New Mass Effect 2 DLC Pits Liara Against The Shadow Broker
BioWare has announced the latest downloadable mission for Shepard's crew, entitled "Lair of the Shadow Broker." The mission involves teaming up with ally (and potential Mass Effect 1 romantic interest) Liara T'Soni to take on the notorious information broker.
Rumors first surfaced about this DLC back in April, but it's nice to have the official confirmation. Liara's behavior toward Shepard in Mass Effect 2, which was distant and unenthusiastic, left many fans of the first game disappointed. Hopefully, this DLC pack will explain why she wasn't elated to see the galaxy's greatest hero – especially since the events of the comic series Mass Effect: Redemption begin with Liara's quest to find Shepard. If nothing else, the pack is likely to elaborate on – and possibly conclude – Liara's ongoing struggle against the Shadow Broker.
BioWare hasn't revealed the specifics of the mission, such as price point, length, or whether it adds Liara as a permanent party member. Even the release date is a mystery; it is currently listed only as "coming soon." We'll be sure to bring you more details when they're available...and you won't even have to pay for the information like you would if you were dealing with a certain shadowy broker. In the meantime, check out screens from the upcoming DLC below.
