Mass Effect Legendary Edition received a major update — fans added an improved co-op multiplayer

Fans decided to bring back the game’s co-op mode themselves.

In November, fans of the Mass Effect franchise celebrated N7 Day without the BioWare studio—it was closed earlier this year. However, they still have a reason to celebrate: modders from the ME3Tweaks team have returned to Mass Effect Legendary Edition and presented a mod that adds the co-op multiplayer from Mass Effect 3 to the collection.

This is not just a “port” of the multiplayer, but essentially a remastered version of it. The enthusiasts not only brought back the old multiplayer content, but also implemented various improvements and prepared several new additions: “We wanted to give you reasons to return to the classic.”

The modders shared that they improved the interface (which supports gamepads), enhanced textures, and completely recalculated the lighting using an Unreal Engine 4 tool, which “provides sharper light and shadow effects for baked lighting.”

Players will be able to configure various effects, test new weapon models in combat, and explore an expanded photo mode.

The “Legendary Edition Multiplayer” modification for Mass Effect Legendary Edition is distributed for free via Nexus Mods.
