As one of perhaps the most anticipated titles so far this year, Mass Effect 3 has been receiving a lot of promotions from Bioware and Electronic Arts in the form of trailers, screenshots, game demos and word of mouth even if it is debatable if the game even required even half of it to do well in sales. The game is due for release on the 8th March 2012 which is next week and to celebrate this upcoming launch, the two companies have released a Launch Trailer for the game which I have included above.
The game is the third numbered installment in the series and will be available on each the PC, XBox360 and the Playstation 3. Do expect a review of the game late next week.
Not everyone will survive. An ancient alien race, known only as “Reapers”, has launched an all-out invasion leaving nothing but a trail of destruction in their wake. Earth has been taken, the galaxy is on the verge of total annihilation, and you are the only one who can stop them. The price of failure is extinction.
You are Commander Shepard, a character that you can forge in your own image. You determine how events will play out, which planets to explore, and whom to form alliances with as you rally a force to eliminate the Reaper threat once and for all.
How you wage this war is completely up to you: go into combat with guns blazing or use cover to plan a more tactical assault. Utilize your squad to full effect or take a lone wolf approach. Rain death from a distance or go toe–to-toe with enemies using devastating melee attacks.
Mass Effect 3 will react to each decision you make as you play through a truly unique experience of your own creation. The war for Earth has begun, decide how it ends.
