Mass Effect 3 has already gotten a pretty large round of downloadable content. We know the studio is all hands on deck for whatever is coming next, and the studio has dropped a few clues in the form of screenshots. Both executive producer Casey Hudson and producer Mike Gamble tweeted new screenshots today. Hudson's screen was of a brightly lit casino setting, which he said "looks like a nice place for some R&R." Gamble showed off an armored Krogan swinging a hefty-looking melee weapon. Gamble also later called them "teasers," just in case there was any remaining doubt that these screens were a look at the next bit of DLC. These screens make us think the next DLC will continue to expand the campaign, rather than offer any sort of "epilogue." So after saving Omega and meeting Leviathan, maybe Shepard needs a break at one of the galaxy's lovely gambling establishments. That Krogan would make one mean bouncer when Shepard loses one too many hands. We'll have to wait for BioWare to share some more details to know the full extent of the downloadable content, so this look will have to tide fans over for now.

Krogan Smash!

  Who are they really making this game for? I don't see a lot of people who have already finished the game wanting to go back for something like this.

    I'll probably wait until they're all out and pop the game back in and play through them like I did for ME2.
    
    The main arc isn't what I liked about ME, it was the universe. These DLCs are just more universe.

      I would agree with that and I'll be doing the same thing, if only because I was an early adopter and finished the game when it game out and got a very unsatisfying barebones ending. But I don't see the majority of people doing the same. I'd be interested to see the sales numbers on the DLCs.

    My guess - the silent majority! The data must say that there are lots of people who want it otherwise they wouldn't be making it...

    I haven't finished the OC yet. Don't really have the motivation to do so either. I will eventually, out of spite, since I paid for it. I doubt I will buy any DLC for this game, unless its like a super pack of everything for $2. I'm weak for those, I have so many games in steam I bout for under $5 I have never even loaded.

    I plan to dust the franchise off several months down the road and play through it again - particularly so once they're finished releasing DLC content. For most of the singleplayer games I enjoy, I don't just play through them once and throw them away; I'll always engage in bi-annual playthroughs. Stuff like this coming out is a bit nicer, because it means the next time I play through I'll have some new content to enjoy.

  Their DLCs are usually up to a high standard. I will most probably have a purchase!

  I see Mass Effect now has gravity hammers. The covenant is not going to be happy.
