The future of the Mass Effect range is still unclear – after Mass Effect: Andromeda fell short of expectations, the brand is on hold for the time being. Nevertheless, there is something new that fans can look forward to: An official mash-up pack from Minecraft will kill the entire crew Commander Shepard in block form,
What is included in the mass effect extension?
Skins: In addition to the entire Normandy crew (including the DLC characters Zaeed, Kasumi and Javik), other central characters such as the Unknown or Kai Leng can also be played. There are a total of 36 new skins.
Locations: You can explore the Mars facility known from the game series. As in the third part of the role-playing trilogy, this is taken up by Cerberus. You can put the terrorist organization on the block helmets properly and rebuild your base as you wish. By the way, there are also chickens on Mars, as can be seen in the following gameplay video:
Other content: As is usual with mash-up packs, there are menus and soundtracks to match the mass effect theme. The latter come from Mass Effect 3.
The expansion is actually not new: Already in 2014 a texture pack with almost identical content appeared, at that time only for Xbox 360 and Xbox One, later also for PlayStation 4. Resourceful PC users found workarounds, but the expansion was not officially available for them ,
You can buy the Mass Effect extension in the Marketplace. It is only available in the Bedrock edition, not for the Java edition. If you are less interested in science fiction and more in magic: A fan project turns Minecraft into an almost full Harry Potter RPG.
