The Mass Effect franchise has always given the player choices, whether that be acting on behalf of the good of mankind, or going rouge, Commander Shepard’s decision held weight. Â With the franchise winding down, some have begun to question just how Mass Effect 3 will end. Â In a recent interview at Gamescom, we found that there is at least one possible scenario that could unfold. Â When Bioware’s community manager, Mike Gamble, was asked if Shepard could fail to stop the Reaper attacks, he replied Yes.
This means that the ultimate end-game could be the Reapers winning, and three games full of fighting the good fight put to bed. Â There’s clearly room for failure for the Commander in Mass Effect 3.
Mass Effect 3 will release in March 2012 for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
