Another important detail [Mass Effect 3](/games?search=Mass Effect 3) was accidentally revealed by Xbox 360 users. In a restricted area of the dashboard, the “[Mass Effect 3](/games?search=Mass Effect 3) Private Beta” was posted. Contrary to expectations, it turned out to be single-player rather than multiplayer, and players were greeted with a surprise right at the beginning[cut]:

Yes, [Mass Effect 3](/games?search=Mass Effect 3) will contain three different single-player campaign modes. Here’s how the game describes them:

  • Action Mode: For those who want to focus on action and battles while minimizing story needs. In Action Mode, the game will automatically select dialogue options, and the combat difficulty will be set to normal.

  • Story Mode: For those who want maximum immersion in the story with minimal combat effort. Story Mode will allow for manual selection of dialogue options and will set combat difficulty to the lowest level.

  • RPG Mode: For those who want to enjoy both battles and the story. RPG Mode will allow for manual selection of dialogue options and will set combat difficulty to normal.

Bioware commented on the situation:

*"One of those features that was added to the game early in development is multiple gameplay modes. In the beta, they are called “Action Mode,” “Story Mode,” and “RPG Mode.” We want to emphasize that these game features are still in early development and may change significantly by the release. The modes are designed to give players much greater customization options than ever before. For some, battles may be challenging, but they will want to enjoy an amazing story; some will want to focus on action and shootouts; while the most dedicated fans will undoubtedly want to explore all facets of [Mass Effect 3](/games?search=Mass Effect 3). And this time, the game will let you choose. We will share more details about this in the coming days!*"
