<p><strong>Update:</strong> Well, that’s official, then – the Switch is missing out. <a class="external" href="https://www.pushsquare.com/games/ps4/mass_effect_legendary_edition"><strong>Mass Effect Legendary Edition</strong></a> has been <a class="external" href="https://blog.bioware.com/2020/11/07/happy-n7-day-4/">confirmed</a> for current-gen Sony and Microsoft consoles (and PC) with next-gen enhancements on the way, but there’s no love for Nintendo’s console in this instance.</p>
<hr>
<p><strong>Original Story [Tue 22nd Sep, 2020 10:45 BST]:</strong> The heavily rumoured <strong>Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster</strong> release won’t be coming to Nintendo Switch as previously expected, according to VentureBeat’s Jeff Grubb.</p>
<p>In a newly posted <a class="external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tHFQ3j5PLI">YouTube video</a>, Grubb – known for his insider knowledge of the industry – briefly discusses the rumoured title, noting that Mass Effect is “definitely not” one of <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/06/here_are_the_seven_ea_games_reportedly_coming_to_switch_in_the_next_year1">the seven games EA is planning to bring to Switch</a> over the next year (thanks, <a class="external" href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/mass-effects-remaster-is-reportedly-called-legendary-edition-and-wont-release-for-switch/">VGC</a>).</p>
<p>He explains that he’ll be able to share more details on the new release next week, and speaking on the <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/3uaBPlLw8E3ODHFpWOWP6P">Xbox Expansion Pass podcast</a>, has also suggested that the remaster compilation will actually be titled ‘Legendary Edition’.</p>
<p>Just last week, <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/09/mass_effect_trilogy_remastered_retail_listing_appears_gets_taken_down_immediately">a retail listing for the Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster was spotted for Switch</a> before it was immediately taken down. This caused some to believe that it might appear in Nintendo’s Partner Showcase the following day, but that never materialised. It then <a class="external" href="https://www.purexbox.com/news/2020/09/mass_effect_trilogy_remastered_listed_again_for_mid-october_release">reappeared at a second retailer</a>, before getting taken down yet again. Both times, the game was listed as launching in October.</p>
<p>So is the game coming to Switch or not? Will it simply launch on Switch a year-or-so after it does on other platforms, explaining both the retail listings and Grubb’s comments? We’ll have to wait and see.</p>
