The Mass Effect property will be sailing into uncharted waters, as a new anime film and television series has been announced by BioWare and distributor FUNimation, which will be produced by T.O Entertainment, Inc.
”Over the last few years, we have revealed different pieces of the Mass Effect world through different media. Extending the story through an anime medium is another amazing opportunity for us,” said Mass Effect series executive producer Casey Hudson. ”Partnering with FUNimation ensures that we will bring this rich universe to life with the utmost quality and the same attention to detail that the Mass Effect games are known for.”
The anime video will tell the tale of an epic science fiction adventure set in a vast universe filled with dangerous alien life and mysterious, uncharted planets. Production of the Mass Effect anime movie has already begun, with digital and home video releases planned for summer 2012.
