Hello there Guv’nors,
It would seem the chaps over at BioWare have been busy not only creating the sequel to one of the most successful Action RPG’s on the XBox 360, but they’ve been working on more content for the original title to boot.
Three achievements (“Undisputed”, “New Sheriff in Town” and “Best of the Best”) have been added to the game’s page on XBox.com, and now also on the game page here. So, although no official announcement from BioWare has been made, the rumours circulating the World Wide Web have come to fruition.
Each achievement is worth 50G bringing the total for the game to an unusual 1200G, and revolve around a place called “Pinnacle Station” which will be much like the bar/fight club from KotOR. It’ll also replace story with action, being a fight club, the focus will be shifted to combat against currently unknown enemies.
If you purchased the Platinum edition of the game, and watch the documentary “The Future of Mass Effect” on the bonus DVD, you may have already known this was coming, as Principal Lead Designer Preston Watamaniuk said during this:
“Things we’re working on right now, for the Mass Effect universe next … we had something in Mass Effect 1 that again, we weren’t able to pull off just because we didn’t have the time and we didn’t think we’d be able to do it well enough, which was a fight club or an arena. So we’re actually working on that for our next downloadable content piece and we’re hoping it’ll be really special.”All sounds like exciting stuff, but the rumour mill is currently spinning the story that there won’t be an announcement for the release of the DLC, so the next time you hear about it will be when it becomes available on the XBL Marketplace. Either way, we’ll keep you posted.
…ToeJam & Earl!
