Thinking of Mass Effect 3? Thinking of charming that Salarian and snatching some Outer Space ‘XXX’ throwdown wrestling? Think again, as BioWare’s teases Mass Effect 3 for a ‘Holiday’ 2011 release, the continuation of this year’s popular and acclaimed Mass Effect 2.

With London in ruins, (hey did I just see a Collector urinating on the Cenotaph?) the Collectors are kicking Commander Shepherd where it hurts after pestering and harvesting those outer colonies for their human settlers. Will the higher ups in the Citadel ratify a Bill to investigate the issue or will he have to take matters into his own hands? According to the full skinny, hastily taken down from the EA Store website, this isn’t about lamenting the destruction of landmarks you might know but something much more closer to our hearts…

“Earth is burning. Striking from beyond known space, a race of terrifying machines have begun their destruction of the human race. As Commander Shepard, an Alliance Marine, your only hope for saving mankind is to rally the civilizations of the galaxy and launch one final mission to take back the Earth.”

Ah, pity they didn’t mention a faster elevator in the Normandy, but roll-on 2011!
