BioWare announced back at the end of 2010 that they’d be releasing their third game in the Mass Effect series, promising that it would be their best game yet. We’re now just a few weeks away from the release, which is no doubt highly anticipated for fans of the first two.
I have to admit that I’ve never played any of the Mass Effect games, but I know plenty of people who love them and who are looking forward to this third instalment.
BioWare have released a new trailer for the game, with thanks to ComingSoon.net for the heads up, entitled ‘Special Forces Trailer’, which gives you a chance to take a look at the multi-player mode, and includes details about the races and classes you’ll be able to play. Without wanting to step well outside my territory, I’ll assume that if you’re reading this, you know much, much more about the games than I do, so I’ll give you the official synopsis, and let you read the official synopsis:
“Mass Effect 3 plunges you into an all-out galactic war to take Earth back from a nearly unstoppable foe – and how you fight that war is entirely up to you. Groundbreaking interactive storytelling drives the heart-pounding action in which each decision you make could have devastating and deadly consequences. You are Commander Shepard, the only one who can save Earth from annihilation. But you are not alone. At your side is a team of elite, battle-hardened soldiers ready for your command. Flank enemies with your squad or take them down lone wolf. Use cover or go in guns blazing. Unleash tactical assaults from a distance or go toe-to-toe with enemies using devastating melee assaults and the deadly omniblade. On March 6th, 2012 the war for Earth begins on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.”
Two new screenshots have also gone up over at the game’s official website, and they look pretty damn sweet. Judging solely on the basis of this trailer and these new images, I’d say fans of the game are probably in for a real treat in a month and a half. The camerawork and switching perspectives in the trailer look so good.
Mass Effect 3 will be released here in the UK on 9th March, and, as the above synopsis says, will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on the day of release. For now, here’re the new trailer and images to feast your eyes on. As usual with the images, you can click to enlarge. Enjoy.
