The final piece of Mass Effect 3 single-player DLC will see the return of some old friends and old flames.

The story of Commander Shepard is finally coming to a close with a big, two-part DLC blowout. First up is Mass Effect 3: Citadel, a single-player add-on that has Commander Shepard targeted by a "sinister conspiracy," leading him into new Citadel locations ranging from the Wards to the top-secret Council Archives. The final Mass Effect 3 single-player DLC will bring about the return of squadmates from the original Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 and while EA hasn't revealed the full lineup yet, Urdnot Wrex is definitely on the list.

It's a "final, sentimental journey" with all-new cinematics and even the opportunity to "rekindle romances" with old paramours. And once the trouble is over, the Commander and Co. will be able to relax for awhile at the Silver Coast Casino, hit up the Armax Combat Arena and furnish Shepard's own personal living quarters on the station.

"As the launch of these chapters near, the feeling around the studio is bittersweet," Mass Effect Executive Producer Casey Hudson said. "We hope fans will enjoy spending more time with some of their favorite characters - we have certainly enjoyed spending time creating them. We're excited to release this final sendoff for the trilogy and move forward into the future of the Mass Effect universe."

On the multiplayer side of the coin, Mass Effect 3: Reckoning will add the Geth Spitfire assault rifle, Venom shotgun, Lancer assault rifle and Biotic Hammer, as well as new classes including the Geth Juggernaut, Female Turian Raptor, Talon Mercenary and Alliance Infiltration Unit. Two new weapon mods are also being tossed into the mix, the Geth Scanner and the Assault Rifle Omni-Blade.

Mass Effect 3: Citadel is scheduled to launch on March 5 at a cost of 1200 Microsoft points or $14.99. Mass Effect 3: Reckoning will hit on February 26, and will be free. To find out more about both, head over to masseffect.com

I seen this like 3 hours ago and meant to post about it.

I dunno if I'm copping the single player DLC. I copped "Leviathan" and never even really started it and never copped "Omega". I kinda got zero interest in the game after that ending. For example, don't really see the point of exploring the Citadel or buying a crib and furnishing it when it gets blown the fukk up at the end of the game anyway.

The multi-player DLC I'm excited about though. I still play it often. :ahh:

Just like ME2 I'll wait for the super edition and get all the DLC for free. I'm in no rush at all.

I think it's to chill with your old squad mates you can't recruit in this game.

thats cool...personally I have a backlog of like 15 games so I'm good. I think its good cuz Bioware is listening to the people...eh now. Many were complaining that some old characters weren't in ME3.

I'm :bryan: for this multi-player DLC. The Geth Juggernaut is the same as the first "Mass Effect" game. He's about twice as tall as a Husk:

Also has the same Pulse Cannon as the Geth Primes in "ME3". :ahh:

Been playing through ME3 with my renegade character for the past couple of weeks. Depending on reviews may holdoff on finishing it and getting the single-player. Haven't played the multiplayer since Halo dropped so I may get back into that too.

Does anyone know what it's looking like online these days?

I play on PC and it's still active as hell no matter what time I'm on. I imagine there's even more people on consoles.
