Looks like yesterday’s Mass Effect 3 demo date was an early leak. Electronic Arts officially announced the demo today, coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on February 14, just under a month before the game launches on March 6.
The demo will be one of the first pre-launch demos to support full voice recognition through Xbox 360’s Kinect.
“We are excited to be able to give gamers an expansive demo that will put them right on the front lines of this all-out galactic war,” said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer of the Mass Effect series. “The entire scale of the game is bigger than anything we’ve ever done. With its intense action, deep customization and raw emotional power, Mass Effect 3 will deliver a spectacular action RPG experience to fans of the series and newcomers alike.”
In addition to single-player, the demo will also contain a portion of co-op, accessible by players starting February 17. Consumers who’ve activated their Battlefield 3 online pass are able to qualify for early access to the co-op portion (February 14). Other early access opportunities will be announced in the near future.
