Bioware just announced Bring Down the Sky downloadable content for Mass Effect, to be released on the 10th of March. For a cost of 400p, you will get 90 extra minutes of gameplay and 50 possible gamerscore points. Inside you will find some more info and the first images of it.

Quoting Bioware announcement:
To date, over 1.6 million gamers have explored the engaging sci-fi universe of Mass Effect. Beginning on March 10, fans everywhere will be able to expand the “Mass Effect” experience with the release of the first ever downloadable content for the award-winning saga.

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.

Finally we get to see the Batarians! Just as ugly as they are described in the book!

Hope this is a mission on par with Feros/Noveria/Ilos/Virmire

Wait, what?!

Not more of the uncharted worlds! That's the worst thing that ever happened to ME, the boring "uncharted worlds". If this is just the same old template with another skin and a different enemy for 400 p I think I'll pass on this one, thank you very much.

I'll wait for some solid info/footage, but I get the feeling this isn't the DLC I was hoping for. >:(

Also, what ever happened to a patch for the crappy performance...hmmmnn...yeah right...

You have the Uncharted World AND an Asteroid space station.

Yeah, but I'd like to see this asteroid station first. It could well be just the same as all the other ones in ME. All the uncharted worlds have a station or cave or whatever you call them and they're all the same.

If this is more like the Citadel, then I can't be more excited. But another generic station? No thank you.

If it's a significant download, the enviroments must at least be different to the cookie cutter ones from the main game....

I'll see if I can find out

EDIT: No joy fellas...I think there are bigger DLC bits in the works mind, strikes me as more of a testing of the water

I agree. Even still, if I wanted to play through another boring side quest, I would have completed them all in the main game.

Turn off the motion blur and the film grain.

Screw DLC, just bring on the ME2 news already! Mass Effect 1 was easily the best RPG I have ever played, but never really played the side-missions too much, they were way too repetitive and boring IMO.

Commented on 2008-02-06 20:08:23

You wont get any ME2 news for a while

Hmm I wonder how we get to that place. I saved my game on the last area and I don't think I can get out from there... at least I can go to there with my evil character. I want to see some more about this DLC before I make my choice.
