The box will features six 32mm miniatures of Liara, Tali, Wrex, Garrus, and both male and female Shepard.
Here’s the official story blurb:
The year is 2186. On the remote world Hagalaz, a research cruiser from the terrorist organization Cerberus has crashed directly in the path of a deadly storm. With little time before the storm hits, Shepard must lead their squad through the cruiser to uncover its sinister secrets and keep them out of the hands of the enemy. However, the ship holds more dangers than just its former crew…
The subtitle “Priority Hagalaz” may denote future games or story expansions using the same core gameplay.
