Mass Effect

EA and Valve partnership is continuing with the addition of two more franchises to Steam - Mass Effect and Battlefield. Possibly the best part is that they are on discounts.

BioWare posted a somewhat cryptic tweet on 14 January 2020 and it clearly refers to the original Mass Effect. This sent fans into a speculation frenzy on what it might mean and remaster of the original game is not out of the realm of possibility.

Top games of the decade are cool but it's only time we offered recognition to the well-written, iconic or otherwise notable characters that made certain great games even better. Here are 7 video game characters that should be remembered for decades to come.

BioWare are trying to claw their way out of the ditch following two failures that were Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem. Now it appears the studio is trying to get back in good graces through exactly those two franchises.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has announced that Epic Games will be given a Special Award at their upcoming event. The Award is given out for their achievements with Unreal Engine and excellence in technology.

Aliens: Crucible was an RPG in development by Obsidian Entertainment until Sega cut the project and it was cancelled. Chris Avellone revealed a few more details recently, saying it reminded him of Mass Effect but was more terrifying.

We must admit that seeing two very familiar BioWare mugs smiling back at us after a lengthy absence from the scene is a great way to start the day but the company's co-founders Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka only came for the Order of Canada.

BioWare's N7 Day brought many interesting things such as Xbox One X enhanced Mass Effect Andromeda, but also featured the studio's future projects. For example, Anthem, due for release on 22 February 2019 will have N7 armour cosmetics.

BioWare celebrated the N7 day with a video commemorating the franchise. The future of Mass Effect remains bleak. To celebrate the anniversary, the Apex Elite Pack has been brought back and will be available until 13 November 2017.

EA have revealed that Origin Access Premier service will go live on 30 July 2018 during an investor call, but they have also silently shut down On the House program. Some players might miss it, but honestly it needed a change. Or a boot.
