Mass Effect DLC a month away

Posted on 6 February 2008 by tanith6227

From Bioware’s Mass Effect Forums:

“To date, over 1.6 million gamers have explored the engaging sci-fi universe of Mass Effect. Beginning on March 10, fans everywhere will be able to expand the “Mass Effect” experience with the release of the first ever downloadable content for the award-winning saga.

The Bring Down the Sky downloadable content pack will be released to Xbox LIVE Marketplace on Monday, March 10 at 2 a.m. PST, and will be available for 400 MS points. This is the first in a series of planned downloadable content that further expands the Mass Effect universe and continues the adventures of Commander Shepard and the Normandy crew.

Bring Down the Sky includes a new uncharted world that introduces the notorious and feared alien race of the Batarians. A Batarian extremist group has hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard system, setting it on a collision course with the nearby colony world of Terra Nova. Only Commander Shepard can save the millions of innocent civilians before the asteroid completes its deadly descent.

Bring Down the Sky contains approximately 90 minutes of heart-pounding action and a new Achievement worth 50 Gamerscore points.”

    I won’t lie, I’m really excited for this new content. I was hoping we’d get more than an hour-and-a-half of stuff to do, but I’m pleased that BioWare has decided to release what sounds like a strong sidequest mission. It doesn’t advance the main plot, but that’s what the full the sequels are for.

    Having read the prequel novel, I was disappointed that there were no Batarians in ME - they play a very important role in the book. I’m anxious to see them up close - the screenshot makes them look really neat!

    I guess this means I’ll have to get onto LIVE! and buy some Microsoft funbux.

    um… so, assuming I don’t want to pay for this, can I come over and use one of your Shepards?

    Sure thing.

    I’ll even create a new one for you to use: Fagmo Shepard!

    Alternately, we can both lean on Dakalos to let us use his machine.
