Mass Effect Fans Push to Save the Series
On N7 Day, fans and former Mass Effect voices are rallying to protect the series after BioWare’s closure, with billboards, petitions, and public calls for help.
AI-generated summary based on reporting by Kotaku.
Mass Effect fans turned this year’s N7 Day into a big push to save the series after EA shut down BioWare last month. What used to be a celebration of the franchise’s history has become a public campaign aimed at keeping Mass Effect alive.
A video message from several original trilogy voice cast members and composer Sam Hulick backed the effort. Hulick said the people who made Mass Effect deserve to finish their vision, and that he is not ready for the story to end.
The campaign has grown beyond online posts. Supporters have bought billboard space in Times Square and placed more ads and trucks in places like Wales, Texas, California, and Edmonton. Other developers and voice actors have also shown support.
The push has even reached Canadian politics, with New Democratic Party figures speaking out about EA and private equity. Fans are also hoping that high player numbers in the original Mass Effect game will send a strong message.
