Mass Effect Fans Are Trying to Make This N7 Day the Biggest One Ever

BioWare declared Nov. 7 a holiday in 2012 after the release of Mass Effect 3 . Boot up the original Mass Effect and you’ll see why: Commander Shepard’s chest armor carries the N7 emblem, the top rung of the Systems Alliance’s special-forces designation. The calendar supplied the rest: N(ovember)7. For fourteen years now, N7 Day has been BioWare’s annual celebration of Mass Effect. This year, following news about the studio’s closure, fans are taking it over — and inviting us all to participate in a critical assignment, should we choose to accept it.
