Mass Effect 3, the third and final entry in BioWare's beloved trilogy, will drop later this year -- but gamers will be getting one last Commander Shepard adventure before then. Today, Electronic Arts announced what it calls the "final" Mass Effect 2 mission. Titled Mass Effect: Arrival, the downloadable content will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on March 29, 2011 and will feature three new achievements/trophies for the consoles. From the press release:
In Mass Effect: Arrival, Commander Shepard is sent to the edge of the galaxy to rescue an undercover operative who may have evidence of an imminent Reaper invasion that has been looming since the very beginning of the series. Returning and playing a prominent role in Mass Effect: Arrival is fan favorite Admiral Hackett, who is voiced by legendary science-fiction actor Lance Henriksen (Alien, Terminator). "All year, we have been extremely honored and humbled by the reception we have received for Mass Effect 2 from players around the world, including our post release DLC', said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer, Mass Effect series. "Mass Effect: Arrival is an exciting extension to Mass Effect 2 and will show players just how close the Reapers are to returning and completing their deadly harvest."While you're waiting, why not take another look at Mass Effect 3?
Mass Effect: Arrival will be available for 560 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360, $6.99 on PlayStation Network, and also available for PC for 560 BioWare Points at the developer's site.
