Mass Effect 2's "Arrival" DLC dated

As a bridge between the events of Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 (which is currently slated to arrive this holiday 2011), a new piece of downloadable content is arriving on Xbox 360, PC, and Playstation Network for $7 or 560 microsoft points if you are an Xbox 360 owner.

In "Arrival", Commander Shepard is sent to the edge of the galaxy to rescue an undercover operative who may have vital information about the impending invasion of an advanced race of machines known as the Reapers. The DLC will feature the returning character, Admiral Hackett, who is voiced by legendary science-fiction actor Lance Henriksen (Alien, Terminator).

“All year, we have been extremely honored and humbled by the reception we have received for Mass Effect 2 from players around the world, including our post release DLC”, said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer, Mass Effect series. “Mass Effect: Arrival is an exciting extension to Mass Effect 2 and will show players just how close the Reapers are to returning and completing their deadly harvest.”
