Free DLC to provide closure to the controversial ending.
Those angered by the endings of Mass Effect 3 may finally get the closure they desire. Bioware has announced that this summer, the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut DLC will be released to give fans “clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 and insight on how your personal journey concludes.”
Dr. Ray says the team is back at work to quell the disheartened fans.
Mass Effect 3 has been out long enough for the hardest of the hardcore to have finished it. Others are still getting their crew ready to face the Reapers, but even for those trying to avoid spoilers one thing has become very clear: people don’t like the ending of the game too much. It’s caused a huge backlash among fans and non-fans alike. You can listen to our own Jason Ross talk about it on the PB & Jason podcast, and the fervor for this game has site director Nick DiMola asking gamers what the big deal is. Well, it seems that when enough people cry out, their voices get heard. Today, Dr. Ray Muzyka, co-founder and GM of BioWare, made a statement on the BioWare blog addressing the concerns over Mass Effect 3’s ending.
Nick's looking for your answers.
The Shepard Trilogy of Mass Effect has finally come to an end, which has evoked some strong feelings from fans. There's outrage over the ending and not just the ending, but its impact on the series as a whole. I have no feelings on the topic as I have not even played a single title in the series, and truthfully, I have very little ambition to ever do so. Sure, I gave Mass Effect a shot and I actually own both the first and second title, but as someone who's not much a fan of sci-fi, the story and characters hold little intrigue for me. But this is not about me; this is about you, the fans of the series.
So, it has come to this.
Five years ago BioWare released Mass Effect to the world. The first game in an epic RPG trilogy with the ambitious goal of having your character’s actions and accompanying consequences carry over from game to game; creating an ever more complex and living world quite literally shaped by the player. As a result, Mass Effect 3 is forced to undergo scrutiny for not only how it handles as a standalone game, but as a conclusion to BioWare’s half-decade efforts as well.
