BioWare has revealed The Cerberus Network, an in-game portal in Mass Effect 2 that promises to keep fans engaged with the Mass Effect universe through downloadable content and news.
The Cerberus Network is activated exclusively by original purchasers of Mass Effect 2 through a single-use unlock code that comes included in retail and digital versions of the game. For players who do not buy the game new, The Cerberus Network can be unlocked through a one-time, in-game purchase of a new activation code.
“The Cerberus Network augments and extends the rich universe of Mass Effect 2,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, co-founder, BioWare and Group General Manager of the RPG/MMO Group of EA. “We’re thrilled to be able to reward loyal BioWare and Mass Effect fans with ongoing, high quality content and provide a direct channel for our players to dive deeper into the intriguing lore of Mass Effect.”
Players who access The Cerberus Network will receive the first DLC pack on January 26 (the North American launch) featuring new missions and in-game items. Included in this pack is a mission that introduces Zaeed, a rugged and deadly gun-for-hire who is recruited to join Commander Shepard’s mission to save mankind.
BioWare also announced post release DLC that will introduce the Hammerhead, a hover tank featuring improved handling on rough terrain. In addition to this new vehicle, BioWare will release new missions and unique in-game items, including Cerberus Assault Armour and the M-22 Eviscerator Shotgun.
Mass Effect 2 will be released in the UK on January 29 for Xbox 360 and PC.
