Microsoft Game Studios and BioWare Corp. announced that the action role-playing game Mass Effect will ship to retailers throughout North America on November 20, 2007. From the creators of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire, comes an epic space saga for Xbox 360 that spans the entire galaxy. Combining RPG and tactical action elements, Mass Effect offers an engaging mix of gameplay set against a deep, multi-directional story.

"With Mass Effect, BioWare is delivering an incredible next-gen gaming odyssey. Our fans will journey through a vast, futuristic universe as they are challenged to make impactful decisions that will determine the very fate of the galaxy," said Ray Muzyka, chief executive officer, BioWare Corp. Added Greg Zeschuk, president of BioWare Corp., "The best games bring players into an immersive, realistic world that is fun to explore from beginning to end. We've achieved that in 'Mass Effect' by putting the player at the center of a compelling, cinematic storyline full of realistic characters and hundreds of exciting locations."

In Mass Effect, the galaxy is trapped in an endless cycle of extinction. Every 50,000 years, an ancient machine race invades the galaxy. With ruthless efficiency, the machines wipe out all advanced organic civilization. They leave behind only the scattered ruins of technology, destroying all evidence of their own existence. As Commander Shepard of the SS Normandy, the player will take an elite recon squad across a galaxy in turmoil, in a desperate race to stop the return of an enemy without mercy.
