Mass Effect 3 is one of the most anticipated games coming in 2012 and today, we have even more reasons to be excited. The swag included in the N7 Collector's Edition has been announced and in addition to the standard inclusions—like the art book, comic and digital soundtrack—you can enjoy an in-game robotic puppy, an N7 hoodie for Shepard and alternate outfits for your squadmates. On the possibly controversial side, the $80 edition also includes a downloadable mission and an additional character, which could anger fans of the game if that content is exclusive. It's possible, however, that they may offer the bonus character and mission in the form of a purchasable DLC post launch. Overall, the N7 Collector's Edition comes packed with goodies and it appears that leaving out the obligatory statue allows BioWare to sell it for significantly less than the $150 bundles we've been seeing. Here is full list of toys from the Mass Effect 3 website and a trailer showing them off:
- Premium metal case featuring commemorative artwork of Commander Shepard.
- 70-page hardbound art book featuring hundreds of unique and gorgeous illustrations from the BioWare development team.
