Mass Effect 3 Rebellion DLC is Officially Official

After Sony Hong Kong posted details about the DLC, only to later take the post down, the Rebellion pack for Mass Effect 3 has been given a release date. Introducing two brand new maps, a new equipment slot and team objective, Rebellion will also offer new unlockable characters, which have been given a little more detail since their mention in Sony Hong Kong's slip up. The new characters are the Vorcha, ex-Cerberus operatives, and Male Quarians.

A press release from BioWare clued us in on the details, which you can read below. 

·         Two New Action-Packed Maps - Land on Firebase Jade, located in a Salarian STG base on Sur'Kesh and fight to control Firebase Goddess on the Asari homeworld of Thessia.

·         Six Powerful New Unlockable Characters - Level and promote six new unlockable characters, including the ex-Cerberus Adept and Vanguard, the Vorcha Soldier and Sentinel or the Male Quarian Engineer and Infiltrator.  

·         New In-Mission Objective - Randomly occurring during waves 3, 6 and 10, this new objective will demand that teams retrieve a high priority package and securely escort it to a designated extraction zone on each map.

·         New Gear Slot - A new slot will be available on the equipment screen, offering players a persistent gameplay bonus that will not expire after the end of a match. These new items will vary from weapon upgrades to character enhancements and will be available through reinforcement packs. 

·         Lethal New Weapons - Eliminate the enemy with deadly new weapons, including the Cerberus Harrier, Krysae Sniper Rifle, and Reegar Carbine.

The Mass Effect 3: Rebellion Pack will be available starting May 29 on XboxLIVE® and on PlayStation Network in North America on May 29 and in Europe on May 30.
