14 DAY TRIAL // BioWare has confirmed that it's going to continue celebrating its N7 Day on November 7, 2013, as it has planned quite a few activities for fans of the Mass Effect series, as well as plenty of prizes for the most inventive ones.
Last year, after the conclusion of the trilogy with Mass Effect 3, BioWare decided to organize a special celebration of the saga on November 7, in reference to the N7 combat rating of protagonist Commander Shepard.
This year, the celebration will continue to be honored, as BioWare has revealed on its blog the big list of activities planned for N7 Day 2013, so check it out below.
N7 Day Pride: Mass Effect means different things to different people, but without question it ignites passion within our community and we love it! What does N7 pride mean to you? Do you have a favorite N7 hoodie or t-shirt? Do you have items in your collection signed by our team? Did you name your child Garrus and dress them in an N7 onesie? Did you take family photos dressed in N7 gear? Post your photos on Twitter, Vine, and Instagram using the hashtag #N7Day13.
N7 Day Fan Art Contest: Are you an artist? Submit your best creations to BioWare for a chance to have your work featured on an upcoming item at the BioWare Store. Starting N7 Day we will be selecting our favorite pieces to become part of the Mass Effect Collection. Stay tuned for more information on how you can participate.
Play Mass Effect 3 with BioWare: Fire up your Xbox 360, PS3, or PC and play some Mass Effect 3 multiplayer with us! Hit the lobbies and be on the lookout for our BioWare banners. Members of the team will be logging on throughout the day, eager to blast through waves of baddies with you.
Child’s Play Charity Auction: The team has rummaged through the BioWare archives and unearthed some early concept art that pre-dates the original Mass Effect. These one of a kind pieces will be signed and contributed to Child’s Play for a charity auction along with some gear from the BioWare Store. Stay tuned for info on how you can help a great cause and get your hands on a unique piece of Mass Effect history.
