The first Mass Effect video game was released in 2007. Developed by BioWare and originally published by Microsoft Game Studios, the story revolves around a soldier named Commander Shepard who tries to save humanity from evil forces that are threatening the galaxy. It was followed by 2010’s Mass Effect 2, 2012’s Mass Effect 3, and 2017’s Mass Effect: Andromeda, while a fifth game is also in the works but does not yet have a release date.
The Mass Effect show is being executive produced by Casey and Jung, along with Karim Zreik for Cedar Tree Productions, Ari Arad, and EA’s Michael Gamble.
