EA and Bioware has announced that Mass Effect 3 will receive a free downloadable Extended Ending this summer.

States a press release announcing the DLC, the pack "will expand upon the events at the end of the critically acclaimed Action RPG. Through additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes, the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut will give fans seeking further clarity to the ending of Mass Effect 3 deeper insights into how their personal journey concludes."

The DLC will release across all formats.

"We are all incredibly proud of Mass Effect 3 and the work done by Casey Hudson and team," Bioware's Ray Muzyka said in the release. "Since launch, we have had time to listen to the feedback from our most passionate fans and we are responding. With the Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut we think we have struck a good balance in delivering the answers players are looking for while maintaining the team's artistic vision for the end of this story arc in the Mass Effect universe."

Casey Hudson, Executive Producer of the Mass Effect series added, "We have reprioritized our post-launch development efforts to provide the fans who want more closure with even more context and clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that will feel more personalized for each player."

There's been vigorous debate from fans since launch that the ending wasn't on par with expectation. Last month Muzyka publicly responded to fans stating it was "painful" to hear feedback from fans unhappy with the ending, but finished by saying "The team and I have been thinking hard about how to best address the comments on ME3's endings from players, while still maintaining the artistic integrity of the game."

It marks an unprecedented move by a publisher, as its likely the Extended Cut will involve a hefty rescheduling, as per Hudson's comments, of the studio's post-launch plans for the title.
