Mass Effect 3 challenges hit PlayStation 3

PlayStation 3 Mass Effect 3 users will finally get to try out the role-playing game's weekend Multiplayer Challenges beginning tonight, BioWare announced today on its official website.

This weekend's "Operation Exorcist" event will be the first open to PS3 users, but it won't be the last. All future N7 Weekend Challenges will come to Sony's home console, BioWare said.

Earlier this month, BioWare indicated that Sony had not yet approved the promotion to run on the PS3. Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Challenges are promotional weekend events that have been running since launch for the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game.

"Operation Exorcist" challenges players to survive until extraction on any map on Gold difficulty, and separately to kill 1,000,000 Cerberus Phantoms between this evening at 6 p.m. PDT and April 30 at 5 p.m. PDT. If successful in each endeavor, all players will score a Victory Pack and Commendation Pack, respectively.
