Mass Effect 2: Arrival DLC due this month
The final piece of Mass Effect 2 DLC is due later this month, paving the way for the Reaper invasion of Earth in Mass Effect 3.
The final piece of Mass Effect 2 downloadable content will pave the way for the Reaper invasion of Earth in Mass Effect 3 when it launches later this month, publisher EA announced today.
The 'Arrival' DLC will see Shepard and chums "sent to the edge of the galaxy to rescue an undercover operative who may have evidence of an imminent Reaper invasion." The Lance Henriksen-voiced Admiral Hackett of the Alliance Navy is said to play "a prominent role" in Arrival. Hopefully we'll finally get to put a weathered face to the gravely voice that's been doling out missions over the Normandy's comms channel.
Developer BioWare has long promised that DLC would bridge the gap between Mass Effect 2 and the sci-fi RPG series' conclusion in 3.
Arrival is due to launch for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 29, priced at $7 (560 Microsoft Points; 560 BioWare Points). Mass Effect 3 is scheduled for release in the 2011 holiday season, it was revealed in the announcement trailer debuted at the Spike VGA ceremony last year.

I am -so- excited for this.

Oh HELL yes.

Can't wait.

Having played none of the dlc addons and one playthrough at launch, I'm ready for a game of the year bundle of Mass Effect 2. Or I'd settle for the ability to avoid bioware points and buy the addons directly through Steam as I did the game, we all know EA is never going to let that happen though.

I'm still on ME1. :/
-
Cannot wait!
-
Awesome! And I hear Admiral Hackett is back for this one.

Nope: http://social.bioware.com/page/me2-dlc
Only Kasumi, Overlord, Shadow Broker and this upcoming Arrival actually add missions, the others are just textures and equipment. I've yet to play it, but I've heard really good things about the Shadow Broker mission. -
Shadow Broker is a mandatory purchase! so good

Totally agree. I want to have the Mass Effect series in my Steam account but I am not buying, no matter how cheap it gets, if they don't put the DLC on Steam. I am not bothering to create a bioware.com account. I already have an EA account and I hate using that. No more sign in. Just put the content on Steam and be done with it.

i am diamond-cutter hard for this

Generic question about ME2 DLC: can you play them after you beat the game?
-
as long as you beat the game with an ending that wasn't Shepherd dieing
-
Excellent. I'll consider picking up the DLC sometime.
Unfortunately I bought a second-hand copy so my Cerebus Network code doesn't work. I'd really dig it if EA/Bioware just put out all the DLC on a disc or sold a pass-code for the 'lot.

-
Damn, what are the odds of ever seeing an ME2 Complete Edition?
-
Probably not until ME3 is released. Marketing would make more sense then.
-
-
CAN"T WAIT. WANT NOW!
-
-
Supposed to be the final DLC to bridge ME2 into ME3.
(Why can't I reply to this thread with Winychatty...)

-
I read Alice only for the descriptors. Brilliant!
-
I'm really, really hope this DLC is as satisfying as the shadow broker one. I personally would love it if they could make this DLC 4-5 Hours long, I would love it.
-
-
Possibly, but more likely it is the Scientist that you are sent to rescue. There are more details on their forums, but if you're looking to avoid spoilers (very mild spoilers mind you), then I'll leave it at that.

My only worry: Another Witch Hunt.
