BioWare has announced the release of Extended Cut of Mass Effect 3, a DLC pack free for everyone who purchases the game before April 12 with a release planned for Summer 2012. This new content will provide “additional context and deeper insight to the conclusion of Commander Shepard’s journey.”
“We are all incredibly proud of Mass Effect 3 and the work done by [Mass Effect series executive producer] Casey Hudson and team. Since launch, we have had time to listen to the feedback from our most passionate fans and we are responding,” said BioWare founder Ray Muzyka. “With the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut we think we have struck a good balance in delivering the answers players are looking for while maintaining the team’s artistic vision for the end of this story arc in the Mass Effect universe.”
However, while this will add something to the endings that exist, BioWare flatly denied that this DLC will change the ending to the game. “BioWare strongly believes in the team’s artistic vision for the end of this arc of the Mass Effect franchise,” said the company in a Q&A. “The extended cut DLC will expand on the existing endings, but no further ending DLC is planned.”
