Fans Add Enhanced Co-op Multiplayer in Major Mass Effect Legendary Edition Update

Fans have brought co-op multiplayer back to Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

In November, Mass Effect fans celebrated N7 Day without BioWare, which closed earlier this year. But they still had something to celebrate: modders from the ME3Tweaks team returned to Mass Effect Legendary Edition with a mod that adds the co-op multiplayer mode from Mass Effect 3 to the collection.

This is more than a simple “port” of the multiplayer mode. It is essentially a remastered version. The modders have brought back the old multiplayer content, added various improvements, and introduced some new features. “We wanted to give you reasons to return to the classic experience.”

The modders said they improved the interface, which supports gamepads, upgraded the textures, and recalculated the lighting using an Unreal Engine 4 tool. This “provides sharper lighting and shadow effects for baked lighting.”

Players can customize various effects, try new weapon models in combat, and use an expanded photo mode.
