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. 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.

Your choices. Your squad. Your Shepard. Relive the legend in a remastered edition of the highly acclaimed trilogy. Mass Effect Legendary Edition arrives Spring 2021.https://t.co/jLUj8FUGaI pic.twitter.com/vxTKyq4LQ1

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.

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.

Been pretty hard to keep this a secret. But I love working with @JDMorgan . I love watching him become #Negan and take on that swagger. And I love the @TheWalkingDead family. They’ve been a part of our family for ages and I’m so grateful for their kindness. Xoxo #hereslucille https://t.co/9tRh7NB8WY

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).

PlayStation has shared a brand new State of Play that shows off 12 minutes of PS5 gameplay for Demon's Souls. As revealed on PlayStation.Blog, this new deep dive into PS5 launch title Demon's Souls is presented by creative director Gavin Moore, and it focuses on the offline experience of this remake of the 2009 PS3 classic.

Settle in for 12 minutes of new Demon’s Souls footage in this special State of Play presentation: https://t.co/RISnoWg3Mr pic.twitter.com/KhmpS6tubJ

It gives an overview of many details we've previously learned, like the expanded Character Creator, but also details many of the improvements PS5 owners will be able to experience on November 12, 2020. This gameplay walkthrough shows players the Nexus - Demon's Souls main hub - and how quick the load times are getting players into a level. Moore also discusses how players can choose to play Demon's Souls in Performance Mode, which runs at 60FPS with Dynamic 4K, or in Cinematic Mode, which runs the game at a more "cinematic 4K" at 30 FPS. The team at Bluepoint Games also added "thousands" of new sound effects for Tempest 3D audio that will immerse owners of headsets like Sony's Pulse 3D Wireless headset like never before. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/29/demons-souls-ps5-gameplay-trailer"] The DualSense will also make combat feel "grittier and darker," and will have players feeling "steel clash against steel" or the "crackle of a fireball" before it's cast against an enemy. It was also discussed how the score of the original was rearranged by a 120-piece orchestra at AIR Studios in London, how all the original code was used to preserve the feel of the original while new animations will add flourish, and much more. We also got a first look at the Dirty Colossus boss, and it gives adventures a look at another one of the horrors they must face if they undertake this challenging journey. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=demons-souls-ps5-character-creator-screenshots&captions=true"] For more on Demon's Souls, check out IGN's PS5 review and read on about how it will feature over 180 guide videos in PS5's UI to help players and how Bluepoint is remaking this classic game.

The PlayStation 5 comes with a variety of accessibility options, including the option to create custom presets so all your games play similarly when you first boot them up. That means, for example, if you prefer playing with subtitles on, you can make it so that subtitles will be turned on by default for each new PS5 game. Sony revealed the preset options during a tour of its UI and settings earlier this week. Now that we can talk more in-depth about the PS5, we know exactly how presets work and what players can change. To configure your PS5 presets, players can go to Settings, then Saved Data and Game/App Settings then to Game PResets. From there you’ll have the option to change Subtitles and Audio that will let you turn subtitles and preferred audio options on by default for any new game. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-playstation-5-games&captions=true"] The other options also include “Difficulty” so you can preset a difficulty between Easiest, Easy, Normal, Hard, or Hardest; “Performance or Resolution” which lets you choose to prioritize FPS or resolution where applicable; and ‘Camera Controls’ which lets you preset whether you want normal or inverted camera controls. For IGN’s full rundown of new PS5 features, check out our PS5 wiki. And for our reviews check out our PS5 review, DualSense Review, and Pulse Headset review. We also have a Spider-Man: Miles Morales review on the software side of things. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is a reporter for IGN.
