BioWare Delivers the Ultimate Value This Holiday Season With the Mass Effect Trilogy Compilation

Get all Three Critically-Acclaimed Mass Effect Games for One Low Price this Holiday and Join BioWare in Celebrating Commander Shepard on November 7th for “N7 Day”

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Winner of over 300 awards. Recipient of over 200 perfect scores. A universe that has expanded beyond games to comics, novels, apparel, collectibles, action figures and more. The Mass Effect franchise has become one of the most heralded series in video game history. BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA), today unveiled the Mass Effect Trilogy, a compilation of all three award-winning Mass Effect games in one box. Available in stores beginning November 6, 2012 for only $59.99, the Mass Effect Trilogy is the perfect holiday gift for longtime fans or friends who have yet to experience Commander Shepard’s epic journey to save the galaxy.

Coinciding with the launch of Mass Effect Trilogy, BioWare will kick off the first annual “N7 Day,” a worldwide celebration of the Mass Effect franchise on November 7, 2012. Stay tuned to Mass Effect for updates and announcements for a variety of in-game, online and live events which fans can congregate and fly their N7 colors.

The Mass Effect trilogy follows the rise of Commander Shepard from Alliance Marine to becoming the galaxy’s most elite soldier – the only soldier who can lead an all-out galactic war against an ancient alien race known as the Reapers. Heart-pounding action meets gripping interactive storytelling as players decide how their unique story unfolds over all three games. With a team of loyal soldiers at their side, each player decides how they will save the galaxy, from the weapons and abilities they utilize to the relationships they forge or break.

The Mass Effect Trilogy will be available on the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and PC on November 6, and will be available at a later date for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. Mass Effect, the game which started it all, will be available on PlayStation 3 for the first time through the Mass Effect Trilogy and digitally as a standalone title via the PlayStation Network.

BioWare Delivers the Ultimate Value This Holiday Season With the Mass Effect Trilogy Compilation

Seems EA finally bought publishing the rights for ME1 from MS. Odd that the collection wasn't announced for WiiU. Likely it will be sometime after the release of the WiiU version of ME3.

Even EA doesn't have faith in ME3 WiiU lol

 

[Major Aly]

That's good news for people who want to experience the game on consoles with their previous progress and decisions to carry over to the sequel titles...

Will the Trilogy contain all the DLCs too?

 

[manigamer]

Too soon i say ! TOO SOON.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Even EA doesn't have faith in ME3 WiiU lol

I guess it's because they didn't want to go through the hassle of building additional gamepad features into the first two games.

 

[Chandoo]

They can always half ass and add the bare minimum in the inventory. If they're going through the hassle of porting the ancient ME1 code to the PS3, they could just assign one guy to do this as well.

 

[Journeys End]

if this trilogy includes all the DLC to date then i m one happy mofo

 

[Radical]

I might buy it on PS3, only because I love Mass Effect. (sm1)

 

[Major Aly]

if this trilogy includes all the DLC to date then i m one happy mofo

I'd say that ME series is best suited to be experienced on PC

[Chandoo]

@journey I think it's been confirmed to include all DLC, probably in DLC code format.

 

[Spartan 117]

Hoping that it has all the DLC released so far. Will be an awesome package. My favourite game trilogy in one giant package, AH YESsssssssssss!!!

I like trophies myself and that special ching sound when you get a trophy

But when I start a game on PC, I always play nearly all counterparts on PC

The reason why I still haven't played Portal 2 on PS3, on which BTW it is the superior version

if thats true then i m one sad mofo

The reason why I still haven't played Portal 2 on PS3, on which BTW it is the superior version

i find the pop sound of achievements more satisfying

anyway i started playing ME1 way before it was available on PC and took my sweet time finishing it so it was obvious choice when i found out ME2 will import saves frm previous game.

also totally agreed on PS3 superior console ver.i was literally ashamed when i played it on my 360

 

[Furqan shah]

awesome i will play on PC

 

[BumperJumper]

A bit off topic but has Portal 2 got PS move support yet or not?

 

[manigamer]

^^ i think it did !

 

[Chandoo]

Trilogy has been delayed on PS3 to an undefined date.

Also they're just including the "Cerberus Network" DLC's, i-e the shitty one's, the real DLC's (Shadow Broker / Leviathan etc) will *NOT* be included. You'll still have to buy them separate.

Industry News - Mass Effect Trilogy Coming November 6 for PC and 360, PS3 Later

 

[BumperJumper]

Enjoy 20 fps Mass EFfect Trilogy on PS3 :lol:

 

[Chandoo]

at a later undefined date.
