We told ya so! New Mass Effect 2 DLC on the way!

The final Mass Effect 2 DLC's going to drop on the 30th of March. The Reapers are coming back, and only you can stop them...

We called it last week - and outed John as a giant closet Abba fan - that new Mass Effect 2 DLC was coming this month, and lo and behold, we were right. Arrival will be out for all platforms on the 30th of this month, for 560 MS Points on Xbox, $11.45 on the PlayStation Network, or 560 Bioware Points on PC.

Here's the goss from today's announcement:

 

At the furthest edge of the galaxy, the Reapers are preparing to make their return. Will Commander Shepard have what it takes to stand in their way? BioWare has announced Mass Effect: Arrival, the thrilling final mission for Mass Effect 2. Available for download on March 30, 2011, Mass Effect: Arrival will also include three new achievements for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and PC and three new trophies on PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.  The PDLC pack will be available for 560 MS Points on Xbox 360, $11.45 on PlayStation Network and also available for PC for 560 BioWare Points at http://social.bioware.com/page/me2-dlc.

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 favourite Admiral Hackett, who is voiced by legendary science-fiction actor Lance Henriksen (Alien, Terminator).

Hope they release a Game of the Year or Ultimate version of Mass Effect 2 (similar to what the PS3 got) with all the DLC. I'm planning on replaying the game, but haven't touched it since I finished it at launch, so have missed all the DLC since then.

the plot seems a bit crazy, why would you make an admiral of a fleet an undercover operative that somehow needs rescuing? couldn't his fleet go rescue him or something?

Hackett isn't the operative. He is just someone you interact with during the mission etc. A female doctor is the operative (is the PS3 trophies are anything to go by).
