Mass Effect 3 Interview

AusGamers has cranked out a transcript of a video interview that they conducted with BioWare associate producer Robyn Théberge during a recent pre-release press event in Sydney, Australia. Topics include our romance options, the game’s iOS spinoffs, their DLC plans, and more:

AusGamers: So I want to get back to: what’s next? There’s this concept that this is the end of the trilogy, but every time I’ve spoken to everyone in the last year, they’re always like (it’s never the end). So I want to know…

I mean you can’t tell me obviously, because then I’d have some exclusive that no one else in the world will have, but is there some kind of plan to continue this Universe?

Robyn: Obviously we’ll have an extensive DLC plan for Mass Effect that we’ll be announcing…

AusGamers: That’s awesome, because the DLC for Mass Effect 2 was great — I just wanted to let you know that!

Robyn: [laughs] So of course we’ll have extensive DLC for Mass Effect 3, but we are wrapping up the story. Mass Effect one, two and three was planned as a trilogy; we’re finishing the story-arc. Whether there’ll be something else after that — I would stay tuned.

AusGamers: Do you know that you’re the first person that’s working on this game that has actually said (we’re wrapping it up after this)?

Robyn: Really? I would be surprised. I would be very surprised to hear that.
