BioWare published a post on the Playstation website yesterday that shares new details about Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. The upcoming remaster of the original Mass Effect series was announced November 7 last year. It will combine the game mechanics of the three games and optimize them for modern computers.
Most of the changes involve the series’ combat system, especially the first Mass Effect. Unlike later games, its genre was more RPG-like than a shooter. Because of this, its combat mechanics were significantly inferior to Mass Effect 2 and 3. In the new re-release, the developers improved control over the weapon, reduced the cooldown duration, added the ability to sprint out of the battle, and much more.
Besides, the changes also affected the overall game mechanics. For example, XP gain and leveling up will be more balanced now. Also, the developers fixed the problems that are quite known among the players. These include the unreliable physics of the Mako rover, as well as questionable butt angles in some cutscenes. You can find a complete list of changes here.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is set to release in Spring 2021.
