In an exciting reveal, Bioware has officially confirmed that Mass Effect 3 (coming out early 2012) WILL have Multiplayer. Details haven't been released yet, so there's not telling if it will be couch co-op friendly or not...which would be sweet.
What do you think? Should the game even have multiplayer to begin with, or should Bioware be focusing their efforts on the Mass Effect film coming out in the near future instead of making their newest game more marketable?
Mass Effect 3 will be coming out early 2012.
UPDATE: THIS JUST IN FROM GAMERANT
Official word from Bioware:
"As a bonus to the campaign, BioWare is introducing the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system, a new way for players to manage and experience the galactic war from multiple fronts, including a new 4-player co-op mode. The key to saving the galaxy is the “Galactic Readiness” level, measured by Commander Shepard’s ability to apply every possible asset – people, weapons, resources, armies, fleets – in the final battle against the Reapers. Players can impact their game’s Galactic Readiness level in multiple ways via the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system, including multiplayer. Other platforms and interfaces will be announced in the coming months. It is important to note that the system is entirely optional and just another way players can have control over your game experience – it is still possible to achieve the optimal, complete ending of the game in Mass Effect 3 through single-player alone."
