Bioware has put online some new screenshots and a press release for more details on their upcoming DLC for Mass Effect 2. Kasumi's Stolen Memory will be focused on the new character, Kasumi Goto. This downloadable content will be available in early April for 560 Microsoft/Bioware points.

Press Release:


Guildford, UK – March 22, 2010 – Leading video game developer BioWare™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), today revealed an all-new playable character to the Mass Effect™ 2 universe, a master thief named Kasumi. Coming this April in North America and Europe, the Kasumi – Stolen Memory PDLC pack will introduce Kasumi Goto, the galaxy’s most enigmatic and cunning master thief. In addition to being able to recruit Kasumi in all new missions, players will be able to utilize her special skills as a member of Commander Shepard’s squad throughout the entire game. The Kasumi – Stolen Memory PDLC pack will be available for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system at a cost of 560 Microsoft points, and on PC for 560 BioWare points.

“Mass Effect 2 is BioWare’s highest Metacritic game to date, and we are excited to be able to expand that experience by introducing another engaging new character in Kasumi,” said Aaryn Flynn, Studio General Manager of BioWare Edmonton. “Kasumi – Stolen Memory is a testament to our promise to continue to provide fans with new, compelling, high quality post-launch content.”

Cerberus has procured the service of Kasumi Goto, the galaxy’s most enigmatic master thief. In return for her help, Kasumi has asked for Commander Shepard’s help on a dangerous heist to infiltrate the vault of a deadly master criminal named Donovan Hock. Players must gain Kasumi’s loyalty on the planet Bekenstein, where Hock is throwing a party for some of the galaxy’s richest and most deranged criminal minds. The mission: recover data of great importance to Kasumi, and to the galaxy at large. In addition to this new mission, players will also receive a new research upgrade, one new weapon, and a new achievement in this PDLC pack.
Prior to the launch of Kasumi in April, also being released on March 23 through the Cerberus Network is the Firewalker DLC pack, which includes five heart-pounding missions taking place on five uncharted worlds. Players will be able to explore planets and engage in combat in the new Hammerhead hover-tank.

SWEEEEEET!!!!

The big question: Will she be a possible love-interest? (especially if she can accompany you on all missions)

I hope that hover-tank isn't going to be as bad as the mako...

Well, at least my character will have his chat-up line ready: "Love... oi, love. You've got a little something on your bottom lip. Yeah, just there. Got it? Excellent. Now let's go do the good stuff."

Well I'm actually not single, but you make it sound like that's relevant?

Nothing wrong with having an affair with a videogame character. It's how God intended it.

Not bad value for 560 points. Certainly better than 1200 points for 5 maps for a certain FPS...

I hope her quest won't end up being yet another shooting gallery. Also, 560 points for this seem a bit steep. This should rather be closer to 320 points. But considering the ME2 costume pack is 160, EA knows they picked up a cash-cow with Bioware. Shame they're being such pigs about it, you can never put too much content in an RPG. I'll pass this one.

that costume pack is a complete ripp off.. 3 costumes for 160.. guess why know why they "streamlined" all the collectable armour in ME2.

560 seems alright for this..though i would of perfered it 400. But it should atleast offer a flesh out character and missions to go with it.

And atleast we're still getting the vehicle dlc free

They can keep it, my limit was 400 points and even then i wasnt happy dropping that much for such limited content. If you scaled this up, roughly 4x as much content to equal the price of awakening, it would pale in comparison. At the end of the day, it's gonna take very little time to complete and thats where real value is judged. I think the costume pack shows it perfectly, it adds nothing to the game, no extra play time, no changes but what your character looks like and it still costs 160msp.

Horse armour all over again methinks.

Besides, no single DLCs so far was even worth actual money.

The 1200 MS Points are actually the price for all free DLCs together since you cant buy them on the marketplace itself....
The Charakter here is already know. Modders extracted sound files from this charakter etc.

1 1/2 hours of gameplay for one charakter + the mission? Everyone here can accomplish this in 10 Minutes or so. Same with the comming DLC for the "new" vehicle, the "Hammerhead". That thing is even shown on the last page in the artbook from the ME2 CE. Yeah, everything was soooo well planned.

Seriously, the game is so damn incomplete. It was just made for milking.


Thx EA, for ruining another awesome game.
