New Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Details
BioWare have released a list of details for their upcoming title's Mass Effect 3's multiplayer.
It was revealed that the game's co-op mode, as of right now, does not support local multiplayer. Here's the full list of details:
- No Kinect support
- There will be character DLC for co-op, as well as races shipping day-one that "you may not expect"
- Will have separate trophies and achievements
- Features characters not involved in the main campaign, but co-op has its own story: “At a high level, Shepard is marshaling the troops on behalf of the Earth Alliance so you are technically fighting for the Earth Alliance. From a story perspective, a lot of these groups have come together as a loose fighting force to stop the reapers therefore they don’t fly the same type of banners that would have existed in pre- reaper invasion days.”
- Sunset plan in place for when the servers eventually go offline: “We won’t be taking the servers down until we realize that there aren’t enough players playing to warrant keeping them up and when we do take them down, we will make sure there are options so the players who are playing don’t feel abandoned… I wouldn’t be too worried about us taking down the servers anytime soon.”

Mass Effect 3 is out in March 2012 for the PS3, 360, and PC.
