BioWare recently announced that they’ll be releasing two apps for the iOS platform. One of them will be in form of a Datapad which is much like a companion app for the game, and the other is an actual third person shooter! More info about them after the jump.
Via Kotaku (regarding Mass Effect Infiltrator):
At a press event in New York today, EA announced that BioWare’s hit Mass Effect franchise will be coming to iOS as a new game called Mass Effect: Infiltrator, which will tie in with their upcoming game Mass Effect 3.
The game was described as a “fully featured iOS third-person shooter” which will showcase “stunning graphics and authentic weapons and powers from the Mass Effect series.”
The story for Infiltrator will involve helping free prisoners from a hostile Cerberus base, and players will “receive rewards” for collecting evidence of Cerberus’ crimes.
The aforementioned rewards play out in how the game will tie in with Mass Effect 3. According to EA, “Every completed rescue and intelligence discovery in Infiltrator will increase a player’s Galactic Readiness rating directly through the ‘Galaxy at War’ system in Mass Effect 3.”
Regarding the Mass Effect 3 Datapad:
BioWare also announced an app called “Datapad” that would allow you to “stay in touch with all of the info in Mass Effect 3,” check the status of the war in the galaxy map, and even get messages from game characters.
This is really awesome. Ties in to the Galaxy at War system, you can stay involved with the Mass Effect universe through these two apps which would most likely be in your pocket the entire time. The third person shooter app intrigues me. I hope it plays and controls well like Dead Space on mobile.
