Today is N7 Day, which, in years past, has been when BioWare has celebrated all things Mass Effect, but there isn’t really a whole lot to get excited about this year. Mass Effect: Andromeda was a disaster and it’s unclear when (or if) the franchise might return, and BioWare’s latest sci-fi action-RPG Anthem has had plenty of troubles of its own.

　　Ah, but BioWare hasn’t completely forgotten N7 Day, as they’ve quietly added four new Mass-Effect-inspired skins, a wrap, and a “Shepard Shuffle” emote to Anthem. Each of the four skins can only be applied to a single javelin class, with each being inspired by a Mass Effect alien race -- Ranger (Turian), Storm (Asari), Interceptor (Quarian), and Colossus (Krogan). You can check out the new skins below (thanks to Redditor CptnCasx for the screenshot).

　　So, obviously these new skins are a gift to BioWare’s long-suffering hardcore fans, right? You’d think, but nope! Each skin costs 61,000 coins or 850 Shards (Anthem’s premium currency). The exchange rate is roughly $1 for 100 shards, so yes, BioWare is selling these “celebratory” skins for over $8 each. Oh, and the silly Commander Shepard dance emote? That costs 475 Shards, or almost $5. You can earn them in-game, but still, yeesh. If you had any lingering doubt Anthem has fully entered the “milk as much money as we can from the few whales we have left” phase, well, I imagine it’s gone now.

　　Aside from the skins, BioWare has made a few scattered tweets about N7 Day. Don’t expect any big announcements or anything – it seems this will be the extent of the celebrations.
