Apparently Mass Effect 3 will be a battle to save earth and the human race. The official summary for Mass Effect 3 was listed for the PC version of the game yesterday on EA's online store.
Earth is burning. Striking from beyond known space, a race of terrifying machines have begun their destruction of the human race. As Commander Shepard, an Alliance Marine, your only hope for saving mankind is to rally the civilizations of the galaxy and launch one final mission to take back the Earth.
The release date for Mass Effect 3 is unkown, but EA executives have promised something big in the Mass Effect universe for 2011, and it's likely that Mass Effect 3 is what they were referring to.
It's rumored that Mass Effect 3 will be revealed during Spike's Video Game Award Show TONIGHT.
