  • First Mass Effect DLC scheduled for March 10th

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

From Bioware's Chris Priestly"

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.



More.


The DLC will fit into an existing game (or will be available if you start a new game) and will appear as a new Galaxy Map location.

It takes place during the game play, not "after the game".

March 10 is for all regions afaik (if I hear different I will let everyone know). There will be localized subtitles, but not VO.

Bring Down the Sky is only available through Xbox Live. Sign up for an Xbox Live account and learn more about how to get Live Points for ME DLC.

And yes, this is the FIRST Mass Effect DLC, there will be more to come in the future (but we aren't talking about that just yet)






If it plays like the story planets, I'm totally down.

Shivering Isles (and maybe Knights of the Nine) did. I think there was one for Gears that did as well.

Annex, but unlike the others, at least that was free

Gears has only had a map pack come out and as far as I know it contained no achievements

It was from the second map pack (not the free one).

I think it's free now, though.
