Next Mass Effect DLC Sounds Epic

Mass Effect 3 has been out for nearly eight months, but that doesn't mean the game's DLC release schedule is slowing down. The next batch of downloadable content will involve BioWare Edmonton's entire writing team.

Some people were disapointed by Mass Effect 3's Omega add-on, which came out last week, but it sounds like ME 3's next batch of content will be anything but second tier. According to an official post on BioWare's forums, "It's all hands on deck for this one. Pretty much every ME3 DLC writer here in Edmonton is involved. (which would include both Patrick Weekes AND John Dombrow)." 

Mass Effect 3 composer Sam Hulick added, "What I'm up to lately: working on an unannounced Mass Effect 3 DLC! More details on this coming later on," recently via twitter

Expect Joker to make a return in this upcoming package as well, since BioWare's producer and voice director Caroline Livingstone recently tweeted, "thank you for yet another fantastic session. And thank you for being such a kind person. You are lovely!" to voice actor Seth Green recently. Sounds like somebody has a crush. (I'm talking about me!)

All this adds up to some pretty robust sounding downloadable content. Hopefully we get to hear more about this very soon.

  • I'm really only a fan of the first game in the series.
  • More Mass Effect is never a bad thing.
  • I hope Bioware does deliver something epic in the dlc world for Mass Effect 3. Even though I hated the ending for the game, I'm really hoping the next dlc is able to win me back (whereas Leviathan and Omega failed to peak my interest at all).

  • So it's epic because they actually have all of the writers working on the DLC and it has Joker?
  • I havent bought any DLC yet for this game but that might change soon. If its as good as layer of the shadow broker then im down!
  • I sadly havent gotten around to playing any of the DLC yet, but I definitely mean to at some point. Hopefully this shapes up to be awesome
  • Does that also include the people who wrote the ending? If so, it may be significantly less epic.
  • Can-not freak-ing wait!!

  • Are they the people that wrote the first game? If they're the ones that wrote the last 15 minutes of Mass Effect 3, I'm not interested...
  • YES.

  • Nice to hear something now.

  • I wish they would have just done a season pass for this game. I want all the DLC, but am a bit tight on money.

  • Probably only person in the world that loved the game and has all the DLC and cant wait for more!
  • Getting myself the Trilogy for Christmas. I think playing through Mass Effect 1 & 2 should give me enough time to get everything all prepared for when this new DLC gets released. I'm excited to say the least!
  • How does this sound epic?

  • Sounds fine to me. Lemme at it.

  • Huh, I wonder what more they will add. Joker's backstory maybe? Whatever it is, color me intrigued.

  • Tone down the hype, bruh.
  • Can't wait for more story. I hope it is of Lair of the Shadow Broker quality.
  • They also mentioned tears, let's hope they aren't ones of misery. I've been somewhat unimpressed by the ME3 dlc so far. Other than it's namesake, Leviathan rarely contributed anything and Omega was such a letdown.
