There is still no official answer to this question, but considering no one gave a negative answer yet, it is safe to assume the proposition is not off the table yet.

Rumours have it that BioWare will actually focus on after Anthem gets released, so Mass Effect fans may need to wait a while longer to see an entry in their favourite series. Then again, there is no telling if a separate team could be dedicated to simply remastering existing Mass Effect entries.

Since there is a considerable amount of fans who are calling for the remasters, it's quite possible these requests could be adressed soon. Remasters would probably mean fixing some glitches though and there are several hillarious ones that became iconic enough that fans may not want them removed, like they were in Andromeda. Cue the and the .
