Amazon Nearing a Deal to Develop a MASS EFFECT Series Adaptation
Amazon Studios is incredibly happy with how well The Wheel of Time series is doing since it launched, and they are looking to expand in more genre projects focusing on fantasy and sci-fi. One of those future projects that they are looking to develop is a series adaptation of Electronic Arts’ Mass Effect.
According to Deadline, Amazon Studios is ‘nearing a deal to develop a series based on the best-selling sci-fi video game franchise.” Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke went on to share:
“You will see us continuing to invest in fantasy genre of all kinds, we have a genre-focused team on the ground in Studios who work tirelessly with our creative partners on those slates, and you can look forward to more.’
Mass Effect was created by Casey Hudson, Drew Karpyshyn, and Preston Watamaniuk. The franchise is set in an alternate universe where humanity and several alien civilizations have colonized the Milky Way galaxy using technology seemingly left behind by an advanced precursor civilization.
Mass Effect is an awesome and epic video game franchise. if this deal goes through and Amazon lands the deal, which they most likely will, I hope that they bring in a talented creative team to develop the series.
