Mass Effect 3's Extended Cut DLC launches for PC and Xbox 360 on 26th June and on 4th July for PlayStation 3, publisher EA has announced.

The free add-on will "expand upon the events at the end of" BioWare's RPG sequel, "through additional cinematic sequences and epilogue scenes."

"To experience the Extended Cut, load a save game from before the attack on the Cerberus Base and play through to the end of the game," explained a brief FAQ on the game's official site.

"The Extended Cut endings will differ depending on choices made throughout the Mass Effect series, so multiple playthroughs with a variety of different decisions will be required to experience the variety of possibilities offered by the new content."

For more on the expansion, have a listen to the developer talk-through below.
