Originally scheduled for release this Holiday 2011, Bioware has announced that the highly anticipated action RPG sequel Mass Effect 3 will now see a release in the first quarter of 2012.

"Today we have confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will be released in the first three months of 2012," said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer Mass Effect series. "The development team is laser focused on making sure Mass Effect 3 is the biggest, boldest and best game in the series, ensuring that it exceeds everyone’s expectations."

A more specific release date will be announced at a later date, but I guess now we'll have more time to play that other RPG. i.e. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

As a consolation, Bioware released two new screenshots. Check them out below:
