An official press release went out today announcing how we are re-prioritizing the Mass Effect 3 post release content schedule to provide a more fleshed out experience for our fans. For many of you the “Extended Cut” will help answer some questions and give closure to this chapter of the Mass Effect story. Oh and it’s at no cost to you – the fan.

Here is a mini FAQ to help you understand what the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut is and isn’t:

What can fans expect from the Extended Cut DLC?
  • For fans who want more closure in Mass Effect 3, the DLC will offer extended scenes that provide additional context and deeper insight to the conclusion of Commander Shepard’s journey.
Are there going to be more/different endings or ending DLCs in the future?
  • No. BioWare strongly believes in the team’s artistic vision for the end of this arc of the Mass Effect franchise. The extended cut DLC will expand on the existing endings, but no further ending DLC is planned.
What is BioWare adding to the ending with the Extended Cut DLC?
  • BioWare will expanding on the ending to Mass Effect 3 by creating additional cinematics and epilogue scenes to the existing ending sequences. The goal of these new scenes is to provide additional clarity and closure to Mass Effect 3.
When will the Extended Cut DLC be available?
  • Currently the Extended Cut DLC is planned for this summer, no specific date has been announced at this point.
Why are you releasing the Extended Cut DLC?
  • Though we remain committed and are proud of the artistic choices we made in the main game, we are aware that there are some fans who would like more closure to Mass Effect 3. The goal of the DLC is not to provide a new ending to the game, rather to offer fans additional context and answers to the end of Commander Shepard’s story.
So there you have it. Are we proud of the game we made and the team that made it? Hell yes. Are we going to change the ending of the game? No. Do we appreciate the passion and listen to the feedback delivered to us by our fans? Very much so and we are responding. Summer is coming…

They're "listening", but their customers' words fall on deaf ears.

So it's not playable?  And after two years, people will have to buy it?  Don't they realize that after all that time, they can just go to youtube to see the epilogue scenes?

I dunno, you might be better off just going here.

So, my Shep is still a war criminal.  Great.   Can't wait to see how a cut scene will make that better.

It is interesting to watch a company delude itself by believeing their own PR.

That actually sounds pretty cool. The worst thing I could say about the endings is that they're abrupt and just kinda rush through the final sequence. Additional scenes and epilogues are exactly what it needs.

The abuse of the word "artistic" is really starting to get annoying.

 Guess I'll just get my closure here: shannon.users.sonic.net/masseffect/  

At least the above offers decent closure that I can deal with.  I don't have much faith in Bioware putting out a better epilogue than the above.

I guess I'm happy with this. I'm done with Bioware as a developer, their smug and constant use of the word 'artistic' when they mean 'bad' has changed me from super fan last month to not liking them at all. Still, they tried to do a bit of what we wanted and that deserves some credit.

Good luck Bioware, I am now off to help kickstart some games with actual artistic integrity and vision.
