Rumor: Mass Effect 2 to Receive Massive Amounts of DLC

The original Mass Effect rocked our socks. Its DLC, though? Not so much. Fortunately, if a Microsoft Expert Zone retailer quiz is to be believed, BioWare’s making up for Mass Effect’s DLC deficiency in a big way with Mass Effect 2.

According to the quiz, planned content includes “episodic combat via DLC, weapon and armor packs, new downloadable characters for the campaign experience, new downloadable worlds, as well as full campaign expansions for download.”

Here’s hoping that BioWare doesn’t also take the EA Renegade route and peddle things like cheat codes and cosmetic upgrades for exorbitant prices.”Exorbitant,” in this case, meaning “anything other than free.”

New Mass Effect DLC Arrives Not with a Bang, But with a Whimper

BioWare recently released some spankin’ new Mass Effect DLC, but, uh, it seems like they forgot to tell everyone. Titled “Pinnacle Station,” the Mass Effect DLC made a minimal impact upon landing, mostly because there was little-to-no pre-release hype associated with its launch. Oh sure, there were some hints – a wink, a nudge, and even a leak – but not a(n official) word from Microsoft or BioWare.

You’d think it’d be in your best interest to promote a new addition to your two year-old game, seeing as how most people have probably shelved it at this point. But then, we’re not marketing experts, so what do we know?

Anyway, the DLC costs five Washingtons – or one Lincoln – and gets Shepard and co. back in shape for Mass Effect 2 with 13 brand new combat missions.

Go grab it here, if you’re interested.

Bioware Explain Dragon Age’s Slight Delay

Studio just wanted more time to finalize things.

Dragon Age: Origins was hit with a delay last week. Fortunately for fans, the game was only moved back into early November and not sometime in 2010 like so many other titles have already. 

Dragon Age: Origins Executive Producer Mark Darrah told IGN the slight delay had nothing to do with anytechnical issues for the game, adding the studio just needed a couple more weeks to make some last minute decisions. 

“We’re just taking a little time to finalize things,” Darrah said. “We’re focusing on making sure that we bring each SKU up to quality.” Bioware demands each version of the game to be in tip-top shape for release, so the studio is focusing on each platform one at a time. 

Dragon Age: Origins for Playstation 3 won’t be shipping simultaneously with the PC and Xbox 360 versions, but instead later in November. Darrah explained the reasoning behind this, only saying “this is just the order we’ve chosen to [release] them in.” 

He also assured the PS3 version was not being held back due to development issues, and added it’s “coming along great.” 

Darrah also wouldn’t nail down a release date for the Playstation 3 version, but said it will come out “pretty soon” after the others.
