If you’re going to add multiplayer, make it special. I’m really hoping that if it is included, it’s not just a tacked on feature like it was in Dead Space 2. To have multiplayer just to have it, is the wrong way of thinking. I hear things like having a bullet point on the box and the crazy notion that all games need multiplayer now to have staying power, but I have to disagree. Personally speaking, I don’t really want or need multiplayer in Mass Effect.

Mass Effect 2 did come with a one time use “Cerberus Network” code that had to be entered to unlock stuff in a similar fashion. Before we get all crazy, remember that EA likes to package their games with “Online Passes” to ward off used game sales, so this very well could be that, just renamed. An eagle-eyed person noticed that among the many items included, an “Online Multiplayer Pass” was included. The second rumor comes from an advertisement out of South Africa for the Collector’s Edition version of the game. The first rumor this time comes to us from Xbox World magazine from the UK which promised readers to unveil a “killer new feature” for the franchise in an upcoming feature. So lets give the tires another good kick once more, shall we?

One thing is for sure though, we’ll be getting definitive answers shortly. Lets be honest here, this rumor has been kicked around, left for dead, and then kicked around some more.
