Bioware has confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will have Multiplayer. It is going to be co-op based, it drops you in the game with three other players. The confirmation comes from BioWare's Casey Hudson via
Twitter.
"Yes, co-op MP missions for #ME3: they're real, and they're spectacular. Rest assured it's nothing of what you've feared. More soon..."
Mass Effect series have always been a single player experience with a compelling storyline creating a cinematic experience that engages the player in the game.
"Join your friends in the all-out galactic war to take Earth back. The universe of Mass Effect expands with the addition of new co-op multiplayer missions, playable over Xbox Live, PSN and PC internet. 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. 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." -

Mass Effect series executive producer Casey Hudson said:
"Players can still get the best ending by playing through the game in a single-player campaign, but now they have an alternative way to build up their war assets. This is really the best place to start playing the Mass Effect series, this is the beginning, middle and end of the whole galactic war,” he said. “You’ll be able to take control of characters you have never been able to play before — you’ll have access to all the different classes and many of the races.”
Hudson also stated that it made the most sense to add multiplayer to this title, which tells the story of an all-out galactic war at a huge scale.
Release Date: March 6, 2012
