14 DAY TRIAL // BioWare has announced that two pieces of downloadable content will be released soon for Mass Effect 2. The first one will be a weapon pack, while the second add-on will team-up Shepard with Liara T'soni to fight the insidious Shadow Broker. There have been hints at such a development during the main story of Mass Effect and it is no surprise to see BioWare allowing its fans to finally meet and confront one of the more mysterious characters of the series.
Some fans were quite happy to see in the screenshots of Lair of the Shadow Broker some new weapons. According to BioWare's Jarret Lee, most these weapons will come another package that will be released before the one involving Liara T'soni. Some of the guns that appear in the screenshots, however, would be part of the story DLC, he assured the fans.
On the official forums of Mass Effect 2, Lee wrote that, “some of the new guns you are seeing in those screens are not in the Lair of the Shadow Broker pack. They are in fact part of a different pack that will be released prior to Lair of the Shadowbroker - more details coming very soon. While this was simply intended to tease them I can see how it could be misleading, so I must apologize for that. ”
He continued to comment that, “Lair of the Shadow Broker does, however, contain some *really* cool stuff we haven't revealed yet so stay tuned for more details as we head into August. And actually the very coolest part of the DLC (imho) will be something we absolutely won't reveal in the marketing or PR, to avoid spoiling it. I think most of you will find it to be our most satisfying DLC release yet for ME2.” No release date has been mentioned for any of the downloadable content packs.
