Mass Effect 3 multiplayer could return in Legendary Edition

During the development of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, BioWare made the decision to purely focus on the single-player experience, dropping multiplayer and rebalancing Mass Effect 3 for single-player progression only. While the remasters don't have multiplayer right now, that could change in the future if there is enough demand. 

Speaking with Cnet recently, Legendary Edition director, Mac Walters, revealed that after taking in the reception to the remastered trilogy, the studio may revisit the idea of also remastering Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode.

Here is the full quote (via PCGamer): “I would never say no to that—we want to see what kind of reception the Legendary Edition gets and what the demand for the multiplayer is. And then we'll ask ourselves if we have the resources and time to bring it up to the quality level we and fans want.”

Mass Effect 3's multiplayer has something of a cult following, putting a three-man squad up against waves of enemies across different maps. This multiplayer mode also carried over to Mass Effect Andromeda, although multiplayer progress wasn't tied to the campaign as it was in the original version of Mass Effect 3.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
