Oh, baby! You know E3 time is getting close because we just keep on getting the juicy gaming secrets that no one’s suppose to know. As you can imagine, it gets tougher and tougher for household name franchises to reach the big show without a few of their details being leaked preemptively. The latest victim of this: Bioware’s highly anticipated next installment to the Mass Effect series. And you know what, we aren’t complaining one bit about hearing these new details.

Today on Nerdist News we harbor details that range from the locale of the upcoming game to the new races that you will be taking to the stars as, to even some delightful multiplayer details. If you’ve been suffering withdrawals from living your double like as Commander Shepard, then today’s episode may help you kick that craving for a bit.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper Mass Effect story without Jessica making a reference to everyone’s favorite Mass Effect character, Diana Allers, because she’s totally the bestest character to ever set foot in the Mass Effect universe. Jessica Chobot is totally not holding a knife to my neck as I write this. She’s totally not, I promise. Hehe.

PLUS, don’t miss a special appearance by Modern Family‘s Sarah Hyland! She’s sharing the deets about her new movie See You In Valhalla, where she plays a young girl who reunites with her estranged family and attends a Viking-style funeral. You know, where they shoot a flaming arrow into a boat as a way of letting go. Uh oh… put the bow down, Chobot. PUT IT DOWN!

Anywho, don’t let your Normandy crew down and tell us what you think of these leaked Mass Effect details down in the comments below.
