It is a joyous and yet mournful day for Mass Effect fans everywhere. The final DLC chapter for Mass Effect 3 has been announced. There will be two DLC packs released, one for single player and one for multiplayer.

Mass Effect 3: Citadel will have players exploring parts of the central station they have never seen before. Be prepared to reconnect with characters that you may have come across in all three of the Mass Effect games. Grab your tissues because this promises to be another emotional journey with Shepard and crew.  Citadel will be released on March 5th for 1200 Microsoft Points or $14.99.

“The team has poured heart and soul into Mass Effect 3: Reckoning and Mass Effect 3: Citadel. As the launch of these chapters near, the feeling around the studio is bittersweet,” said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer of the Mass Effect series. “We have always been humbled and driven by the passion of our fans for the Mass Effect trilogy. 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.”

Mass Effect: Reckoning is the new multiplayer pack and will be free to download on February 26, 2013. It will offer new weapons and character kits.

It’s time to say goodbye to Commander Shepard and I know I am not alone when I say it has been a wonderful ride. The Commander will be sorely missed.
