Prior to the announcement of Mass Effect 3, BioWare’s next title was rumored to be a multiplayer focused shooter, and the addition of a multiplayer mode has been a persistent rumor since then. It seems as though the pervasive rumors are just that: rumors.
Now that Mass Effect 3 has been officially announced, I return to the age-old response to this topic: Mass Effect 3 is a single-player game, posted BioWare moderator Pacifien. Thank you.
Note that this post is not a denial that multiplayer will come to some future Mass Effect title, but it does seem to suggest it will not be present for the third Mass Effect game.
