Mass Effect: Paragon Lost is an anime movie starring James Vega from Mass Effect 3. The movie is a prequel, and details Vega's time as a Special Forces squad leader assigned to protect a colony from the Collectors. In conjunction with Comic Con, Funimation has released a brand new trailer for the film.
Update: EA has officially confirmed many of the known details, including the new classes, maps, weapons, and Platinum difficulty. It also teased new weapon mods and upgrades, and the addition of a new escorting objective.
BioWare is slated to detail new Mass Effect 3 downloadable content packs at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, but at this rate of leaks it won't have anything left to reveal. Fans have sifted through the game files even more, finding more complete descriptions of the new classes, powers, and uncovering a new difficulty mode.
A rumored piece of Mass Effect 3 single-player downloadable content has been unofficially confirmed. Anthony Skordi, the voice actor for the titular "Leviathan" character, has let the cat out of the bag, which lends credence to the other details we had heard about the plot of the DLC.
Love it or hate it, but EA and BioWare have been throwing a lot of support behind Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode. Best of all, every expansion pack released so far has been free. Next week's "Earth" pack promises to continue expanding the game's online offering--and yep, it's still free.
You may not know the name Spike Murphy, but you almost certainly know of him. He made headlines when he filed a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) complaint against EA for the ending of Mass Effect 3. In doing so, he crystallized many of the complaints against BioWare -- and the backlash against those complaints as well. He is easily one of the most vocal figures against BioWare's contentious ending, so now that the company has released the Extended Cut, we wondered what he thinks of the changes.
So far, the vast majority of Mass Effect 3 downloadable content has been for the multiplayer. But in a primarily single-player game, it only makes sense that BioWare had plans to produce new story content too. That may have been put to the side to focus on the recently released Extended Cut ending, but now that it's out of the way fans seem to have uncovered plans for a new story mission. Spoilers follow.
As promised, the Mass Effect 3 "Extended Cut" downloadable content is available today. It's available for the Xbox 360 and will be coming to PC soon, but the PlayStation 3 version isn't coming until July 4. Spoilers follow.
What happened after Commander Shepard saved the galaxy from the Reapers? We'll get to find out a little more tomorrow, when BioWare launches Mass Effect 3's free Extended Cut DLC. "You can never completely satisfy everyone," executive producer Casey Hudson has said, but BioWare is keen to learn from feedback.

Mass Effect 3 is finally ready to assuage fan complaints about its ending. BioWare announced today that the "Extended Cut" downloadable content, which gives more clarity to the ending, will hit next Tuesday, June 26 in North America.

Vocal haters of the Mass Effect 3 ending won't be happy, but an advertising watchdog agency has cleared Electronic Arts in an investigation whether the publisher's ads for the game misled players about how their actions would impact the finale.
A ruling from the Advertising Standards Agency determined that, while EA may have overreached a bit in its claims in a Mass Effect 3 ad that "decisions you make completely shape your experience and outcome," the three endings were different enough and the outcomes were determined by how the players performed in the three games.
The Mass Effect games have provided quite a bit of entertainment--and drama--for fans since 2007 when the first title launched, following the exploits of Commander Shepard and his team. The series has also spawned four books and several comics, as well as a number of mobile spin-offs. Now, it has inspired a fan film entitled Red Sand, starring the actor who voiced male Shepard in the series.
Shacknews had the chance to talk with producer Paul DeNigris, director Caleb Evans and the film's star, Mark Meer, about the project.
The next multiplayer pack for Mass Effect 3 will take place on Earth, according to newly leaked details.
The "Earth" pack will add maps for Rio, Vancouver, and London. It is also said to add a Piranha assault shotgun, Acolyte pistol, Typhoon light machine gun, and six human classes: Destroyer, Paladin, Demolisher, Slayer, Shadow, and Fury.
Showing off some of the big fancy 'hardcore' games coming to the Wii U, Nintendo revealed during E3 that both Mass Effect 3 and Trine 2 are coming to the console too.
Trine 2 will be in shiny Director's Cut format, though what exactly is different has yet to be revealed.
Update: Added additional comment from Meer regarding DLC recording sessions.
The ending of Mass Effect 3 surprised many people, including the actor who played the male voice of Commander Shepard, Canadian actor Mark Meer. He has been working with BioWare since the inception of the Mass Effect franchise, giving vocal life to the many choices Shepard has faced throughout the trilogy. But even Meer didn't expect Mass Effect 3's controversial ending.
"As an actor, it's pretty much my job to help bring the vision of the writers to life," he said in an interview with Shacknews. "It wasn't necessarily what I expected, but then again, I didn't know what to expect."
As if saving the galaxy weren't already tricky enough with the Reapers, Cerberus and Geth in your way, Mass Effect 3 still has a bug or two to nip at your neck and drain a little of your game-enthusiasm-blood. Patch 1.03 is rolling out now, warping to PC today then landing on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on Thursday.
