The first Mass Effect game in particular features improved controls, cameras, weapon balance, squad AI and cover behavior, in addition to a full worldbuilding pass for better environmental art, visual effects, and lighting. The previous default female face is also available as an option. The default female Shepard face that debuted in Mass Effect 3 has been retouched, then backported to the previous two games for consistency. Ĭommander Shepard's appearance can be customized in a unified character creator for a more cohesive experience, and with all options available across the trilogy. The Legendary Edition has a photo mode across all three games to fully showcase these improvements. Performance options can support ultra-high refresh rates on PC, and consoles are given a binary choice for performance vs.
Visual improvements include enhanced models, shaders, effects, lighting, and depth of field. The M-597 Ladon weapon from the Wii U exclusive Mass Effect 3: Special Edition release is also absent. However, Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer and its corresponding DLCs are not included and neither is Pinnacle Station. Over 40 single-player DLCs from all three games are included. Mass Effect Legendary Edition bundles Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 together in one launcher. With forward compatibility and targeted enhancements on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition features most of the single-player content, Downloadable Content, and promo items from across the trilogy remastered and optimized for 4K UltraHD gaming.
The remaster was released on for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
