BioWare announces Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut

By Wesley Yin-Poole Published5 April, 2012

Free DLC Pack addresses controversial ending.

BioWare has announced the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut, a free download for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 that addresses the controversial ending of the game.

It provides "additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes" to the ending, and launches this summer.

The Extended Cut is designed to give players "seeking further clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 deeper insights into how their personal journey concludes", BioWare said.

BioWare boss Ray Muzyka commented: "We are all incredibly proud of Mass Effect 3 and the work done by Casey Hudson and team.

"Since launch, we have had time to listen to the feedback from our most passionate fans and we are responding. With the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut we think we have struck a good balance in delivering the answers players are looking for while maintaining the team's artistic vision for the end of this story arc in the Mass Effect universe."

Executive producer Casey Hudson added: "We have reprioritized our post-launch development efforts to provide the fans who want more closure with even more context and clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that will feel more personalized for each player."

Seems like a good idea to give people closure, plus it's free.

They should've charged money for it.

Imagine the reaction to something like that.

Very interested to see how this works out. If Bioware does this right, Mass Effect 3 could go from having one of the worst endings ever to... Probably just a mediocre one :P

At least it's free!

I am very surprised it is free. I would have expected at least a $5 price tag.

Hmmm. I'm at the end mission now. Guess I'll just go for it. Can always boot up the save and replay it with the new endings later.

All because of a bunch of loud, annoying biatches. At leat it's free, but my crystal ball tells me people will still complain about the DLC.

so does this mean the indoctrination theory was a pile of horses**** and from what I am hearing it seems to just be the same ending but with a little more exposition as opposed to a full on redo.

Imagine if they keep the endings exactly the way they are...with just more cutscenes.

Imagine how many hardcore BioWare fans will continue to rage over them.

Found a user made epilogue (that takes account your decisions as you input them), basically doing the same thing as this DLC. Best fan ending ever, in my opinion. Fits right in with the current ending too and the lore.

Oh.. well.. the whole last chapter sucked and an extended ending won't alter that. Giving more closure is only one part of the sh!t. I suppose it's better than nothing..

Yes, Bioware no longer has any integrity anymore. I've always thought that they got more love than they deserved, and all of this is proof I was right. What a joke these idiots are.

I think it will only piss us of more. They should just start again from the bit where you're running up to the Conduit.

The "artistic integrity" they are trying to save is of just two individuals. The Director and the Lead writer, (who seemed arrogant and wanted to make a "talked about" ending.) the rest of the staff apparently had no say in the final sequences. I hope this is a slap in the face for them.

I don't think they wanted any backlash from charging for non-gameplay epilogue scenes... that wouldn't hold over well, I think. Afterall, they never charged for that "comic" they released.

I'm kinda surprised they aren't charging for it. It's nice that it's free, but I highly doubt it will fix that ending. They would have to pretty much throw out the existing ending and it doesn't sound like they are doing that. At least they are trying to fix the plot holes.

I think it's free when you buy it on PS3. Or it's on the disc. Not a 100% sure. But I own the comic on 360.

There's nothing even remotely "artistic" about the ending. It's poorly written and unsatisfying. If I **** on a canvas is that considered art?.
