours of the second before I got bored.
I've moved on to platinum Fallout 3 and getting really in to New Vegas.
When it comes to RPGs, a good RPG system with weak combat will beat out a weak RPG system with decent combat.
Now THIS I’ve been waiting for. It’s been a minute. I’m ready to have my own story again.
I must confess, I have yet to play 3 or Andromeda. I did like the first two games and own the third, but I just haven't brought myself to play it.
@IronMan30
You gotta play ME3, man. It’s an awesome game! 😉
@KelticDevil being years removed from its initial release, I might not hate it. My friend really didn't like the og ending, though. He said it provided zero closure.
I've never played them but I want to so a remastered trilogy is perfect for me, same as Bioshock.
@K1LLEGAL That's right, Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, Saints Row, Dead Rising, Sonic, Final Fantasy... Xbox One/Series X are the best because of backwards compatibility.
@KelticDevil I enjoyed it alot. I felt it was worth the purchase.
@BleedingDreamer
Yea the whole trilogy is legendary. 👍🏻
@Richnj I couldn't agree more mate!
Dragon Age Origins is another fantastic example. It's still a fantastic game to play
Have fun with New Vegas mate, Obsidian did a great job on that one
@IronMan30 90% of ME3 is absolutely brilliant (original ending aside) ultimately how you feel about that game is heavily influenced by whether you prioritise the journey or the destination.
@KelticDevil Andromeda was much better than the Internet memes suggested. A good but not great game with some unrealised potential. (I didn’t really experience any major bugs though, your mileage may vary)
Leave Mass Effect 3 out of it. You can't fix that turd. 2 was still overrated but had plenty of redeemable qualities. 3 was the beginning of the end for Bioware.
@KelticDevil the first Mass Effect has actual RPG combat. The "hate" would be idiots that don't understand that or what a budget is. For the cost of the game, they made a gem. 2 cost a ton more and it was watered down to hell and back.
@themightyant Wrong on all accounts. 3 and Andromeda are text book examples of how not to write a story. The plot holes have been talked about plenty. You can remove yourself from the standards but that doesn't make the game good. It just means you like something that isn't good. Big difference.
@KelticDevil 🤣🤣🤣🤣 "awesome game". Sure, if your bar is so low you're going to limbo with dust mites.
@Muslimbacconator you don’t like either of them and that’s fine.
But you are not the arbiter of good taste. Others, including myself, have had a different experience, and that isn’t “wrong”... as you put it.
ME3 is great, and well written imho, until the ending. Are the flaws, indeed. And Yes the ending sucked, but in the rage against that most people forget the rest of the game was pretty damn good. Despite the ending it still got 93 on Metacritic for a reason
