E3: Mass Effect 3 Trailer & Release Date

Straight from the Electronic Arts conference and into your living room, we've got footage of Commander Shepard mixing it up with gargantuan foes.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

If Mass Effect 3’s showing at the Microsoft conference was a bit too, um, “Kinectish” for your tastes, we’ve got the antidote to fix you right up. In the above trailer from EA’s presser, the Commander and his crew are shown in fighting for their lives in huge battles, the scope of which, have never been seen before in BioWare’s Milky Way RPGs. This is the penultimate battle against the Reapers that fans knew was coming. Now it’s up to Shepard to save the billions that dismissed his warnings of the Reaper threat as nonsensical. Get ready to save the galaxy from imminent destruction on March 6th, 2012.
