14 December 2010

It’s humanity’s last stand and Commander Shepard will once again have to step up and save the known universe.

Weeks of rumour and speculation culminated in a teaser trailer for Mass Effect 3, aired for the first time at the Spike TV VGAs. Catch the trailer below.

Mass Effect 3 is set to launch globally in holiday 2011 on the Xbox, PlayStation 3, and PC. This marks the first time that the Mass Effect franchise will launch on all three major platforms simultaneously. Mass Effect has a strong legacy to build upon, and it will be interesting to see how BioWare tops the previous title.

Mass Effect 2 was awarded with the “Best RPG” and “Best Xbox 360 Game” of the year awards at the VGAs and BioWare was named “Studio of the Year.” So, a good start then.

We can’t wait to show you what the team is doing to make Mass Effect 3 an even bigger success.”

The Mass Effect franchise will make its first appearance on the PlayStation 3 console when Mass Effect 2 ships to retailers on 21 January 2011. The PlayStation 3 demo of Mass Effect 2 will be available on PlayStation Network starting December 22, 2010 in Europe.
