BioWare May Be Dead, But a Modder Has Rebuilt Mass Effect 3’s Multiplayer Into the Legendary Edition

When the Mass Effect Legendary Edition came out in 2021, it included the single player campaign of all three original games, along with all the DLC. But while all the story content you could ever want was included, Mass Effect 3’s multiplayer mode was conspicuously absent, despite having a dedicated fanbase.

Now, just a few weeks after EA’s shutdown of BioWare, a team of modders has successfully ported Mass Effect 3‘s multiplayer to the Legendary Edition, with all the graphics and engine improvements that came with that re-release. The mod will be coming out on N7 Day – November 7th – and will be free to play, as long as you already own Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

I also got a chance to sit down with Mgamerz, who runs the ME3Tweaks team that created the mod, to talk about Mass Effect 3, and about the state of modding in 2026. And if you want to download the mod yourself, it’s available now on Nexus Mods.
