BioWare Blames Sony For Blocking Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Promotion
Update: Sony said it's looking to remedy the situation. "We are currently working together with EA and BioWare on an implementation to bring Mass Effect 3 multiplayer weekends to PS3," a representative said in a statement sent to Game Informer.
--------------------------------------
BioWare's Operation Resurgence weekend challenge is not currently available to PlayStation 3 users.
The promotion, which begins this Friday, is only available on Xbox 360 and PC. Users who downloaded the free multiplayer DLC Resurgence Pack get a 10% experience bonus when playing on the new maps: Firebase: Condor and Firebase: Hydra. BioWare says Sony has not approved the promotion
This Operation is currently available to Xbox 360 and PC users only, and will run from Friday, April 13th at 5PM PST to Monday, April 16th 5AM PST. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to offer our Multiplayer Challenge weekends on PlayStation 3.
Sony has not yet approved the promotion. We continue to work with them to find a compromise, but until then, Sony will not allow us to run the same Multiplayer Challenges on the PlayStation 3 that we run on Xbox 360 and PC.
Game Informer has contacted Sony for an update. We'll update this post if we hear back.
