Mass Effect DLC Details Announced

First off: A special thank you to cometojames of the Mass Effect Forum for kindly giving is a heads-up regarding a recent Mass Effect DLC announcement made by the folks at IGN. Cheers, ctj!

The Mass Effect DLC is said to feature around 90 minutes of gameplay and an additional 50 unlockable achievements points. “Bring Down the Sky“, the title of this downloadable expansion pack, will be the first of many to be made available over Xbox Live over the coming months. Here’s a brief snippet taken from IGN’s article:

BioWare and Microsoft sent out word today to announce the first set of Mass Effect downloadable content. The pack, called Bring Down the Sky, is set to release on March 10 at 2AM PST for 400 Microsoft Points (US $5). This is the first in a series of upcoming downloadable content planned for the game that Microsoft claims 1.6 million people have picked up.

The Bring Down the Sky download will introduce a new uncharted world and features the alien race of the Batarians. An extremist group has hijacked an asteroid station in the Asgard system and put it on a collision course with the colony world Terran Nova. It’s up to Commander Shepard to save the innocent civilians.

Thanks once again to cometojames for brining this Mass Effect DLC announcement to light!
