Unconfirmed: Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Mode to be Shown at GamesCom

It appears that the cover of Xbox World 360 latest issue revealed something that has been rumored for quite a while: BioWare's sci-fi threequel will feature a multiplayer mode. According to a tweet from Alexander Donaldson (co-founder and owner of the UFF Network) Mass Effect 3's much-rumored multiplayer mode will make its debut at GamesCom and will be playable at two UK Trade shows in September:
Now the cat is out: it's a GamesCom debut and will be playable at 2 UK trade shows in September.

So far there are no details on what the mode will feature, although you may remember that there have been rumors of it being a 4 players co-op "Horde-style" mode. It should be interesting to see how it works, either way.

Update: It appears that Mass Effect 3 multiplayer mode may not be so confirmed after all, as (according to the posters at NeoGAF) the quote from the magazine is as it follows:
"Well, if you believe the rumours - which we certainly do - ME3 will have MP. According to various sources, there will be a batch of 3 player co-op missions that run parallel to the main story, with each player assuming the role of a single squad mate. It seems likely that this will happen, and it'll form part of EA's Online Pass system. However devs have been known to ditch MP during development in the past, if it doesn't work..."

This still leaves Donaldson's quote, which, if true, would mean we won't have to wait much longer for a reveal.

Thanks, NeoGAF.
