EA has teased that some exclusive new Mass Effect 3 information will be revealed towards the end of the month -- that's this morning's Top Story.
A news post onEA's Czech Republic portalsite has revealed the news that the Bratislava Game Expo will play host to a wide range of EA titles, including an"exclusive"reveal of some newMass Effect 3information. The event is set to take place between March 18 and 20 at theIstropolis exhibition centerin the Slovakian capital.
The event will provide a showcase for some of EA's hottest new titles, including Crysis 2, Dragon Age II and The Sims Medieval. EA also promise a series of"lectures"and presentations, which is where the Mass Effect 3 information will be revealed. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet up with EA representatives and get their hands on the Dead Space and Need for Speed: Shift series. Crysis 2 will also be playable in full 3D.
The Bratislava Game Expo may seem like a curious place for EA to reveal Mass Effect 3, but the event has a few advantages over the high-profile American events. Firstly, it's not in America, so gamers outside the United States can feel more"involved"in the often rather American-dominated industry. Secondly, the Bratislava Game Expo focuses on the general public which, according to EA's site,"means a minimum of VIP events, presentations or journalistic meetings behind closed doors,"a stark contrast to E3's very exclusive restrictions. EA also claims that"the combination of activities and lecture programs merge the best of American and European operations of similar types"and promises to"play, entertain, teach and charm."
The European games industry is sometimes criticized for not having any events on a similar scale to last weekend's PAX East, but the Bratislava Game Expo, which runs alongside a companion Anime Expo, certainly sound like it's hoping to take a shot, promising presentations, debates and workshops on the subject of"video games, card games, deck games {and} role-playing games."EA's high-profile presence at the show certainly sounds like they are taking it seriously as an important event.
Tickets to the expo cost€12.90. Find out morehere.
