Eagle-eyed Mass Effect 2 players have spotted three new PS3 trophies which showed up after a recent patch. What’s interesting about the trophies is that they appear to reveal a new piece of DLC.
The “Arrival” DLC has three associated trophies (thanks NeoGAF):
The Ultimate Sacrifice – Complete the Arrival DLC
Last Stand -Survive all five waves in the battle for Object Rho
Covert Action -Rescue Dr. Amanda Kenson without attracting hostile attention.
According to RPG Site, Dr. Kenson was mentioned in the final Cerberus News Network update.
“Historians and astronomers alike are abuzz tonight over a new paper published by Dr. Amanda Kenson of the University of Arcturus. Her team claims that by testing the dust trapped in the gravity wells around a mass relay, and comparing its composition to that of dust clouds in the same system, scientists can create a timeline of when the relay passed through the dust. Her conclusion? “Only a small fraction of the mass effect relays date back 50,000 years,” she writes, “The majority are far older, indicating they were created by a species predating even the Protheans.” Dr. Aurana T’Meles of the University of Serrice met the information with skepticism: “While Dr. Kenson’s methods appear sound, the asari tried a similar procedure centuries ago and discounted it. What civilization could have spanned the galaxy for not thousands, but millions of years? If this were the case, we should have found mountains of evidence of their passing. Where is this species now?””
Earlier this year BioWare revealed that there would be one further DLC release for Mass Effect 2, and “Arrival” appears to be that extra content.
The Cerberus update read: “Daily postings will cease except for three weeks in 2011: a week of posts will precede a downloadable content release, and two more weeks will lead up to the release of Mass Effect 3.”
