Update: If you’re more interested in the take of a local publication, Official Xbox Magazine is also promoting an upcoming issue that features details about Mass Effect 3’s online multiplayer. So after numerous indications that it’s coming, it seems safe to classify this particular aspect of the game as “confirmed.”
Original Story: Even before Mass Effect 3 was announced last December, there were rumors that it would feature multiplayer, or that a separate Mass Effect game was being developed which included multiplayer support. Talk of multiplayer has only continued over the past year, though BioWare has refused to confirm its presence.
The latest such sign is a tease for an upcoming issue of Australian game magazine PC PowerPlay. Its cover (pictured above) states “multiplayer comes to Mass Effect 3,” and right below that it reads, “Fight alongside your friends as the galaxy goes to war!” The accompanying text on PCPP‘s website provides little in the way of additional details, only promising Mass Effect producer Casey Hudson talks about the decision to incorporate multiplayer.
