On November 7th, 2012, BioWare is going to be celebrating the 5 year anniversary of the original Mass Effect. While BioWare will be likely partying, they've invited us, the fans to join in with them in-game and online.
BioWare says they want to do something for the fans, as an opportunity to unite them and their fans in a global celebration of Mass Effect. They were vague on details but promised online events, in-game rewards, behind-the-scenes, N7 day "exclusive assets" and the usual tag line of "much, much more." BioWare has also promised updates on how we can get involved in the coming days.
It seems like a good opportunity to blow the dust off the game (either literally or figuratively) and remember why you loved the series in the first place if it's been awhile. I don't know about you, but I'm very interested to see what we can do or what we can learn from the day. Since it's so heartwarming, I've put BioWare's exact message of why they created N7 day below.
Over the last 5 years we have seen Commander Shepard’s tale unfold and it’s been as much a journey for us as our fans. We are humbled by the support and passion of each and every one of you. Mass Effect wouldn’t be what it is today without you, and sharing the experience with our fans was the first thought on our minds. We created N7 Day for you—an opportunity to unite us and our fans in a global celebration of Mass Effect.
It’s a day for everyone, where we can put down our Omni Tools, and raise a glass of Serrice Ice Brandy (or soda for the younger crowd) while we relive our favorite memories from the series.
Be sure to mark November 7th, N7 Day on your calendars, and join us for a memorable day of festivities—Your day.
