New Mass Effect DLC Announced
Threepwood | 10:59 AM on 02.06.2008 17 comments


"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.

Mass Effect is exclusively available on Xbox 360 and is rated M for Mature by the ESRB."

I'm impressed also at the price...they could easily have offered this for 800 points (which would have been a ripoff, but that's how these things work)

Hopefully it won't be a palette-swapping side mission, but it seems to be more in-depth

Damnit. I was goint to waste the 600 or 800 or so points I had left on songs for Rock Band... but yeah this is pretty tempting.

Dammit I traded this in already. I might have to rent it again to get that achievement.

I don't know if this will end up being free...that's only usually for multiplayer map packs which eventually need to be brought into standard rotation

FINALLY! Batarians! 400 points isn't bad either considering map packs average about 800.

Price sounds good, but I don't think I'll play it much after I finish it.
