No details of the storyline behind the TV show have been released. So for now, we will have to wait to see if this show will incorporate any parts of the original story and possibly any of the same voice actors.
For those who are not to familiar with Mass Effect, it is a popular RPG game that consists of many different alien races and civilizations. The game is known for it’s branching narratives, guided by player decisions and relationships with other characters.
If this deal were to get done, it would be the second video game adaptation that Amazon Studios has created. The first being the Fallout TV show that they previously announced was in the making.
Elsewhere, other studios such as HBO, have been working on an adaption of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us series. In addition, Sony has already announced a release date for the upcoming Uncharted movie, starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg.
