The much awaited culmination of the Mass Effect franchise, Mass Effect 3, has been pushed back to early 2012.  The delay was released via a post on the Bioware message board and Facebook page.

The team stated:

Mass Effect 3 will be released in the first three months of 2012. 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.” – Casey Hudson, Executive Producer Mass Effect series

This is unfortunate news as I'm sure most gamers are very much looking forward to Mass Effect 3, but it sounds like it's for polish as opposed to "business reasons" (looking at you, Gears of War 3).  This will surely free up some time for us to play through the slew of new games that will make their 2011 release dates this year.  Use this time wisely, but keep your eye on the horizon!
