Mass Effect 3 executive producer Casey Hudson has said the developer intends to support the game with new for some time following its March release.
"We are going to be supporting Mass Effect 3 for quite some time, because I think people are going to have a lot of fun with multiplayer, and we'll be supporting that with new content as we go forward," Hudson said.
"We also have a really good DLC plan, like we had for Mass Effect 2, so there will be new adventures and new things to do. Then, beyond that, we'll just have to wait and see."
Hudson also gave us an update on the company's latest trans-media plans for the series.
"We've got an ongoing relationship with Dark Horse [for comics], and we've got some stuff coming out of that. We've got the feature-film in the works. We've also got an anime movie that's coming out - it's getting pretty close to being done, and it's looking fantastic.
"All these things tell different facets of the overall storyline, but it's still ultimately the full story of the trilogy. So when fans check out a novel, a comic-book or a movie, they're seeing parts of the same story that really flesh out the details we can't otherwise show you in the game."
Mass Effect 3 hits UK stores on March 9 for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. For those who can't wait that long to play it, a demo is available now.

I smell a season pass...
Hope we won't get Mass Effect:Elite though.
Can't decide to get this on first day or wait for the Super HD trilogy remake on the 720 instead

My head says wait for the Game of The Year version or whatever they may call it. My heart says I can't do that and to buy Mass Effect 3 on day one and buy the DLC if I feel the need to. I'll be following my heart even though it'll cost me more.

I think people are being a little harsh here, these are the same people who released Shadow Broker, that in my mind was one hell of a DLC.
As long as they dont release too much Multi player skin/maps/chars rubbish and stick to story DLC then im in.

Huge fan of Mass Effect but to my mind, as the final entry, they really should bundle the lot onto the disk. Give the series some actual closure and an huuuuuuuuuuuge amount of content. Show fans respect. OR p**s in their face EA style.

I wonder if this will be like the "Universe of DLC" for ME1 or the "Tons of meaningful content" of ME2 ?
Neither of which really panned out did it?
Don't get me wrong I love the games but the DLC has been pretty sub-par so far.
