With the Mass Effect world being put on a temporary hiatus so that the studio can focus on their new IP Anthem, and with so many of the original Mass Effect devs working on the upcoming game, it only makes sense that the team would want to pay homage to the legend that is Commander Shepard and the N7 operative.

As a huge Mass Effect fan myself (hello, 29 playthroughs), I am absolutely digging this design and I know without a shadow of a doubt that this will be my go-to customization for my freelancer.
Anthem officially makes its debut on February 22, 2019 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC players.
