Bioware has just announced today that a new ending will be available to download for any current owners of Mass Effect 3.
Unless you have been living in a hole for the last few weeks, you have noticed that Mass Effect 3 fans have been making a bit of a fuss about the ending. Most of these complaints have been about how the player's choice should have affected the ending but didn't, as well as a large portion complaining about the lack of a difference between endings. On these forums alone, there are dozens of threads complaining about the ending, as well as a delightful thread concerning the shipment of 400 cupcakes to Bioware, as a sort of peaceful protest. Overwhelmingly, it seems fans are really angry about the ending.
Well it seems that these cries of anger have finally been answered.
Kotaku got a chance to sit down with franchise executive producer and director Casey Hudson, and was able to ask whether fans would be able to see a new ending
Hudson: Fans will be pleased to hear that we have developed three new possible endings which take into account all the actions Shepard takes. No, this DLC will not cost anything. Yes, you can go and download it right now. No, it will not be available for players that buy the game after this announcement.
So there you have it Mass Effect 3 fans, make sure you download this DLC pack as soon as you can. PC players will be required to enter their CD key, while Xbox and PS3 players can get it from the main screen. Hudson was not clear as to how future copies of the game will be prevented from getting a piece of this deal, but it seems likely that the DLC will simply stop being free after a short while.
A musical break from studying. Thanks. :) Don't mind the RickRoll either, cuz I kinda of like the song. :P Though you did not trick me into believing it. The spelling errors gave you away. Very nice try; good luck with your prank this year!
Eddie the head: It's April 1st you didn't think people would catch that?
I had 3 pages of comments last year when Justin Bieber got a gender change, so I have high hopes for this one :D
Too obvious. I was actually betting this was an April Fools joke just from the title. I think the only ones you're going to get are the ones who don't know it's April 1st.
