Got this bit of news in email this morning about Mass Effect 3:
We have received new release date information related to your pre-ordered video game in the order you placed on March 04 2011 (Order#XXX). The release date for the video game listed below has been changed by the publisher, and we want to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date:
“Mass Effect 3”
Release date: March 31 2012
Estimated arrival date: April 03 2012
My reasonable, not at all overwrought reaction after the fold:
Console yourself with Skyrim, RAGE, Battlefield 3, Deus Ex (which should all be good on the PC)!
I wasn’t at all surprised. The original Mass Effect was released in November 2007. Mass Effect 2 was released in January 2010, 26 months later. Assuming the same gap between ME2 and ME3 yields a projected release date of… March 2012.
After the rush-job that was Dragon Age 2 I want them to take as much time as they need to get ME3 done right.
