Michael Gamble, producer at BioWare sat down with Gamingtruth and gave an interview detailing the upcoming Leviathan DLC pack for Mass Effect 3. He discused how Leviathan ties into the overall Mass Effect 3 campaign, and whether it results in any changes to the ending.
"Mass Effect 3: Leviathan is our first big single-player DLC for Mass Effect 3," Gamble said. "It involves Commander Shepard and his crew basically chasing a rumor throughout the galaxy-this mysterious creature called Leviathan. The rumor is that Leviathan can actually take down a Reaper by himself and because of that, Commander Shepard gets swept up in this whirlwind, and he goes from planet to planet trying to seek out Leviathan."
Mass Effect 3's cinematic ending was poorly received by fans and became a source of heated debate and controversy. Many fans of the trilogy took to voicing their displeasure with the endings on BioWare's forums and social networking pages. Bioware would eventually release slightly amended ending that were generally better received. But one of the biggest questions is how the new content changes Mass Effect 3's ending. Gamble says that the new content will not change the ending, but provide more context.
"I wouldn't say that Leviathan changes the ending of Mass Effect 3 at all," Gamble said. "But I would say that the information provided in Leviathan, the context you get in Leviathan, will give players a greater understanding of the ending of Mass Effect 3 and there's also a couple of Easter eggs if you have the Extended Cut-which kind of works with Leviathan as well."
A release date for Leviathan has yet to be announced. You can read the rest of the interview here at Gamingtruth.
