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 that 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.”
The “Galaxy at War” system is the same overarching system that ties into the game’s surprisingly cool multiplayer .
