EA chief competition officer Peter Moore has shut down talk of a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster – and remasters in general – despite executive VP Patrick Soderlund stating only last month that the publisher was “absolutely actively looking” at HD remasters.
Speaking to IGN about his career with SEGA, Microsoft and now EA, the interview closed with some questions about remasters.
“We are a company that is focussed on delivering for the future,” said Moore. “Could we make an easy buck on remastering Mass Effect? Yes.”
He added: “We just feel like we want to go forward. There’s a little thing called Mass Effect Andromeda that we’re totally focused on at BioWare, and it’s going to be magnificent. Anything that distracts from that…
“Do we have teams lying around that are doing nothing right now, that can go and? No, we don’t. We want to focus on the future and delivering new IP and new experiences.
“There’s easy money to be made all over this industry. The real focus should be on player first and focussed on delivering against new IP and new experiences. That’s what our real focus is.”
You can hear Moore’s comments for yourself in the interview below from around the 1h16 mark.
Mass Effect Andromeda will launch in the first quarter of 2017.
