Free Mass Effect 3 Resurgence DLC pack available on April 10
Mass Effect 3 fans may have to wait before they get the Extended Cut DLC this summer, but that doesn’t mean they will have to wait until three or more months from now to get some new content.
BioWare and EA today announced that Mass Effect 3 will be getting its first significant post-launch DLC pack on April 10 and, much to everyone’s surprise, said DLC will be made available to Mass Effect 3 players at “no extra charge.”
Mass Effect 3‘s first post-release DLC won’t add on to the story, however. Resurgence, as the DLC is called, instead adds in a whole bunch of new multiplayer goodies, including new characters, new weapons, and even two all-new maps.
Considering how much content is available in Mass Effect 3‘s Resurgence DLC, it’s at least a bit surprising that EA is willing to hand it out for free. The DLC adds in the Batarian and Geth races–both have two classes to choose from–and the “Firebase Hydra” and “Firebase Condor” maps.
