Mass Effect: Legendary Edition outperformed expectations

Electronic Arts reported its earnings today, and the company revealed that it is very happy with the success of some of its recent releases. In particular, the updated Mass Effect: Legendary Edition was a major launch for the publisher and developer BioWare. But even with all of the hype for the return of that series, the game ended up outperforming EA’s internal forecasts.

“The launch of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition … reignited passionate fans around the world,” EA chief executive officer Andrew Wilson said on an investor call today. “[And it drove] sound performance that was well above our expectations.”
