BioWare reveals fan-created female Shepard

MCV Staff 30th August 2011 Business News

Following a lengthy voting process, BioWare has revealed the design of the female Commander Shepard that will from some editions of Mass Effect 3.

The lovely lady was selected via a consultation process with fans.

It should be noted, of course, that the vast majority of Mass Effect’s fan-base are male – a delicious irony considering they were the ones enlisted to select which type of female Shepard is best suited to be the girl-appeasing face of the franchise.

The final Ms Shepard is a redhead and, quite frankly, really hot. She’s drawn by concept artist Patryk Olejniczak.

She will adorn the front cover of the Mass Effect 3: Collector’s Edition SKU, marking the first time in the series that male Shepard has not been granted the solo spotlight.

Mass Effect 3 will hit Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in Q1 2012.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games.
