Mass Effect SP DLC (timing and speculation) thread

To the best of my knowledge, Bioware have never used events to announce DLC. They typically only announce DLC literally days before it releases.

I'm not sure about that. Promoting it months before release would mean it would have been announced around the same time Leviathan was released (Lev came out in August, Omega 3 months later).

Agreed it dosen't mean anything yet as long as they don't take too much longer as people on here I've noticed  starting to get anxious. I wouldn't put myself among them yet but it's clear on this forum there are a few. I think as long as they announce one within the next couple of months or so we should be OK .They certainly need to get at least announcement and ideally the first DLC out about before the end of the summer that's for sure. We should at the very least get an announcement even if we don't get a DLC yet.

Mass Effect 1 (Xbox 360) launched November 2007 and Bring Down the Sky launched in March 2008.....5 months after game launch.

Mass Effect 2 (Xbox 360/PC) launched January 2010 and Overlord launched in June 2010.....5 months after game launch.

Mass Effect 3 (360,PS3, and PC) launched March 2012 and Levitation launched in August 2012.....5 months after game launch.

For an added bonus:

Dragon Age Inquisition launched November 2014 and Jaws of Hakkon launched March 2015.....5 months after game launch.


As you can see, 5 months after launch seems to be the point where Bioware releases the 1st major story DLC for their games if using past ME games along with their most recent DAI as factual reference. This means that if there is any story DLC for MEA, it should release in August which is 2 months away.

Take that for what you want but I am just going by factual patterns from the past.

Since Mac said in March they were looking into it, then in April they had already started on it? Also they said in the patch notes they had to create new stuff since Scott/Jaal was not cut content (minus a few lines) but new, and they had to figure out how to make it work.

I believe facts not stupid, biased thinking like that article has created.

MEA Schrödinger DLC, the DLC that cannot be denied and cannot be confirmed.


Need to remember that EA moved unspecified number of BioWare Montréal developers to Motive Studios to work on Star Wars Battlefront II which releases November 2017, and another untitled Star Wars game coming 2018, then there's also Anthem coming Fall 2018.

I personally don't expect any MEA SP DLC at all, at best any DLC plans will be chopped down to some MP Apex/Strike Team missions.
But you can enjoy the upcoming books - bsn.boards.net/thread/272/.

DLC ? Well i wish you luck with this, cause MEA is dead and forgotten.
No one is even discussing this game anymore anywhere else.

Hyperbole much?
Also if you trully believe that what are you still doing here?

It all depends if something already was in development when the game launched. I don't expect something new and shiny, but if they already had something - best guess is Quarian, since it's hinted at in the main game - they probably will release it sooner or later.

I think they lost their natural troll cave and found this place fits them better.

Just because a game or DLC is in developmemt, doesnt mean it has to release. Games and dlc projects goes full swing into development and gets cancelled all the time. If EA believes they can cut their loss by cancelling MEA dlc and using that time, resources, and money on something more profitable they will.
