EA and BioWare have listened to fan outrage over the mistakes in the latest tie-in novel for the Mass Effect universe – Mass Effect: Deception and will be making suitable changes in newer editions.
With just a month to go before the release of Mass Effect 3, another part of the franchise has been sending people running for their keyboards. Tie-in novel Mass Effect: Deception was reported earlier this week to be so filled with substantial errors in relation to the continuity of the Mass Effect universe that fans asked EA and BioWare to strike the novel from the continuity of the Mass Effect universe. EA and BioWare have listened to the outrage and on Friday Chris Priestly released a statement over on the BioWare forums:
“The teams at Del Rey and BioWare would like to extend our sincerest apologies to the Mass Effect fans for any errors and oversights made in the recent novel Mass Effect: Deception. We are currently working on a number of changes that will appear in future editions of the novel.
“We would like to thank all Mass Effect fans for their passion and dedication to this ever-growing world, and assure them that we are listening and taking this matter very seriously.”
There is no indication as to when the first new edition will be made available. The original was written by William C. Dietz who had not been been responsible for the previous novels, which had been written by Drew Karpyshyn.
