Well, no surprise here. After weeks and weeks of speculation, Bioware finally confirmed today that Mass Effect 3 will definitely have some multiplayer elements.
Following our earlier report yesterday, executive producer Casey Hudson has officially announced the details of the secret four-player co-op multiplayer missions on its forums. According to Hudson, the co-op missions will take place outside of the main campaign and not affected by the game saves from the two previous Mass Effect games. "Players can choose from a variety of classes and races, form an elite Special Forces squad, and combine their weapons, powers and abilities to devastating effect as they fight together to liberate key territories from enemy control," he revealed. "Success in multi-player will have a direct impact on the outcome of the single player campaign, giving players an alternative method of achieving ultimate victory against the greatest threat mankind – and the entire galaxy – has ever faced."
In addition to the multiplayer, Bioware will also be adding a new feature called "Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system." According to Hudson, the Galaxy at War system is "a new way for players to manage and experience the galactic war from multiple fronts, including a new 4-player co-op mode. The key to saving the galaxy is the “Galactic Readiness” level, measured by Commander Shepard’s ability to apply every possible asset – people, weapons, resources, armies, fleets – in the final battle against the Reapers. Players can impact their game’s Galactic Readiness level in multiple ways via the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system, including multiplayer. Other platforms and interfaces will be announced in the coming months. It is important to note that the system is entirely optional and just another way players can have control over your game experience – it is still possible to achieve the optimal, complete ending of the game in Mass Effect 3 through single-player alone."
Sounds interesting? What do you think folks? Mass Effect 3 is slated to arrive March 2012 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
