BioWare’s got some news for us: Mass Effect 3 has gone gold. In the gaming industry this means that the game is completed and ready to ship, not that they have sold 500,000 records. So while there won’t be a Commander Shepard solo record, his latest adventure is heading to the presses and will land on store shelves March 6th for the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3.

The announcement came from Executive Producer Casey Hudson, who made the announcement on Twitter. Aside from breaking the news, Hudson also promised some surprises in the coming weeks. What will those promises be? We’re not sure but if I had to guess, I would say cake. On a totally unrelated note, I’m hungry.
