A mysterious countdown timer has appeared on BioWare’s home page, as well as the pages for Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2. What is BioWare revealing on Monday?
Kotakuite Alexander pointed us to the countdown clock that’s now ticking down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until Monday morning at noon Eastern time, 9AM Pacific (3am AEDT) across most of BioWare’s current web presence. I say most, because while the timer is indeed on BioWare’s main, Mass Effect and Dragon Age pages, it does not appear on the page for Star Wars: The Old Republic, which leads me to believe the reveal has nothing to do with that game in particular.
With the Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening expansion pack was recently released, and Mass Effect 2′s Kasumi downloadable content coming in April, what could the developer possibly have up its sleeve for Monday, March 29? A new game? More downloadable content? A version of Mass Effect 2 that isn’t for the Xbox 360 or PC?
It’s time for rampant speculation. You folks know what to do.

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 9:22 AMCan you imagine running around the galaxy with Morrigan making witty, sarcastic comments about every little thing that Shepherd does?
Or better than that, fighting off darkspawn with a Krogan. You know, this idea is kinda cool…

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 10:11 AMWilling to bet expansion news for both games. A crossover would be a bit out there. However dosen’t the 29th hit on some convention in the US? I think it’s PAX East? That would be interesting…

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 10:53 AMThough I hope I’m wrong, I think it will be announcements for ME3 and Dragon Age 2 for sometime later this year or early 2011. If they already have the nuts and bolts of both game engines and aren’t changing anything drastic, it’s probably reduced the dev cycle for both games.
I just hope they don’t rush these two. In my opinion the latest Dragon Age expansion was a great RPG, but in terms of quality it wasn’t a ‘Bioware RPG’ if that makes any sense.

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 1:05 PMMaybe hiding meaning that the Protheans were enslaved? Or to fight for humanity because they won’t fight for themselves?

Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 3:37 PMHow mysterious! I’m betting expansion news, or large DLC news. I don’t want to hear about ME3 yet… I don’t want them to rush it.
