Mass Effect 3 Story Files Leak

BioWare said it’s investigating a leak of the Mass Effect 3 story files after the beta unexpectedly went live over the weekend.

Russian fansite BioWare.ru reportedly extracted the files from the beta and have since published them online. BioWare says that the script files do not reflect what will be in the final game, however.

“We are still investigating, but it appears that some internal story files have been leaked,” said Mass Effect producer Jesse Houston. “Even though the information in those files is out of date and does not reflect the final story experience, we urge fans not to read them if they want to experience the purest form of the story in Mass Effect 3.”

Mass Effect 3 is set to launch March 6, 2012.

  • Then this is the last time I'm reading anything about ME3 prior to the release. Shame.
  • uh ooooh someones gonna get in trouble
  • I'M NOT LISTENING LALALALALA

  • Some people don't play games for fun apparently.
  • If I remember reading correctly, they use a lot of garbage text and generic text as place holders for the actual story. I am sure some of the story is in there, but as far as the whole complete story goes, I doubt it...
  • Leaking a few incomplete files of parts of Mass Effect 3's story is the equivalent of releasing a page out of a dictionary.
  • Well, that blows.

  • I don't want to know.... I want to play it through!!!

  • Why would you want to ruin any part of the story of a very story-centric game not only for yourself but for a bunch of other Bioware fans as well? Some people are just plain stupid.
  • Why is there always people like this? So numb.

  • It just goes to show that you can NEVER trust the Russians.
  • Man, Bioware must be reeling.  First the beta goes live, now this.  Anything else going to get messed up in the next few months?

  • This is bad, I saw the file and I wouldn't doubt if 75% of what's in there is accurate and that's a low estimate that I'm using. Bioware is definitely setting themselves up for failure if they didn't change from what I saw but with it being only 4 months and VA Costs they aren't going to change much. Definitely won't be buying this at release and I will need to read every review possible, I'm not making the same mistake that I made with DA2, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

  • Ouch, that doesn't sound good. See? Mass Effect 3 is already being screwed over by multiplayer! trollface.jpg

  • I am tempted to read these files, but I want to create my own story without prior knowledge of the consequences.
  • I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite leak on the Citadel.
  • Too much negative crap going on in gaming lately. Saddest part is...it's mainly due to some d*bag fans(or non-fans)of gaming. This was supposed to be a great year for gamers. Why spoil it for everybody?
  • Im going right now to read them. Thanks GI :3

  • Wow! Someone is trygint o ruin this for everyone else. Not cool!
