I think you should forget about announcement as well as dlc for 4 weeks at least. Today other big titles are coming out, me3 cant compete with them.

Today cd project red announcement of witcher 3 and more info about cyberpunk, dragonborn comes out, dead space, and ofc crysis 3. There is no place for mass effect here.

They said it already: they will announce it mid-february, which means that they will release it sometime in March.

Tomorrow? Can't bring it home?

They're not generally allowed to take builds home, to the best of my knowledge - unless it's the director (e.g. Casey) or some such.

I remember Casey once tweeted about playing an unfinished ME3 build at home.

Makes sense, because then the employee won't leave it at a bar in California and Gizmodo won't pay to play around with it.

Or April, depending on when it's actually finished and how long certification takes. We'll probably get more information on that in a couple of weeks.

Dayum!, can't be much longer now surely?...

That is the first time I have heard about using a "build" for a DLC.  Using a system with a build gives me the impression that this may not be a typical DLC.  That might be me hyping a bit...

Nonetheless, getting closer and closer...

It's a nice thought, but unfortunately the term 'build' is just a general term used for a version of the game or DLC which could be at any stage of development. Builds can also be sent to the 'secret' part of Xbox Live, that is used by developers. This allows "work in progress" builds of a game to be deployed to any Xbox with the required clearance, for testing or simply for evaluation purposes to see how development is progressing.

Since everybody moved to other projects and only the QA department is working on (or was working on) the dlc, it is quite certain that it is almost finished. I don't think that certification would take more than a month.

Certification can easily take longer than a month, depending on whether the platform-holder is passing it quickly or not.

But let's assume that BioWare knows what they are doing...

Do you think we will ever see the devs playing the dlc's they made?, it would be intresting to see how they play there own games.

I remember seeing Mike Gamble playing a part of the Omega DLC.

You might see managers, artists or other staff playing the game, but you will unlikely see a programmer playing their own game outside of development. This is because they will be playing various aspects of the game, on and off, every day during development and testing. So, by the time the game is finished, they will have played the game more than anyone else ever will, ever, and generally can't face playing it again, even for fun. And so for this reason, you tend to find many programmers never actually playing the completed game they have worked on.
It's one of the downsides of working in the industry. So, for example, working for Bioware might sound like someones dream job, but you would lose the fun of playing their games if you are involved in their development.

I am pretty sure that BW is experienced enough to know how they quickly get DLCs and games certified.

It will certanly not take them till April to release the DLC. That´s just too far away if you consider what they already teased over twitter.

They know Microsoft and Sony good enough and for those 2 ME3 is a big game nontheless so I assume that a certification wouldn´t take over 1 month !!

I'm guessing the DLC is mostly done, now they're giving the employees the chance to test it, that'll take at least a week or two, then they'll send it off for Certification and they'll officially unveil the DLC (mid-February), and they'll release a trailer a bit before the DLC launches (March).

Is it possible they are aiming for March 6, one year after ME3 launched?

I´d say that this is the most likely date and the safest bet to be honest.

They still have 1 month left for the whole certification **** and considering that the DLC is pretty much done and is now tested by a few employees means that they are aiming for a march release.

April makes no sense if you consider that they started teasing in late January and said that it is basically done. Why wait till April in that case? March is the best bet

Should I be worried? He doesn't sound very excited about this... no smiley faces or "na-na nana naaaaaaa's"....

It almost sounds like he'll be playing it as a chore for work so he can talk about it when it releases....

Probably a case of the right tone not coming through Internet communication. It sounds like something I'd nonchalantly say if I were excited about doing something.

[Jadebaby]

Yeah, but it's "evil" Chris Priestly, he loves to rub it in that he gets to play stuff before us.. This doesn't convey that well enough...

[Leonia]

Maybe he's trying out not being evil, seeing as how often it gets him "into trouble" in the past (given that through no fault of his, whatever he says gets twisted around by the fans). Really wouldn't read more into it than that.

[Nitrocuban]

March 6th for SP DLC is _very_ likely, I hoped MP DLC would be released a earlier but atm it seems both are released together.

[Lieber]

Rest in Peace, Robin Sachs (voice actor for Zaeed).

I'm hearing the actor Robin Sachs, who voiced Zaeed, among other roles, has died. I'll miss him; He was an absolute pleasure to work with.

*sigh* It is like people are looking for an excuse to be worried. Certainly in this case, this is a pretty odd claim. Twitter is 144 characters. Hard to post info, a picture AND be excited in one post.

Yes, I am very excited to play the new DLC. Where'd I put that image of fireworks and a marching band?
