New Mass effect 2 DLC: The Lair of the Shadow Broker!

More Mass Effect is always a good thing, and Bioware seeks to please with the announcement of a brand new expansion to Mass Effect 2. Entitled the Lair of the Shadow Broker, you as Commander Shepard will team up once again with Dr. Liara T’Soni on her mission for vengeance against the mysterious Shadow Broker.




For those of you who don’t sporadically read the mass effect wiki for hours at a time, or have played the first game a good dozen times since launch, here at the facts and details you need to know to understand the upcoming DLC package.

Warning somewhat vague Spoilers ahead

The Shadow Broker is an enigmatic figure that deals information and other goods throughout the galaxy, illegally. During a comic book mini-series entitled Mass Effect: Redemption, staring the popular character Liara T’soni, a party member from the first game, had dealings with the Shadow broker revolving around a rather important item in the Mass Effect Mythos. Liara took a turn for the worse, and became a cold heartless information broker, focused on nothing but finding The Shadow Broker and killing him. This conflict will more than likely be the focus of the DLC.

With the news Bioware, also released 3 images from the DLC pack. If you notice in the image located at the top of the article, it features an entire party and Liara. This probably means that Liara will actually be added as a full party member, and likely just be a 4th fiddle. Coincidentally this was also the role she played when you first meet her in the first Mass Effect.

The other two images don’t really reveal any information.

Well Mass Effect Fans Get your biotics ready, because we are about to travel in to the Lair of the Shadow Broker! At a currently undisclosed time… Come back later for even more info, as soon as we get it, and leave you comments below or over at the WPR forums.
