Though the Mass Effect full-length movie may been headed back to the drawing board with a new writer, upcoming prequel Mass Effect: Paragon Lost is due out in just two months. A new trailer (below) for the animated movie has been released, giving fans a nine-minute look into the new fiction.

No Caption Provided

Paragon Lost is a prequel to Mass Effect 3. It focuses on the pursuits of alliance marine James Vega, who is voiced by Freddie Prinze Jr. (Scooby Doo, She's All That). Vega is in charge of a Special Forces squad tasked with battling an alien threat known as The Collectors.

Paragon Lost is due on DVD and Blu-ray on December 28. It was developed from a collaboration between series creator BioWare, production company Funimation, and Japanese anime studio Production I.G.

Oh, God. I spent most of that clip trying to figure out what weapons they were using. I've turned into a Mass Effect geek!

im sure the people that dont like this are the same people that cry about anything about Mass Effect and EA.

plus why isn't Bioware working ont his with CGI, or even use the same people that made that ME 3 trailer that everything look so real work on the ME movie? why isn't anyone at BioWare using there heads!?

Because that would take a lot of money. EA doesn't like giving money. They like making it so no high end CGI for...a simple Blue Ray DVD movie.(Can't blame them there)

Yeah, this probably would've been better if it were CGI, not anime. Still, it's worth a rental.

It's not bad. I'm just wondering how I'm supposed to believe any human can survive the skull-crushing Vega got. :P

@Melchior111 Vega rocks, so no he`s not the least liked. Failed comment. the least liked character is the Prothean because of the DLC fiasco.

@K-A_L-A_D-U_R @LatinproX @Melchior111 Jacob. The few that did like him mostly ended up hating him in ME3 when he turned into a cheating baby-maker.

That's a pretty bad job on the animations considered it's Production I.G. Must be an extremely limited budget they received from EA.
