Something to await forrard to: Original shows and movies are i of the primary ways streaming services seek to draw in new subscribers. We're sure successes like Netflix's Cabalistic and Amazon's Wheel of Time are corking examples of that trend. However, Amazon could merely have some other big debut in the works now -- the company'southward original content segmentation is reportedly developing a new series based on BioWare'south popular Mass Effect serial.

This information comes courtesy of a report from Deadline, published yesterday. According to the outlet, Amazon Studios is "nearing a bargain" with Electronic Arts to create such a serial, though details like episode count or length are patently unknowns at such an early on stage.

Regardless, this is large news for long-time BioWare fans. Though Mass Effect'south latest release, Andromeda, wasn't exactly received well past players, the previous games nonetheless hold their own today. The quality of their gameplay mechanics varies from championship to title, but the consistently-peachy storytelling is even so heralded as some of the best in the industry.

Of course, equally any gamer will tell you, picture or show translations of pop gaming franchises don't e'er carry over the things that made the franchise great. Every bit such, there'due south no guarantee that a Mass Issue show would have the same compelling side stories and characters as the games. Withal, Amazon has a solid track tape in the original content production infinite, and then there is reason to be optimistic; especially if EA is willing to put the reputation of 1 of its most famous franchises on the line.

Hopefully, the deal works out betwixt Amazon Studios and EA. Even if the prove ends upwards being terrible, it'll at least be nice to see the Mass Event universe in a manner we never have before.

We'll keep you updated if the deal is finalized and production officially starts, just information technology volition probably exist a while before that mean solar day comes.
