You can easily find replicas of the leather jacket that male Commander Shepard wears during off days in Mass Effect 3. But this April BioWare is going to release an official and limited edition of the casual wear.
The jacket will be made of lambskin leather and will even come with an N7-embroidered garment bag. It will also come with a voucher for a hoodie, although BioWare did not say exactly what hoodie buyers will get. Careful BioWare. The hoodie may not live up to people’s expectations. It may not be the hoodie that they’re expecting to receive after all these years. Next thing you know you’re being blasted with #RetaketheHoodie and petitions to change the hoodie online.
Only 600 jackets will be sold, so place your order at the BioWare Store ASAP. It costs $475 (USD), which isn’t so bad when you consider you’re getting three items in one. Just don’t expect too much from the hoodie okay?

With a new generation of consoles we can look forward to games from the last generation getting some remastered versions. And one of the better franchises that showed up last gen are the Mass Effect games. BioWare has confirmed that it is thinking about releasing the Mass Effect trilogy on PS4 and Xbox One.
So at least they are thinking about it. And they know that fans would eat it up too. All of the DLCs would probably be bundled in too. If they do release it, you can expect the visuals to get a boost to take advantage of the improved hardware. Since Mass Effect 4 is in the works, this would be a great move to get more fans into the franchise.

Remember the awesome fan-designed Mass Effect hoodies that BioWare was going to turn into real clothing? These are not those hoodies. But they’re still worth checking out because they’re reversible, which means you’re getting two designs for the price of one.
Etsy seller RetropopsugarUK makes these unofficial hoodies. Just send her your measurements and pick two from Garrus, Thane, Tali, Mordin or Miranda to be used as the designs for your hoodie. You read that right, there’s no Shepard design. I think a Grunt and Wrex combo hoodie would’ve been great too. Perhaps if business takes off RetropopsugarUK will add more designs.
Calibrate your browser for Etsy and order the hoodies from RetropopsugarUK for about $164 (USD).
