Word has been leaked about the contents of Mass Effect 3’s first DLC, and it looks to be a doozy. It should be noted, however, that this article contains at the very least minor spoilers for the DLC, and possibly major spoilers for the game as a whole.
So what’s in this DLC that might spoil the game for some people? According to the Xbox Marketplace listing, the DLC is titled “Mass Effect 3: From Ashes” and states in its description “(u)nearth lost secrets from the past and recruit the Prothean squad member in Mass Effect 3: From Ashes.”
Wow. Considering how the Protheans were extinct in the previous Mass Effect games, to see one of perhaps a handful of survivors is kind of surprising. It makes me think that if they have a DLC with a Prothean squad member in it, then perhaps we’ll be seeing more Protheans in the main game as well? For all we know, the Protheans might be the key to defeating the Reapers! I suppose, though, that we won’t find out until March 6th, when the game, and presumably the DLC is released.
