Legendary Mass Effect Composer to Re-score Leaked Trailer
Sam Hulick, one of the original composers, aims to bring his own musical perspective to the leaked footage.

Music That Defines the Series
For Mass Effect fans, November 7th—known as N7 Day—is always a significant date. This year, it promises to be even more memorable: Sam Hulick, a composer for the original trilogy, has announced he is working on a new score for the recently leaked Mass Effect: Universe trailer. He intends to present his musical vision specifically for N7 Day.
Hulick is no stranger to the Mass Effect universe. He contributed to the original trilogy’s score, including iconic compositions created alongside Clint Mansell that remain a hallmark of the series. His initiative follows the emergence of the secret Mass Effect: Universe trailer online. While the existing music is thematically appropriate, the composer aims to infuse the footage with his own, deeper musical perspective.
The Legacy and Future of BioWare
For Sam Hulick, this project is more than just a musical experiment. He shares a long history of collaboration with BioWare and holds the company in high regard. On social media, Hulick expressed his sadness regarding the restructuring of BioWare teams and the departure of staff. He noted that the future of any game series relies on more than just licensing; the core value lies in the talented individuals who create these projects.

Although Hulick is currently occupied with another game, he is working to finish the re-score for the Mass Effect: Universe trailer in time for the deadline. He emphasized that he does not want to rush the process, as it is vital that the final result accurately reflects his vision for the franchise. This work, however brief, offers fans another reason to remain optimistic about the series' future.
What This Means for Fans
Mass Effect fans have long awaited news regarding the continuation of the series. While the official status of the project remains unclear, such initiatives keep community interest high. Recent compositions by Austin Wintory, combined with Hulick’s involvement, demonstrate that the musical legacy of Mass Effect remains one of the most beloved and influential aspects of the industry.
For players who have followed Commander Shepard’s journey for years, this news serves as a reminder of how crucial atmospheric music is to role-playing games. If Hulick succeeds in his plan, we will see a fresh, emotional interpretation of the Mass Effect: Universe trailer on November 7th, evoking the best years of the series.
