Explained simply
Mass Effect is a science-fiction role-playing game series created by BioWare, a video game studio. Its first three games follow Commander Shepard, a human officer working with allies from different species to confront a threat to civilisations across the galaxy.
The games combine space travel, political tensions and relationships between characters, with choices that can affect events. Amazon announced plans in 2024 to adapt the franchise for live action, with writers Doug Jung and Daniel Casey attached; the proposed story would take place after Shepard’s trilogy and follow new events in the same universe.
