Bioware shed us some light today with more information on the story behind the upcoming downloadable content for Mass Effect 2.
The new DLC for Mass Effect 2 is titled, Overlord, which is set to release sometime next month. The DLC will take Sherpard once again into a Cerberus research base that’s mysteriously gone silent. The Geths are be back and it’s up for Shepard to put an end to the Geth invasion once again.
Overlord DLC is scheduled for June release and will be available for 560 Microsoft Points on the Xbox 360 and PC. Below is the official description of the DLC:
When sent to investigate a Cerberus research base that’s mysteriously gone silent, Shepard arrives to find Geth overrunning the base. The sole survivor, Chief Scientist Archer, paints a dire picture: an experiment to fuse a human volunteer with a virtual intelligence created a dangerous hybrid “VI overlord”. The rampaging VI has already attacked three other Cerberus bases, controlling any technology it finds in an attempt to break free–and unleashing Geth across the planet. Unless Shepard can infiltrate the VI’s fortress and shut it down, this homicidal intelligence will beam itself-off planet and wreak havoc on other systems. The action unfolds over five new level areas, with two new achievements.
