(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Bioware this week announced that the final mission for "Mass Effect 2," dubbed Arrival, will be available for download on March 29.

"Mass Dffect: Arrival" will include three new achievements for the Xbox 360 and the PC, as well as three new trophies for the PlayStation 3. It will be available for 560 Microsoft Points on the Xbox 360, 560 Bioware Points, or about $9 on the PlayStation.

In this mission, Commander Shepard must travel to the edge of the galaxy to rescue an undercover operative who might have information about an upcoming Reaper invasion. "Mass Effect: Arrival" also includes the return of Admiral Hackett, voiced by actor Lance Henriksen of "Alien" and "Terminator" fame.

"All year, we have been extremely honored and humbled by the reception we have received for 'Mass Effect 2' from players around the world, including our post release DLC", Casey Hudson, executive producer of the series, said in a statement. "'Mass Effect: Arrival' is an exciting extension to 'Mass Effect 2' and will show players just how close the Reapers are to returning and completing their deadly harvest."

Bioware has been teasing the release of "Mass Effect: Arrival" all week, releasing screen shots from the mission on its Web site.

Earlier this week, "Mass Effect 2" won the best game award at the British Academy of Film and Television (BAFTA) Video Games Awards. It was lauded by the jury as a "combined achievement of technology, art, design [and] audio… a beautiful complete gaming experience."

The game also won "Game of the Year" at the Swedish "Dataspelsgalan" (Videogame Awards).

In December, BioWare officially unveiled "Mass Effect 3," an update to the franchise that will launch in time for the 2011 holiday season on the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3, and the PC. The game's trailer, dubbed "Earth," made its debut at the Spike Video Game Awards, and "Mass Effect 3" marks the first time a game in the franchise will launch simultaneously on the three platforms.

Being a HUGE mass effect fan, i plan on getting this!
I beat the games (both 1 and 2) on xbox multiple times and when it came to ps3 i was even happier cause im def more of a PS3 person than xbox.
Anyone excited for ME3?

I might get this, ME2 is a great game. I got the platinum in 2 playthroughs , and it was fun from beginning to end.
