Mass Effect Andromeda is little more than two months away—last night EA slapped a March 21 release date on the long-awaited BioWare RPG. Finally. And if that prospect’s got you in the mood to play (or replay) the original Mass Effect trilogy, EA’s willing to get you a third of the way there.

Starting today, EA’s new freebie “ On the House ” game is Mass Effect 2, generally regarded as the best of the series. Here’s the quick and dirty Origin description:

“Are you prepared to lose everything to save the galaxy? You’ll need to be, Commander Shepherd. It’s time to bring together your greatest allies and recruit the galaxy’s fighting elite to continue the resistance against the invading Reapers. So steel yourself, because this is an astronomical mission where sacrifices must be made. You’ll face tougher choices and new, deadlier enemies. Arm yourself and prepare for an unforgettable intergalactic adventure.”
