In Mass Effect 3, an ancient 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 players take control of Commander Sheppard, the only one who can stop them. The price of failure is extinction.
Players determine how events will play out, which planets to explore, and whom to form alliances with while rallying a force to eliminate the Reaper threat once and for all.
How players wage this war is completely up to them: go into combat with guns blazing or use cover to plan a more tactical assault; utilise a 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 is set to be released March 9 on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Watch the ‘Take Earth Back’ trailer.
