Mass Effect composer Sam Hulick has announced plans to release a re-scored version of the leaked Mass Effect: Universe trailer, featuring his original music, in time for N7 Day. Hulick, who contributed to the music of all three original Mass Effect games, shared his intention on Bluesky, stating that he wants the trailer to properly represent his "musical vision" for the project.
Hulick's involvement with the Mass Effect franchise is well-documented. He previously worked alongside Clint Mansell on the score for Mass Effect 3. Following EA's closure of BioWare, Hulick expressed his sadness about the end of an era and hoped for the best for the studio's employees. He also commented on the "Save Mass Effect" petition, emphasizing that the core issue lies with the individuals who lost their jobs rather than just the IP itself.
When the Mass Effect: Universe trailer initially leaked, Hulick began working on his own musical interpretation. He first teased his work on Patreon and later revealed his N7 Day release goal on Bluesky. He acknowledged the tight deadline, as he is also currently pitching for a new game, but expressed a commitment to not rushing the project.
Fans eager to hear Hulick's take on the Mass Effect universe can anticipate the release on November 7. The leaked trailer itself, which features footage that was not officially released by BioWare or EA, has been circulating online and has garnered significant attention from the fanbase. The original trailer can be viewed via a Reddit link.
