Without BioWare, N7 Day is quieter this year, but that didn’t stop the Normandy cast and crew from teaming up for a video message asking fans to help save Mass Effect.
EA shuttered BioWare, canceled Mass Effect 5, and put the gaming side of the franchise on an indefinite hold just weeks before the series’ annual November 7 holiday, leaving players just as hurt as they were confused. There’s not really any official festivities to enjoy this year, but the developers and actors behind the stories and characters fans love still made sure to get together for a special video message.
Organized by the unofficial group known as We are Mass Effect, the two-minute video message features appearances from composer Sam Hulick, Jennifer Hale (Commander Shepard/FemShep), Ash Sroka (Tali’Zorah), Keythe Farley (Thane), Kimberly Brooks (Ashley), Mark Meer (Commander Shepard/MaleShep), Steve Blum (Urdnot Grunt), Brandon Keener (Garrus), and many more. One by one, they each call to “Save Mass Effect” in the wake of BioWare’s closure, marking what is only the latest shot to garner attention and, hopefully, give the franchise a shot in the arm.
Today is a very special day for Mass Effect fans.
