Just downloaded the patch for the PS3 version and noticed on my trophies list 3 extra were added for a new DLC pack called "Arrival" this is the first I've heard of this. Anyone know anything more?

edit:
Well I didn't expect this page to blow up the way it did even Joystiq has got on it:
http://www.joystiq.c...y-latest-patch/

The good people at escapist have also picked up on the story too:

Destructoid have also taken the story up: Spreading like wildfire :P

Seriously? Can you please post a screenshot?
This might be the first clue about the next DLC pack.

HUHWHA? Next DLC? PLACE YOUR BETS!

I say it has something to do with Ash/Kaidan.

Hmm. Guess we will have to wait and see. (I hate doing that, but it is all we can do)

Either this could explode into a thread of revealing small pieces of the next DLC. Or the more likely answer, it's some mistake/hoax/troll/misc. weirdness.

Here are the screens as proof: Pretty big images so beware. I don't want to type out what the descriptions are here in case they're too Spoilery.

Party pooper.

But you're somewhat right. Never trust the forums 100%.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Overlord has 3 achievements, while LotSB has 5.

I think that this fact hints about the pack's price & length.

Maybe it's a single achievement that accidentally leaked into the game. There could be more.

Hmm, looking at pixies I'd say there is a big probability we'll we getting some DLC (announcement) sugar anytime soon. Maybe tomorrow even. Bioware loves their Tuesdays.

Indeed:

"Historians and astronomers alike are abuzz tonight over a new paper published by Dr. Amanda Kenson of the University of Arcturus. Her team claims that by testing the dust trapped in the gravity wells around a mass relay, and comparing its composition to that of dust clouds in the same system, scientists can create a timeline of when the relay passed through the dust. Her conclusion? "Only a small fraction of the mass effect relays date back 50,000 years," she writes, "The majority are far older, indicating they were created by a species predating even the Protheans." Dr. Aurana T'Meles of the University of Serrice met the information with skepticism: "While Dr. Kenson's methods appear sound, the asari tried a similar procedure centuries ago and discounted it. What civilization could have spanned the galaxy for not thousands, but millions of years? If this were the case, we should have found mountains of evidence of their passing. Where is this species now?"”


Arrival of the Reapers anyone?

How do you guys see entries from the Ceberus network? Is that available on PS3 too - I downloaded the ceberus network pack but I haven't been able to read anything like that.

There won't be any CDN entries until a week before a DLC release and two weeks prior to the release of ME3.
