Playing the upcoming demo of Mass Effect 3 from BioWare will net you goodies in Kingdoms of Amalur, and vice versa. 38 Studios is thrilled about this ”massive one-two punch”.
This is an ongoing trend with EA titles that playing one unlocks some goodies in another, like Dead Space and Dragon Age did for Mass Effect 2. Both RPGs are due early this year.
”We are thrilled to have the opportunity to deliver this massive one-two punch with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and Mass Effect 3. We wanted to provide fans of the Mass Effect franchise with a unique set of rewards for diving into the expansive universe of Reckoning,” said 38 Studios founder, Curt Schilling.
“We are excited to be collaborating with 38 Studios to bring pieces inspired by the Mass Effect universe into the world of Reckoning and to have items designed by Todd McFarlane in Mass Effect 3,” added BioWare’s Dr. Ray Muzyka.
“This is an awesome way to reward our fans with unique content that not only looks cool, but also delivers some great in-game benefits.” To unlock the bonus gear you need to play each of the game demos. The soon to release taster for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning lets us experience the tutorial mode and a slice of the open world.
The Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo unlocks:
•Reckoner Knight Armor: This armor will maximize damage done in close-quarters combat while a beefed–up power cell feeds energy into weapon systems to increase projectile velocity.
•The Chakram Launcher: This weapon uses a fabricator to manufacture lightweight, explosive ammunition discs. This weapon is earned after completing the Reckoning demo and watching the trailer at the end.
The Mass Effect 3 demo unlocks:
•N7 Armor: Players can unlock special armor inspired by Commander Shepard’s iconic N7 battle armor including Helm, Cuirass, Gauntlets, Chausses and Greaves.
•Onmiblade Daggers: A holographic blade stemming from Commander Shepard’s Omni-Tool, the Omni-blade allows players to stab enemies in close combat. Once players install and play the Mass Effect 3 demo, they will unlock the daggers.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC February 7th.
Mass Effect 3 releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC March 6th.
