In other Mass Effect news, fans are still waiting for more from the series, whether it's more DLC, or an entirely new game. If Bioware goes with the latter, doen't expect it to be following the chronology set by the Shepherd trilogy.
"We have already said that the Commander Shepard trilogy is over and that the next game will not feature him/her," said Bioware community manager Chris Priestly on Bioware's social forums. "That is the only detail you have on the game. I see people saying 'well, they'll have to pick a canon ending.' No, because the game does not have to come after. Or before. Or off to the side. Or with characters you know. Or yaddayaddayadda."

As for DLC, pictures have been teased, and data exposed, but nothing officially has been said by BioWare.
Eurogamer reports that a user named TSA_383 explored a small upgrade patch released late last month, and discovered some files dealing with the new Reckoning DLC. The user than shared his findings with Clevernoob forums. A descriptor of the DLC also popped up on Reddit. You can read it all below:
"The day of reckoning is nigh! The Reckoning Multiplayer Expansion brings six new never before seen co-op story missions to the game and new co-op gameplay modes. It provides four new maps to conquer and hazard variations of the Earth maps.
"It also enables reinforcement packs that offer new kits for the salarians, krogans, humans and volus. In-game reinforcement packs now include three new weapons (Chakram Launcher, Blood Pack Punisher and Adas Anti-Synthetic Rifle)."
The weapons listed above have been added to single player, but the data-miner has found that they will also make the jump to multiplayer as part of the Reckoning DLC.
BioWare has promised for information on the newest DLC by the end of the month.
