BioWare's latest N7 Bounty Weekend for Mass Effect 3's multiplayer mode, Operation Silencer, is the second to be available on PlayStation 3, joining Xbox 360 and Windows PC platforms after the previous challenge's zero-hour decision finally brought the Sony console into the mix. The PS3 had been left out of these weekend challenges from the start for reasons that still aren't entirely clear, but that BioWare said had to do with Sony.
The new Mass Effect 3 weekend challenge runs from May 11-14, 2012, kicking off tomorrow at 6pm PST and running until Monday at 5pm PST. The Allied Goal for the weekend is to snuff out 3,000,000 of the Reaper faction's Banshees and the squad goal is to survive a Gold match on any map against any enemy with a full team extraction. No easy task, to say the least.
A separate post on the BioWare Blog also confirms that all PS3 players left out of Operations Goliath and Raptor will be receiving the Commendation packs for those, free of charge.
Earlier this year, BioWare was hit with layoffs as part of a downsizing of parent company Electronic Arts, but fans have been reassured that the next Mass Effect game hasn’t been impacted. Likewise, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s development is still churning along, with BioWare putting it at the forefront of its focus and rumors suggesting that it could launch sometime later this year. Fans might be getting another look at the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at the Summer Game Fest in June.
If the recently posted job offering for a temporary development manager is any indication, BioWare could have yet another surprise up its sleeve for when Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are nearing completion. This mystery BioWare video game could truly be anything, from another spin-off of its two major properties to something entirely new. All there is to go on at the moment is a vague mention in the job posting, and it might still be some time before BioWare is ready to confirm any new games in its pipeline.
So a studio that spent years on anthem then this dragon age thing is now also working on another ip along with mass effect,
You think they would be worried that there brand has been on 3 major screw ups
Dragon age 3 launched broken with the frostbite engine yes its a good game but you can see in the late game how rough it was
anthem......
Mass effect 4 well that dev team was fired so yeah.....
They should make sure this new dragon age is a goat instead of putting more work on the table
How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.
Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
During a part of his interview with Minnmax, Mac Walters gave details of why he chose to leave BioWare.
I must say, I tried out the online portion of the game for the first time a few days ago and I really like it. They did a great job.
I'm really enjoying the Krogan Adept right now - anytime I can charge in and bitch slap somebody ... <well> it's a good day XD
sweet, good to hear us with the ps3 version get some of the love.
ill definitely be playing some ME3 MP this weekend.
