BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts Inc., yesterday released new downloadable content for Mass Effect 2. "Lair of the Shadow Broker" (800 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360, 800 BioWare Points on PC), centers around Liara, a popular character and squadmate from the original Mass Effect.
"... 'Lair of the Shadow Broker' represent our commitment to keeping the game worlds alive with high quality content, even post-launch," said BioWare Edmonton General Manager Aaryn Flynn. "Fans are asking for more characters, more adventures and that is what we're delivering. Morrigan (Dragon Age: Origins) and Liara are two of the most beloved characters in their respective franchises and completing these new journeys will add to the story and action of both games."
In Mass Effect 2 "Lair of the Shadow Broker", Liara T'Soni is tracking down the mysterious Shadow Broker with the hopes of recovering a kidnap victim. Liara enlists the help of Commander Shepard and his crew, chasing clues from the luxurious heights of Illium to the depths of the Shadow Broker's own secret lair. The new DLC pack adds the Shadow Broker intel center, new research, as well as the chance to continue a relationship with Liara from the original Mass Effect. With more than 70 perfect review scores, Mass Effect 2 is the highest rated game of 2010 on Xbox 360 and PC* and was recently named the number one game of all time for Xbox 360 by IGN.com.
