14 DAY TRIAL // After revealing the special Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut DLC for the actual game, which should clarify the ending for players who want more closure, developer BioWare has revealed a new batch of details about the add-on.
Mass Effect 3 was a great game with an impressive story but, at least according to quite a lot of players, its ending disappointed because it basically forced them to choose between three fatalistic conclusions.
After promising that more clarity would be delivered through an expansion, BioWare finally revealed yesterday that the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut DLC would be released in summer.
We’ve already heard some details about the add-on and now a comprehensive FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) feature was posted on the BioWare blog.
Below you can find quite a few new pieces of information about the add-on and what exactly it will bring to the standard Mass Effect 3 experience.
