Mass Effect Legendary Edition is an upcoming third-person ARPG and shooter developed by BioWare, with assistance from Abstraction Games and Blind Squirrel Games.[1][2] It is a compilation of the Mass Effect trilogy, including most of the additional content, and features remastered visuals, such as upgraded textures and lighting, and support for HDR, and tweaks to game balance.[4][3]

Mass Effect 3's multiplayer is not included due to time constraints, while the Pinnacle Station downloadable content for Mass Effect is not included due to loss of the original source code.[5][6]
