Mass Effect 2 Kasumi DLC out in April

560 MS/BioWare Points on Xbox 360 and PC.

BioWare has announced that the Kasumi - Stolen Memory Mass Effect 2 DLC will be released in April for Xbox 360 and PS3. The content, which introduces new playable character Kasumi Goto, the galaxy’s most enigmatic and cunning master thief, will be priced 560 MS/BioWare Points.

In return for her help, Kasumi has asked for Commander Shepard's help on a dangerous heist to infiltrate the vault of a deadly master criminal named Donovan Hock. Players must gain Kasumi's loyalty on the planet Bekenstein, where Hock is throwing a party for some of the galaxy's richest and most deranged criminal minds. The mission: recover data of great importance to Kasumi, and to the galaxy at large.

In addition to being able to recruit Kasumi in all new missions, players will be able to utilise her special skills as a member of Commander Shepard's squad throughout the entire game.

"Mass Effect 2 is BioWare’s highest Metacritic game to date, and we are excited to be able to expand that experience by introducing another engaging new character in Kasumi," said Aaryn Flynn, Studio General Manager of BioWare Edmonton. "Kasumi - Stolen Memory is a testament to our promise to continue to provide fans with new, compelling, high quality post-launch content."

Prior to the launch of Kasumi - Stolen Memory in April, the Firewalker DLC will be released free of charge through the Cerberus Network on March 23. The pack includes five missions taking place on five uncharted worlds. Players will be able to explore planets and engage in combat in the new Hammerhead hover-tank.
