N7 day is a day once a year that Mass Effect fans, both of Andromeda and the original trilogy, come together and celebrate the iconic Action-RPG franchise from BioWare. Though we don’t have any new game announcements at this time, the studio did want to reflect on “what N7 means to you” as a gaming community.

As we reflect back on a narrative that changed many lives, it’s easy to see how Mass Effect is more than “just a game.” It’s hope, it’s a story about never giving up – no matter the odds. It’s learning about your crew and caring about them more than just a simple NPC. It was about the relationships formed during the fight for the galaxy, both romantic and otherwise. It’s about learning your limits, what you’re willing to do – to not do – in order to get the job done. It’s about not losing yourself, but becoming yourself, and about the help along the way.
Mass Effect is more than just a game, it’s that feeling of coming home and this video shows that. With team leaders from the franchise reflecting back on those moments that gutted us the most – looking at you, Mordin – and a brief glimpse at the future, it’s no wonder that the community continues to be strong in its love of a franchise that offered something unique to each player.
BioWare also revealed in the video that the latest in the franchise, Mass Effect Andromeda, is now Xbox One X enhanced for those that are looking to take to an all new galaxy on “the most powerful console on the market.”
