Mass Effect 2 for PS3 Will Include DLC and Intro Content

After chatting up BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka during GamesCom, VG247 has learned that the newly unveiled PlayStation 3 version of Mass Effect 2 will have the game’s post-release DLC integrated on the disc and will sport some kind of introductory experience for first-time Mass Effect players.

One of the things we’re doing is that we’re bringing a lot of the post-release downloadable content and will integrate it into the experience, so that PS3 fans can check that out and play it,) he said.

While confirming the inclusion of an introductory segment for the PS3 SKU, Muzyka was cagey on specifics, refusing to confirm whether or not new gameplay is to be included over the 360 and PS3 version.

(We’re making sure there’s a really seamless introduction to the world of Mass Effect, for players that haven’t experienced it before,) he said.

(So even though it’s Mass Effect 2 specifically, we’re making sured there’s a nice introduction experience, that provides the back-story and the things that have happened up to that point in the universe, and makes it a really seamless introduction.)

He added: (We haven’t revealed what that is yet. It’ll be something that provides a good introduction and provides a lot of the back-story and introduces you well to the story-arc, and kind of makes you feel like you’re part of it all. And then you can jump right into the action in Mass Effect 2.)
