A representative from video game publisher Electronic Arts has revealed that the upcoming action and role-playing mix Mass Effect 3 from BioWare is set to get tie-ins that will be available on both handhelds and on mobile devices.

EA has mentioned the new games linked to the Mass Effect universe in a number of quarterly financial reports, but has not offered any details on them.

The EA representative has told Kotaku that the new Mass Effect applications will affect the new Galaxy at War multiplayer mode, which will see all players engaged with the game working together in order to defend the in-game universe from the Reaper invasion.

BioWare has stated that Mass Effect 3 will be the last game in the current arc of the series, the one starring Commander Shepard.

Mass Effect 3 will be launched on the PC, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 in the early days of March.
