People who decide to upgrade to the Mass Effect Legendary Edition on PCs might not have to say goodbye to their favorite mods. It turns out, BioWare is apparently already considering how to handle it. Project Director Mac Walters said on Twitter that the team has “been in touch with a few in the modding community” when it comes to mod support. When the game launches in May, people should have a better idea of what to expect.
This came up when someone tagged Walters in a conversation discussing Mass Effect Legendary Edition mod support. Walters showed up to explain how BioWare is handling both outreach and upcoming support.
Here is Walters’ full response regarding Mass Effect Legendary Edition mods.
We’ve have been in touch with a few in the modding community to learn how best to a) update everyone on changes that will impact existing mods, and b) set the modding community up for success going forward. It’s ongoing, and we’ll discuss in more detail by launch.
