After Omega, I don't know... Omega was a good example of what I didn't want from ME3. It didn't really bring anything new onto the table, it was 90% linear hallway combat, and the choices were pathetically weak. Why can't Bioware create something more morally complex?


I'd have to agree with this. I bought every other piece of ME2/ME3 DLC on their launch days without even reading any reactions or reviews, but Omega was disappointing in its direction and the lack of... I don't know.. verve. It felt very perfunctory, and I'd hate to feel like Mass Effect content is just existing for the sake of it. 

I'm a bit wary of the DLC strategy in general, frankly. The valuation seems to be way out of whack (I could justify 800 MSP for Leviathan, but 1200 for Omega was absurd), and nobody from Bioware seemed to be eager to clear up unrealistic expectations that emerged before Omega's release - things like an actual hub, or an Aria/Nyreen conflict that had huge consequences. When they turned out to not be the case, I can understand the cynicism.

Call me crazy, but I have a feeling there will be a new SP DLC before the end of this month.

Having something to download during the Christmas vacation, is something many people would like. And I bet Bioware knows that. Some places people will be trapped inside because it's cold outside, and people will be home from work. What could be more tempting than a new dlc in that situation?

I'm guessing December 19?

That is the impression I'm getting, as the new DLC is already in QA. Seems like it might be out by Christmas or New Years, if not shortly into the new year. And they are already well into the next DLC, which seems to be rather large as all the writers are working on that one.

I wouldn't get my hopes up, they've never put out DLCs that quickly before and Omega is technically just in time for the holiday season. Always expect the worst, that way you can be pleasantly surprised later.

Besides Omega's first info was showed in october more than a month before the release.

Maybe we will see a picture of the new DLC by the end of the month....

I wouldn't hold my breath on anything being shown until next year at this point. By that, I mean January at the earliest. Additionally, if this is indeed the final DLC as has been theorized, then a February/March release isn't all that unlikely.

Basically, it'll probably be a while before anything substantial is showcased, but I'm willing to wait if it means LOTSB-quality.

If the next DLC is in Bioware QA, it would mean that it still has to go
trhough MS/Sony certification process and that can take a while.

Mike Gamble said in an Interview (I believe it was Major Nelson's podcast) that Bioware Montreal started development for Omega right after ME3's release.

"Final DLC." Are you talking about the one that is in QA, or the one the writers are working on? I would believe the latter is the final one, if they are wanting to end it so quickly. That said, I don't think it will be. I just think the one released for the Anniversary is going to be a big one, probably LOTSB-sized/quality. Priestly said they have no timetable of when they are going to end the DLC, although some time next year would not surprise me now that ME4 is in production.

I was thinking under the assumption that only one more DLC is coming, actually. If one is already in QA, then I guess things are looking good from where we stand!

The way Hendriks was talking on Twitter a couple weeks ago, it seems almost like there are three DLCs cooking. The one he's been working on, and then 2 more. I'm not positive, though, one of the [redacted]'s he was talking about might have been ME4...

There was a list of supposed upcoming DLC from a while back, though it's not concrete info. I don't think this is going to be the last SP DLC, call it a gut feeling. There's long way to go between here and ME4, Bioware will want to keep working on ME3 til then.

I'm still banking money on the DLC being somehow related to an undiscovered Mass Relay, especially after playing through ME1 again (first FemShep campaign, whoo). The codex entry on Mass Relays says that there are some MRs whos destinations are unplotted, some for fear of discovering a new potentially hostile species. So yeah, would love that to be true.

Actually, less than 1% of the galaxy is mapped and explored. There are many dormant Mass Relays which "Citadel" species do not dare to activate. (But the Reapers reportedly use them frequently.)

Although I enjoyed the Omega DLC I do have to admit that there were parts that were very disappointing. For instances, hardly any results from our sidemissions from ME2 were shown and still we are shown no real result or consequence of the final ME2 decision. Oh, people hoping to get a new hub outside the Citadel were very much disappointed. Bummer. :(

Multiple hubs were one of ME2's real positives. It really made you feel that you were part of a larger galactic playground. I still remember the feeling of seeing those hub world for the first time. Ah. Good memories.

But we have hubs in ME3.

1. Citadel
2. Normandy
3. ...and the nothing happens zone in priority earth. 

sorry ,  guess this wounds never heal. :(

Not to put a damper on any expectations, but Jos clarified that all of the incidences of [redacted] were elements of the same project, not three separate DLCs. Click the link Vertigo_1 originally provided above and find Jos's most recent response in the comment section for confirmation.

Fair enough, I never followed up with it. Still, even if there aren't 3 more for sure coming, there are at least 2, the one that is QA, "Citadel" or whatever they are calling it, and the one with all the writers working on it...

And to completely quash it, that tweet refers to several different things that are all part of the same bigger thing. Can't/won't comment on what any of it is (yet), but I cover quite a few different things, so those [redacted]s referred to different things I do. Sorry for the confusion! :)(and let me throw an extra curve ball in your speculations that writers and QA can be working on the same thing at the same time as well)

As far as I can tell, there is currently only a single DLC in production.

It's finally reached a playable state, but it doesn't sound like it's ready for certification. It definitely won't be coming out this month.

The bones are being cagey, so I have to guess late January or early to mid February. (I think they're upset that BioWare missed the expected release window for Omega, which they correctly foretold.)

You're only making me wish more that this is what the DLC will be :P

Perhaps they are working on a straight up old school expansion pack!
