Update: EA has now provided us with the first screenshots from the game, seen below:

Original story follows:

---

The first details on Mass Effect's iOS expansion have been revealed. Mass Effect 3 Infiltrator is described as a companion app to Mass Effect 3 on consoles. Gamers that play the game will increase their "galactic readiness" in the console and PC release, thus increasing their odds of receiving the game's best ending.

From an EA PR pamphlet:

"Take the all-out galactic war in Mass Effect 3 on-the-go with Infiltrator, a fully-featured iOS third-person shooter showcasing stunning graphics and authentic weapons and powers from the Mass Effect series."

"Inspired by the deep and immersive Mass Effect 3 universe, in Infiltrator players will help to free prisoners from a hostile Cerberus base and will receive rewards for collecting evidence of Cerberus' crimes along the way. Every completed rescue and intelligence discovery in Infiltrator will increase a player's Galactic Readiness rating directly through the Galaxy at War system in Mass Effect 3."

No word on how gamers' Infiltrator progress will be shared with Mass Effect 3, although EA Origin integration seems like a safe bet. IGN will have more on Mass Effect Infiltrator soon.
