In an interview posted on the Bioware blog, Mass Effect Producer Jesse Huston has told us that Mass Effect’s new multiplayer component will not support either splitscreen or system link play, but will be a solely online experience. Huston has also revealed that while the full list of races for Multiplayer has not yet been determined, some that do not make the initial cut may be offered up later as DLC:
“We haven’t given the full list yet. But as an example, you can totally play as a Krogan, as a Drell, as an Asari. Beyond those, I can’t give away all of the details, but I can say there will be a lot of interesting races that you may not expect to be able to play as because they wouldn’t normally be looked upon as characters who are for the fight normally. That said we’ll be releasing more and more characters through DLC later.”
As a big fan of the series, I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of multiplayer experience the team at Bioware can offer up. For those interested in reading the full interview, you can do so here.
