Mass Effect 3 voice cast revealed in video

A new promotional video released by EA highlights how the characters have changed for Mass Effect 3.

13

As the end of the trilogy, Mass Effect 3 will feature many familiar voices, reprising their roles for Shepard's final mission. Of course Martin Sheen, Seth Green, Tricia Helfer, Carrie-Anne Moss, Keith David, and more are coming back for the sequel. But who's new this time around?

Freddie Prinze, Jr. will play James Vega, "a marine who will help Commander Shepard take Earth back." Oddly, G4 reporter Jessica Chobot will also make an appearance, as new reporter Diana Allers (pictured above).

In addition to the expected babbling about how wonderful the game is, a new promotional video released by EA also highlights how the characters have changed for ME3. EDI, an artificial intelligence introduced in Mass Effect 2, sounds like she will grow quite a bit in the finale.

Mass Effect 3 will be available on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 on March 6th.

        Btw "stay tuned I not done yet" (said the - illusive man) Mass Effect 4 hint, not that its a surprise but is 3 not suppose to be the last in the series?

        Or is that just a hint of another video? Thoughts something or nothing?

          They said shortly after 3 was announced it was the end of the Shepard arc but would be the end of the Mass Effect universe. I'm betting that they will spin it off into a MMO since they have a lot of the ground work in place with SWTOR and it would be their own IP and wouldn't have to pay any royalties to Lucas.

        It's funny because I first saw the screenshot and said... whoa... that chick looks like Jessica Chobot.. then... HOLY SHIT.. it IS Jessica Chobot!

        I'm ok with this... as long as my Shepard will be able to bang her.

      They seem to just cover off all the people who will be in the game - i.e. didn't die in 1 or 2.

      Could have had a few more of the actors though!

      not a huge fan of games using known actors for voice overs, for me, it kills whatever suspension of disbelief there is.

      in other news, the next Mass Effect novel is out, or has been out for sometime...either way, i just picked it up at my local waterstones this week.

      for those who haven't read the books, they are just brilliant. centered outside Shepard's story, i highly recommend them - it's not your typical video game novelisation drivel

      ME3 has pretty much become a 'buy it 6-8 months out at the earliest and discounted, or not until the re-release with all the DLC content and discounted, or not at all' ... which I never fucking would have believed, a few months ago.

        January 31, 2012 3:55 PM

        Wish they would re-release ME2 with all the DLC.

        I'm only going to buy ME3 at launch if there's a decent amazon sale. Otherwise, yeah. I can wait for this.

        There's a male Shepard?

        No, I think you're mistaken, Shepard is female and her voice actress is awesome.

      I like how they didn't introduce Mark Meer who is the voice of the male shepard and pretty much the main image of the series. lawl
