Mass Effect 3: Operation Olympus Coming this Weekend

BioWare has announced Operation Olympus, the newest Mass Effect 3 multiplayer event. Beginning Friday, August 10th and running until August 12th, Operation Olympus focuses on “increased Reaper activity reported around London” and involves large-scale strikes against the Reapers intended “to buy the Resistance time to investigate.” Mass Effect 3’s free Earth downloadable content is required to participate.

The Squad Goal of Olympus is full extraction from Firebase London using any kit on any difficulty. The Allied Goal is completing wave 10 on any map using any kit against any enemy for a combined community total of 200,000 Bronze missions, 175,000 Silver missions and 70,000 Gold missions. If the Squad Goal is met, all squad members will receive a Commendation pack, while success in the Allied Goal will get all players a Victory Pack.

Mass Effect 3 will receive its next single-player downloadable content later this summer with the release of Leviathan. The game is also set to be a launch title for Wii U.
