Reaching the ‘gold’ status is the developers way of saying that their project has been signed off as ready for launch and to be mass produced, ideally reaching the current release date set for the product.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a remaster of the first 3 Mass Effect titles - Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3. You can read up on the big changes to all three games here, but essentially, this version features improved visual and technical performance in all games with tweaks to gameplay, especially in the first Mass Effect. They even included Mass Effect 3’s default female Commander Shepard in Mass Effect 1 and 2, giving players the option to play as that version of Commander Shepard at the beginning of her journey.
