Once upon a time, BioWare was working on a standalone Mass Effect multiplayer game that never saw the light of day, but did end up forming the basis of Mass Effect 3?s multiplayer. Cancelled a decade ago, Mass Effect: Team Assault was intended to be a digital-only release, ?similar in scope to Battlefield 1943.? That?s according to Patrick Moran, a former BioWare developer who worked on Mass Effect 3?s multiplayer as Senior Gameplay Designer.
Mass Effect: Team Assault ?was the foundation of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, incubated at BioWare Montreal,? Moran told The Gamer. ?EA really wanted to see a multiplayer experience in the Mass Effect world. Once it had momentum as a standalone title, the design team in Edmonton advocated for and was able to pull multiplayer back to Edmonton, effectively cancelling Mass Effect: Team Assault.?
