  "account": "When Mass Effect Legendary Edition released in 2021, it featured the single-player campaign of all three original games and all the DLC. However, Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode was notably absent, despite a dedicated fanbase. Just weeks after EA's shutdown of BioWare, a team of modders successfully ported Mass Effect 3's multiplayer to the Legendary Edition, incorporating all the graphics and engine improvements from that re-release. The mod will be released on N7 Day (November 7th) and is free to play for those who already own the Legendary Edition. Interviewee Mgamerz, who leads the ME3Tweaks team, discussed the project's origins, challenges, and future plans.",
  "summary": "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.",
