Picking up where yesterday\u2019s info overload of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer details<\/a> left off, the media data-miners over at StickSkills<\/a> have leaked loads of additional stuff ahead of an upcoming Official Xbox Magazine feature.<\/p>\n

Somebody\u2019s probably going to be in a lot of trouble over this, but hey, it\u2019s none of us, so whatever.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, BioWare has also released an official BioWare Pulse video featurette confirming a lot of the multiplayer info that has been spreading around the Internet.<\/p>\n

Basically, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the co-op multiplayer turns out to be (another) Horde clone, putting up to four players up against \u201cincreasingly difficult waves of Cerberus foes\u201d, ranging from standard-issue grunts to \u201cassassin-like Phantoms and even the hulking metal titan-esque Atlas mechs\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Experience points are awarded for \u201cassists, kills, and other similar actions\u201d, and progression and success in this mode will have some effect on the single-player campaign, although just how that\u2019s going to work is not explained.<\/p>\n

Correspondingly, everything you do in the single-player campaign will apparently translate into additional resources in multiplayer, dubbed \u201cWar Assets\u201d, which will \u201callow you to purchase things such as allies, friendly fleets, or even a facility such as a radar station\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Four classes are confirmed in the feature \u2013 the Soldier, Infiltrator, Engineer, and Sentinel \u2013 although BioWare has indicated that all of the different classes will be available at launch.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also be able to choose from many of the different Mass Effect races, including humans, Salarian, Turian, Asari, Krogan and Drell.<\/p>\n

A couple of screenshots of the multiplayer mode have also emerged and the BioWare Pulse Mass Effect 3 multiplayer video featurette is below.<\/p>\n
