Mass Effect: Dark Horse Direct Reveals New Collectibles for N7 Day

Dark Horse Direct is teaming with BioWare for a new lineup of Mass Effect collectibles, and IGN has your exclusive first look at everything being revealed during the 2020 N7 Day promotion. Check out the slideshow gallery below to see some drool-worthy art prints, a handy set of bookends and even a scale-model replica of the Alliance Normandy SR-1: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=mass-effect-fans-can-finally-own-the-alliance-normandy-sr-1&captions=true"] The Mass Effect Character Prints Portfolio features the artwork of Matt Taylor, an artist you might recognize from countless Mondo movie posters. Each of the four included prints showcases a different character from one of Dark Horse's Mass Effect tie-in comics - Liara T’Soni from Mass Effect: Redemption, The Illusive Man from Mass Effect: Evolution, Aria T’Loak from Mass Effect: Invasion and Garrus Vakarian from Mass Effect: Foundation. The set also comes with a digital download code for the Mass Effect: The Complete Comics collection. The Mass Effect Character Prints Portfolio is limited to 250 copies and is priced at $125.00. The set is expected to ship sometime in December 2020 or January 2021. The Alliance Normandy SR-1 Replica is a scale-model resin statue of the iconic ship, designed by Gentle Giant Studios. It measures 14-inches long and 5.6-inches wide. The statue is limited to 500 units and is priced at $249.99, with a late 2021 release window. Finally, the Paragon & Renegade Bookends set is ideal for anyone who wants to display physical copies of the various Mass Effect comics. Each bookend measures 8.5-inches tall and 4.25-inches wide. The bookend set is limited to 1000 units and is priced at $99.99 and will ship at some point in Summer 2021. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/02/12/bioware-definitely-not-done-with-mass-effect"] All three collectibles are available to pre-order now on the Dark Horse Direct website. In other Mass Effect/N7 Day news, BioWare has finally confirmed a remaster of the original Mass Effect Trilogy. Mass Effect Legendary Edition is slated for release in Spring 2021. VP, Studio GM of BioWare Casey Hudson said that the team at BioWare's goal "was not to remake or reimagine the original games, but to modernize the experience so that fans and new players can experience the original work in its best possible form." Hudson also confirmed "a veteran team has been hard at work envisioning the next chapter of the Mass Effect universe." That project is still in its early stages, but hopefully we'll learn more next year.

Multiple veterans of the Mass Effect games are reuniting for an N7 Day event, which is only further fueling rumors of a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster. Retail listings teased a 'Mass Effect Trilogy Remastered' collection for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch back in September. The following month, a 'Mass Effect Legendary Edition' was rated in South Korea. Be sure to check back with IGN to find out whether or not a Mass Effect Trilogy rerelease is truly in the cards.

A New Mass Effect Project Is In Development with ‘Veteran Team’

BioWare has confirmed that a new Mass Effect game is in development. Announced on N7 Day alongside the news that the long-awaited Mass Effect: Legendary Edition will arrive in 2021, this new game will feature a "veteran team" from BioWare and will be the "next chapter of the Mass Effect universe." While BioWare isn't sharing any more details about this new project, it did share an image that gives a tease of the future of Mass Effect. MassEffectBR While this project may be far away, the Mass Effect Legendary Edition will be arriving on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in Spring 2021. It will also have "forward compatibility and targeted enhancements on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5." The Mass Effect: Legendary Edition gathers together all the single-player base content and DLC from Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3, and all promo weapons, armors, packs, all remastered and optimized for 4K Ultra HD. Mass Effect was first released on Xbox 360 in 2008 and began an epic trilogy where your choices mattered and would carry with you through the next two games. Mass Effect 2 was released in 2010 and Mass Effect 3 ended the story in 2012. BioWare also released Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2017 and too the series in a different direction and went away from the story of Commander Shepard. We placed Mass Effect at #57 and Mass Effect 2 at #36 in our list of the Top 100 Games of All Time, and soon many more people will be able to play the trilogy in a modern way.

The Walking Dead Casts Negan’s Wife, Lucille

Due to the rather exhausting news cycle of this election week, we're playing some catch-up here as this item broke a few days ago. It being reported that The Walking Dead has cast the role of Negan's late wife, Lucille. Yes, that Lucille. The one Negan named his famous barbed-wire baseball bat after. But that's not the only fun element of this particular casting. Per ComicBook.com, Jeffrey Dean Morgan's real life wife, actress Hilarie Burton, will be playing Lucille. The two of them host AMC's Friday Night in With the Morgans, based out of their upstate New York farm, which began during quarantine back in April. This also means...fans are finally getting a Negan flashback! Though, at this point, we don't know it'll be an entire episode focused on Negan's past or if Lucille will just be in a handful of flashbacks. We do know, however, that Burton's Lucille will featured in one of the extra six Season 10 episodes AMC ordered for early 2021. Little is known about Lucille on the show except that, prior to the zompocalpyse, she was dying from cancer and that she actually passed away from the disease and not due to the undead outbreak. Burton, a former MTV TRL host, is known for One Tree Hill and, more recently, Fox's Lethal Weapon and NBC's Council of Dads. Back in September, AMC announced that The Walking Dead is ending after Season 11 and that Season 11 will consist of 24 episodes (which will air over the course of two years, concluding in 2022).
