Several voice actors from the original Mass Effect trilogy are reuniting for the upcoming N7 Day to celebrate all things Mass Effect. The voice cast will be joining a virtual panel that will take place this Saturday November 7th at 2PM ET/11 AM PT.
Bioware had created N7 Day as an annual day for fans to celebrate their passion, share art, and discuss their favorite moments from the Mass Effect games. It would also end up being using by the developer to market merchandise for the game franchise. The N7 Day reunion includes Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale, the voice actors for Male and Female Commander Shepard, who announced the reunion on their Twitter accounts. According to Jennifer Hale's Tweet, the link to watch the virtual panel will be provided at a later time before Saturday.
The full list of participating voice actors have voiced various memorable characters and squadmates from the Mass Effect trilogy. This includes Ali Hillis (Liara T'Soni), Steven Blum (Grunt), Kimberly Brooks (Ashley Williams), Raphael Sbarge (Kaidan Alenko), Courtenay Taylor (Jack), Alix Wilton Regan (Samantha Traynor), William Salyers (Mordin Solus), and D.C. Douglas (Legion). Along with the addition of BioWare writer Patrick Weekes and editor Karen Weekes tagging along and Ash Seville will be the moderator for the panel.
Fans will be able to submit questions and topics for the gathered voice cast to discuss about the franchise, but plenty of people are speculating that the panel will actually announce the remastered Mass Effect trilogy, or at least tie into an announcement. For a while now, there have been rumors about the original trilogy being remastered as Mass Effect: Legendary Edition for current and next-generation consoles. There were rumors of the remastered trilogy being delayed, the trilogy showing up on store listings, and reported leaks of gameplay changes.
There was even a report that the Mass Effect remaster won't be on the Switch. Not too long ago, a Mass Effect related product had been rated on the website for the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea. This was quickly taken down and would add further fuel to the fire that the remastered trilogy not only exists, but will be announced to the public soon.
People speculate that N7 Day would be the best time to announced the remastered Mass Effect trilogy, as the developer did with Mass Effect: Andromeda's first cinematic trailer. However, the voice cast hasn't revealed anything, and neither BioWare nor EA has not officially commented on the subject. Whether or not the remastered trilogy gets announced, Mass Effect fans will be able to enjoy the N7 Day reunion with the voice actors of some of their favorite characters this Saturday.
