Mass Effect is Amazon’s next video game adaptation

I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favorite show on the Citadel.

I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favorite show on the Citadel.

After its success with Fallout and the recently released Like A Dragon: Yakuza show , Mass Effect is the next game Amazon wants to adapt. According to Variety , a show based on BioWare’s military space opera RPG is officially in production at Amazon MGM Studios. Variety has reported that F9: The Fast Saga writer Daniel Casey has signed on to write the show with BioWare producer Mike Gamble serving as executive produce along with Ari Arad.

Though BioWare released the Mass Effect Legendary Edition — a collection of the first three games updated for modern consoles — back in 2021, the Mass Effect series hasn’t had an original entry since the release of Mass Effect: Andromeda back in 2017. After Andromeda , BioWare released Anthem , a live-service action game that was significant departure from the studio’s tradition of making single-player, story-driven RPGs. In 2020, BioWare announced that a new Mass Effect game was in-development .

News of a Mass Effec t TV show comes on what is known as N7 Day, a semi-official, fan-created holiday that celebrates all things Mass Effect . On previous N7 Days, BioWare has teased information about the next game in the series including a trailer that possibly suggested the return of fan-favorite protagonist Commander Shepard whose story ended with the original trilogy. Though no story details have been revealed about the show, it’s a pretty safe bet to guess it’ll focus on the Commander and I personally can’t wait to see her.
