In an interview with one of the fine gentlemen from EA, this is the info that we have on the upcoming DLC.
Hey Reid, what’s up with the new campaign maps? Care to share some light on them?
RS: Yeah no problem. We’re building 2 new campaign maps.
The first one takes place in Kiev in abandoned medical facilities.
The second is our answer to DVD style extras… You’ll play an alternate version of the final Miami (SSC HQ) areas…And yes you’ll get to fight Dalton for real…
Also, we’re building a new versus map that is based on the canal lock area in china, but changed up a bit, and now at night.
However, the first DLC to be released will be SSC Challenge. You’ll see a trailer for this very soon. Its like American Gladiators meets AO2.
Note: We’re still figuring out the pricing/cost for all this content.
Thanks for the info Reid, and can you tell us whether there wil be New Achievements with the new campaign map or for the SSC Challenge mode?
RS: Yes, we’re working on some new acheivements for all of it.

Fox aired a segment about the game, also making false claims about its actual contents, even running a headline that claimed “New videogame shows full digital nudity and sex.” As the hordes of gamers who’ve actually watched the scene can tell you, Mass Effect does no such thing. Far be it from journalists (or psychologists) to actually play the game they’re defaming.
All of this has now led to EA — BioWare’s new parent company — sending Fox a letter regarding the false claims about their new property. The letter comes from EA’s VP of communications Jeff Brown and asks that Fox correct the claims made in its report. Brown takes particular exception to the claims that the game shows full nudity and sex, noting that the game shows no “explicit or frontal nudity” and that what is on display is no worse than what’s seen on Fox’s own programs like The OC. He further take exception to Fox’s assertion that Mass Effect is “marketed to kids and teenagers,” by noting that the game is rated M and that ESRB ratings “work as well or better” than ratings placed on television content.
Brown then takes the four person “panel” that discussed the game during the segment, saying “They have had zero experience with Mass Effect and are largely ignorant about videogames, the people who play them, and the ESRB system that governs their ratings and sales.” He concludes the letter civilly, “This isn’t a legal threat; it’s an appeal to your sense of fairness. We’re asking FNC to correct the record on Mass Effect.”
