Sydney, Australia \u2013 June 7, 2011 \u2013 Not everyone will survive. Leading video game developer BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), announced today that the epic action RPG, Mass Effect\u2122 3, will arrive at retailers worldwide beginning March 6, 2012. In Mass Effect 3, an ancient alien race known only as \u201cReapers\u201d, has launched an all-out invasion of the galaxy, 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, as Commander Shepard, must lead the counter assault to take it back. Only you can determine how events will play out, which planets you will save from annihilation and which alliances you will form or abandon as you rally the forces of the galaxy to eliminate the Reaper threat once and for all. Mass Effect 3 will make its world debut at the Electronic Entertainment Expo from June 7 -9, 2011. Show attendees can see Mass Effect 3 at EA\u2019s booth #1601 in South Hall.<\/p>\n
