Mass Effect 3's multiplayer servers will go down for planned maintenance today, February 26, at approximately 4am PST, ahead of the release of the Reckoning DLC pack for the cooperative online experience.

Mass Effect 3 is set to receive its last add-on for the multiplayer mode later today, on February 26, across the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 platforms.

In order to make sure everything goes according to plan, developer BioWare has confirmed that it's taking down the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer servers for scheduled maintenance at 4am PST.

The offline period will last around one hour, according to the Mass Effect Twitter page, and everything should be back online at 5am PST.

The Reckoning multiplayer DLC will be released for free later today across the different Mass Effect 3 platforms.

A video, quite a few screenshots, and lots of details were already shared by the studio in the last week.
