Simultaneous Launch for Mass Effect 3

After the official reveal on Spike TV’s Video Games Award show, Electronic Arts confirmed this morning that Mass Effect 3 will launch simultaneously on the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in the 2011 holiday season. Mass Effect 3 will be the climax of the series, bringing Sheppard and company back to Earth to fight off the Reaper invasion.

The global launch is notable as it is the first time a Mass Effect title has launched on all three major platforms at the same time. In fact, the franchise has still yet to be released on the Playstation 3, with the critically acclaimed sequel arriving on January 18, 2011 in North America and January 21, 2011 in Europe.
