Next Mass Effect DLC to feature combat arena

February 16, 2009 in News comments 12

It turns out that the next (and probably final) DLC for Mass Effect is going to probably feature a space-station based, mercenary combat arena. Perhaps like the one found in Knights of the Old Republic.

Some tidbits on the game came out in the latest documentary found in Mass Effect Platinum Hits Edition, which just came.

"We had something in Mass Effect 1 which we didn't have the time and we didn't think we would do well enough, which is a fight club arena," says lead designer Preston Watamaniuk in the video. Project director Casey Hudson added: "We wanted to be able to give people a much more combat-oriented, lighter-story kind of experience. You're going to go to kind of a casino, gaming, fight club space station."

      Remember back in other BioWare titles; the Arena in KoTR, and the arena in JE, it's going to essentially be the same kinda thing. Just DLC that adds a new area+achievements.

      But if it's anything like the other arenas, then holy shit it will be FUN.

    Why don't they just wait until Mass Effect 2 to add this?

    The developers also dropped a few details on the anticipated Mass Effect sequel.

    "Any save game that you make from Mass Effect 1, you should be able to carry that same character into Mass Effect 2," noted Hudson.
    From my alt source.

    To me, that kinda squash's the rumor for it to be on PS3 unfortunately for people who wanted it, as they won't be able to use pre-chars.

    Lookin forward to the DLC though!

    YAY! More Mass Effect content. I am about to have another 2 complete playthroughs just to relive the amazing title.

    This is second only to Lost Odyssey as my favourite RPG title this generation.

    Reminds me of the Jade Empire arena chapter.

    So what happens to those that never played the first game but still wanna go with the sequel?

    Kind of a big gap isn't it? The last DLC was released ages ago.

      Sure is. I guess it's a different way to get people hyped up on ME2 more or something.

      I don't mind it, been wanting to go back to Mass Effect.
