After a protracted remaster process, Mass Effect Legendary Edition has finally gone gold. For the uninitiated, going gold is a very important milestone in the production, development, and eventual release of a video game. If a title goes gold, it means that principal work on it has wrapped up and the game is ready to ship.
The update comes courtesy of the game’s Project Director Mac Walters who took to Twitter to share the good news with awaiting fans. His tweet also included a short clip of Commander Shepard doing the infamous “Shepard Shuffle”.
After last year’s delay announcement, this should be a good enough incentive for fans to place their pre-orders as in almost every case a game that’s gone gold sees a timely release. But seeing that the Covid-19 pandemic is still very much a threat the world over, this cannot be guaranteed.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition, a title we’ve been tracking religiously, will be a remaster of the first three games in the franchise that were released between 2007 and 2012. News about the combined release from Bioware first surfaced in November 2020 and a trailer for the game dropped in January this year.
