Mass Effect: Infiltrator and Datapad App Revealed

Both Kotaku and GameSpot are reporting that EA and BioWare will be releasing a new game called Mass Effect: Infiltrator on Apple’s iOS “very soon”, and that it will “impact the Galaxy at War mode” and “unlock exclusive weaponry” in Mass Effect 3. The news comes from a press event that EA hosted in New York earlier today, where they also announced a new “Datapad” app that will allow us 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.” We don’t have a lot to go on and haven’t seen a single screenshot yet, so I’ll just leave with you with the Infiltrator description until a formal press release is sent out:

Take the all-out galactic war in Mass Effect 3 on-the-go with Infiltrator, a fully-featured iOS third-person shooter showcasing stunning graphics and authentic weapons and powers from the Mass Effect series.

Inspired by the deep and immersive Mass Effect 3 universe, in Infiltrator players will help to free prisoners from a hostile Cerberus base and will receive rewards for collecting evidence of Cerberus’ crimes along the way. 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.
