Shepard and Co. will be getting one final sendoff, as Bioware has announced both the Citadel DLC and the Reckoning DLC for Mass Effect 3; with Citadel being the last single-player DLC for the game.
In Mass Effect 3: Citadel, Shepard is the target of a conspiracy that finds him and his squad fighting from the Citadel Wards all the way to the Council Archives. Characters from Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 are said to make an appearance and fight alongside Shepard, including the one and only Wrex (woo!).
After all the fighting dies down and the cast have some quiet time, you’ll be able to gamble at the Citadel’s Silver Coast Casino or try your luck at the Armax Combat Arena; because there’s no better remedy for fighting than more fighting.
Meanwhile, the Reckoning Multiplayer DLC, which will come free of charge, adds several new playable classes –The Geth Juggernaut, Female Turian Raptor, Talon Mercenary, Alliance Infiltration Unit– several new weapons and equipment like the Venom Shatgun, Geth Spitfire Assault Rifle and the Assault Rifle Omni-Blade, and the terrifying (to be on the receiving end of) Biotic Hammer, wielded by the Krogan Warlord.
“The team has poured heart and soul into Mass Effect 3: Reckoning and Mass Effect 3: Citadel. As the launch of these chapters near, the feeling around the studio is bittersweet,” said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer of the Mass Effect series.
Mass Effect 3: Citadel has a release date of March 5th for the Xbox 360, PC and PS3 (March 6th for PS3 in Europe) and will be $14.99/1200 MS Points. Mass Effect 3: Reckoning will release next week, February 26th, for the Xbox 360, PC and PS3 (March 7th for PS3 in Europe). Screenshots below.
OMG new mass effect DLC.
