Happy N7 Day to everyone who celebrates the annual day marked in many a gamer’s calendar to geek out over the “Mass Effect” franchise. The original trilogy of video games remain one of the standout examples of what role-playing games could truly be capable of, helping pioneer the idea of narratives that respond entirely to player choice. Though a fourth game titled “Andromeda” mostly just came and went back in 2017, interest in the continued adventures of Commander Shepard and their motley crew has never entirely waned. That’s basically what inspired the announcement of a “Mass Effect” series adaptation<\/a> on this exact same date a year ago, though details have been sparse in the time since.<\/p>\n Maybe we just need to wait for November 7 of every year to get drips and drabs of information. After no shortage of speculation among fans, today brings us confirmation of certain highly-regarded information concerning the planned television show for Amazon. Questions have loomed over several aspects of this production, largely revolving around exactly when the show’s story will be set and which characters it might follow. Thanks to an official blogpost by Mike Gamble<\/a>, Executive Producer at BioWare and Project Director on the “Mass Effect” games, we finally have the answers to (some of) those questions. After confirming the next game currently in development, Gamble pivoted to the Amazon series, writing:<\/p>\n “The writers room is going strong, and we’ve got a lot figured out about how it fits within the ‘Mass Effect’ canon, and where it sits in respect to the new game. The show will explore a brand-new story within the universe’s timeline, and will be set after the original trilogy. It won’t be a retread of Commander Shepard’s story \u2014 because after all … that’s YOUR story, isn’t it?”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
