EA’s Peter Moore Says No Plans For Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster

Remasters are pretty popular these days, especially when it comes to older titles with huge followings, such as Final Fantasy VII, Skyrim, Resident Evil, and so on. However if you were hoping that maybe we could be getting a remaster for the original Mass Effect trilogy, you would be disappointed.

In an interview with IGN (via PCGamesN), EA’s Peter Moore pretty much dashed any hopes you might have had for a remaster. According to Moore, “We’re a company that is focused on delivering for the future. I was asked a question once [about remasters and I said] it’s just not what we do. We’ve got incredibly talented dev studios around the world who are focused on delivering new IP, new experiences, [and] more and more live services.”

Moore adds that right now they are focused on the next chapter of Mass Effect, which is Andromeda, and that anything that distracts them from it is of no interest to the publisher. However Moore concedes that creating a remaster for the original Mass Effect trilogy would be a quick and easy way to make some money, and as much as he’d love to give into the demands of fans, he believes in delivering new experiences.

Will this change in the future? It certainly doesn’t seem like it, but hey, you can always revisit the original trilogy anytime you want, it’s just that it might start to look a bit dated in the graphics department, but otherwise it’s still the game that many have come to know and love.
