We simply cannot get enough of Mass Effect, especially when new Unreal Engine adventures give us the chance to keep Shepard’s story alive.
Even though BioWare intends to release a new Mass Effect eventually, fans have a long wait to endure before that happens.
And new games we once thought were safe have since been cancelled after six years of development.
It’s a turbulent ride being a Mass Effect fan.

There is a plus side to this bumpy ride, though, and it comes in the form of new creations like this Unreal Engine offering.
Mass Effect: Pilgrimage is a “drama/thriller fan-series" that’s currently being worked on by Redditor sudsypoo.
Not to be that person, but have you seen the Dragon Age: The Veilguard official reveal?
As they revealed in their post, this is still very much still a work in progress.
Described as a “labour of love”, the pilot episode for the show is already “wrapping up”, meaning it shouldn’t be long until we see the first fruits of all this effort.
Set in 2186, it takes place before Mass Effect 3.
Intended to be a "seven-episode standalone series”, each episode is expected to last between “10-15 minutes”.
“Cerberus has taken control of the lawless Omega station, and various mercenary organisations have fled to rebuild substantial losses.
One of these organisations – the Blue Suns – has re-allocated their remaining manpower to the human-controlled colony, Elysium [..] It is within Elysium's capital city of Illyria that our story takes place.”
We’re loving the setup so far, as too are the fans.
Redditor FunDragonfruit1569 said they “can’t wait” for its release, while another remarked that “the hype is real”.
Although we've only seen stills from the show thus far, the level of detail the OP has managed to capture is admirable.
Our only hope is that it lives up to expectations and scratches that itch while we wait for the next ME title to release.
With Dragon Age: The Veilguard coming out first, it’s going to be a while before we see official reveals from BioWare.
