Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edish Video Reveals a Familiar Face
Written Friday, November 18, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

If you want to go into Mass Effect 3 cold, then we suggest backing out now while you still can. An incredibly fleeting glimpse of a returning character from Mass Effect 2 has been spotted in a trailer for the Mass Effect 3: N7 Collector's Edition, which despite knocking around the web today, we covered back in June.

The eagle-eyed folks over at PC Gamer have managed to spot a certain tattooed convict in the video, as the pages flick over in the Collector's Edition Mass Effect 3 art book around the 30-second mark. That's right, it looks like Jack is returning to the Normandy, albeit with a funky new hairdo and some extra clothing, rather than the scanty nipple straps she wore in the last game.

Jack became a bit of a mainstay in our ME2 crew, so we're happy to see her possibly returning for Mass Effect 3. Whether or not she'll still be part of your squad is currently unknown, but chances are if she's in the art book with a new design, then she'll be somewhere in the game.

Check out the fleeting image of Jack from the Mass Effect 3: N7 Collector's Edition, which is retailing for $79.99 in North America and £69.99 in the UK. Mass Effect 3 is out in March 2012.

[Thanks, Mix]

@6 I think they said all characters introduced would be included in one form or another, even if just as cameos. I hope Thane's there. I liked his character a lot :

Eteremely Limited Edition my arse they are planning on shippiny 60,000 copies minimum and if pre orders soar they will produce more if demand suggests, companies use the "limited" statments to get fans panic pre ordering i.e. #5

@8: Tali better be in ME3! I was disappointed that she wasn't a 'lover' option in the first ME, but was thrilled when you could flirt with her and she would get all shy and studdery and after long enough get to at least kinda see what she'd be like without her mask once you 'hook up' with her in ME2!

And to be honest I did a lot of renegade stuff while playing Paragon just to get on Jack's good side so I could also see how she was as a love interest on my 2nd playthrough (I dont know you'd kinda have to be a dick to impress her)and after it was all said and done id say it was worth it! Hope she returns as part of your crew as well in ME3. :D

I'm not a fan of Jack. I usually get her killed off on the suicide mission so I doubt I'll be seeing her. Still, it's good to see further confirmation that past squadmated will be involved. Even though I only need Ash and Garrus.

Oh and for those wondering...

Tali was spotted in one of the trailers walking alongside Garrus and Shepard.

Search "Mass Effect 3 E3 2011 Stage Demo". She's at the 7:56 mark.

@8) Tali is confirmed to be a squadmate if she survived ME2 (same with Garus).

Anyways, It's nice to see Jack with her hair grown out a bit. Her outfit though makes me think she raided Emma Frost's closet.

Ashley actually looks pretty damn attractive now. Might have to stick it in her again.

On topic, why is it so surprising or even a spoiler that Jack is back? My impression was that everyone who survived the final mission of the last game would be in the third.

@11 - I don't know... I mean, it's EA, so yes, I wouldn't put that kind of thing past them. But then, supplies of ME2's CE were extremely limited. To the point that GAME - the sole distributor of it in the UK - actually couldn't fulfil all the preorders they took. Everyone who preordered it in roughly the last three weeks (if not longer) before release all got let down. Other than a very tiny number from people who cancelled their orders last minute, there were none for sale on release day. I sold mine for a £30 profit a week after release.

It could go either way. They could be telling the truth, because they did the same kind of limited run last time. Or they could've seen the popularity of it last time, and decided to cash in this time by making enough to fill all preorders and more besides.

Gotta say, I wish the comic was better. How cool would it be if it was actually an exclusive story? It's just Invasion #1 with a different cover, I read that weeks ago. By the time March comes, the other three issues will have been released, the entire series'll be done, so other than filling a space in the box it's pretty much pointless. And if it's anything like last time, it'll be shrunk down to the size of the DVD case.

@11 and @27

I'm inclined to believe that it is limited. I missed out on both Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age limited editions because I waited to long to pre-order. Bioware seems to honestly mean collector's edition in their games, not "special edition for however many million want it" like most games...

I hope all of the ME2 crew makes a return in ME3. I was stoked to see Ashley Williams (although brief), Tali, Garrus and Liara from ME in ME2. The lair of the shadow broker DLC was worth it just to have liara on my squad again.

I hated Jack. Dunno why, she was just the character I didn't like and never wanted to like.
I suppose this will be good news for those people who did like her though :)

When the Collector's Edition was announced for $80, I thought it wasn't worth it. Now that I've played ME1 nonstop for about a week, I can't wait to rip that CE open when it gets here!!

I am seriously hoping that the end of the trailer is a mistake... Has anyone else noticed that the date is 9-3-12?

I will be happy with anything Bioware does with Mass Effect. I'm a sucker for it.

@51 - you're a complete idiot, it's palpable that it is formatted as day-month-year for Europe, being 3 days after the American release. Yes, most games come out on Friday in Europe.

Also, I bet this is not "extremely limited" as you can still pre-order them since a long time ago.

They already said that they didn't spend the last game building up character to have them drop off the grid. The fact that Jack is in this game isn't really a spoiler.
I missed this when i saw the trailer first, though. The new look is interesting enough. I think i like.

I'm so bummed out because for my last Mass Effect 1 playthrough I was going for the Kaidan achievement so Ashley had to go even though she was one of my favorite characters. Luckily it seems I'll have Jack as company, at least for a little bit.

Hopefully this game will be not only a game that is good like mnay other games, but unlike many other games, actually is better than what we expect. ME2 was so amazing that having a good trilogy will a first for a long time.
