Today EA announced a crossover deal for playing the demos of Mass Effect 3 and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. The Kingdoms of Amalur demo will be released on January 17 and people who download it will have access to content for both Mass Effect 3 and Amalur. The items available to Mass Effect 3 via Amalur are "The Reckoner Knight Armor and the Chakram Launcher". EA states the Knight Armor:
"will maximize damage done in close-quarters combat while a beefed€“up power cell feeds energy into weapon systems to increase projectile velocity," and that the launcher "uses a fabricator to manufacture lightweight, explosive ammunition discs."
As for playing the Mass Effect 3 demo, you will unlock N7 armor and omni-blades in Kingdoms of Amalur. The armor is "inspired by Commander Shepard's iconic N7 battle armor including Helm, Cuirass, Gauntlets, Chausses and Greaves." The omni-blade will be daggers meant for close quarters combat. The release date for the Mass Effect 3 demo has not been released as of yet. What do you think, would you use the armors in the games or do you not like the look of them? Release Dates: Mass Effect 3 US: March 6th, EU March 9th Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning US: February 7th, EU February 10th
