A modding team is bringing Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode to Mass Effect Legendary Edition, PC Gamer reports — restoring the one major piece of content BioWare left out of the 2021 remaster.

The omission has stung fans since launch. Mass Effect 3's four-player co-op horde mode built a devoted community in the early 2010s, and its absence from Legendary Edition meant the remaster's improved visuals and consolidated trilogy came at the cost of the series' only multiplayer offering.

The project arrives at a welcome moment for a fanbase short on good news, with the next mainline Mass Effect still distant on the horizon. Community-driven restorations of cut or abandoned multiplayer modes have a strong track record in the modding scene, and bringing the wave-defense co-op into the remaster's engine would give Legendary Edition owners a reason to squad up again.
