Mass Effect: Retribution Announced

BioWare revealed today that another Mass Effect novel is on the way. It's called Mass Effect: Retribution and it sounds like a prequel to Mass Effect 2.

The Illusive Man, head of the militant pro-human organization Cerberus, plays a big role in Retribution. He's intent on learning more about the Reapers, the murderous race encounted by Commander Shepard in Mass Effect. To gain an understanding of this new enemy, he decides to inject a test subject with their technology.

Retribution was penned by Drew Karpyshyn, who served as lead writer on the first Mass Effect. This is the third ME novel he's penned, the first two being Mass Effect: Revelation and Mass Effect: Ascension.
