RELATED: Mass Effect: Legendary Edition Might Be Coming to Game Pass Soon
It is unknown at this time if the project is going to be an original story set in the Mass Effect universe, or an adaption of Commander Shepard’s trilogy, but perhaps the prudent direction to take a Mass Effect television show in would be to tell a brand new tale, with a brand new cast of characters, utilizing the franchise’s captivating lore and intriguing alien species.
The idea of a movie or television show has long been floated around in the Mass Effect fandom, and indeed, an official Mass Effect film adaptation was in the works as far back as 2010, co-produced and co-financed by Legendary Studios and Warner Bros. Despite the high interest in adapting the story of Mass Effect and Commander Shepard, the project was eventually canceled over seemingly irreconcilable creative differences that made moving forward with the project difficult.
In addition to entertaining the idea of a television series, Electronic Arts and BioWare have slowly, yet steadily revealed information about the next chapter of the Mass Effect saga, a brand new game rumored to be set in the Milky Way centuries after the end of Mass Effect 3. Though there is little more than rumors, speculation, theories and teasers at this point, the next few years may prove to be an exciting time to be a Mass Effect fan.
