Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 2's upcoming DLC will be called Arrival. ME fans who recently downloaded an update to the PS3 version of the game noticed trophy listings for an upcoming DLC pack called "Arrival." The pack is expected to be the final piece of DLC designed to bridge the gap between Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3.  One of the trophies, "Covert Action," mentions Dr. Amanda Kenson who was also mentioned in a Cerberus news update:

Historians and astronomers alike are abuzz tonight over a new paper published by Dr. Amanda Kenson of the University of Arcturus ... "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." ... 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?"

The trophies weren't supposed to be made live just yet. BioWare' Jesse Houston confirmed in the BioWare forums, "we just assumed that they would be invisible.  Lesson learned :)." Mass Effect fans are speculating on what the DLC will actually contain. Houston said in another post we'd hear more details "as soon as I get a green light from PR and Marketing I promise!"

What do you think the Arrival refers to? My money is on the first signs of Reapers on earth before the major invasion we saw in the first Mass Effect 3 teaser trailer.

    I'm pretty new to the ME universe as I just picked it up on PS3 2 weeks ago. I'm taking my time going through it and just enjoying it. It's cool that there's another piece of DLC coming. This should be good!

    So now it starts... Free vs Pay?
    PlayStation NetWork vs XboxLive?

    It should be that all networks to be compatible, let me explain, Example I have a Xbox and playing BlackOps, and my friend has a PS3 and playing BlackOps, we should be able to join a network and play together each on our own systems...
    Could happen?

    My money is "Arrival" explains how the Reapers are able to strike earth and gives Shepherd a hint on how to eliminate them as well; perhaps a secret weapon the Prothean's created to defeat the Reapers but for some X reason wasn't used. Whether this is it or not, either way, excited!

    I really did not expect anymore DLC, this is a very welcome surprise. ME has the potential to be the best video game series ever! Once more into the breech folks, once more. Then ME3 YEAH!!!
    It will prob be about the reapers, but there is potential for something totally unexpected.

    I'm hoping that this is the Virmire Survivor DLC that I (and probably everyone else) have been waiting for.

    I love that since the trophies are out, they are just like "oh, crap... well, there they are, everyone. Enjoy :)" Instead of the usual "OMFG MISTAKE!!!! HIDE THEM!!!! PLAYERS SAW NOTHING!!!" :P

    I think the Mass Effect fandom will revolt if Garrus isnt in the third one, at least I will be :P all of the DLC for ME2 have been really good, especially The Shadow Broker one, so hopefully this will kick ass as well

    Does anyone else see the signs regarding the Reaper's origins? In Mass Effect 1, Liara mentioned a race that predated the Protheans, and now this Kenson woman is finding evidence of a pre-Prothean race. In Mass Effect 2 (SPOILER ALERT) the Geth were becoming self-aware in the same way that the Reapers are. Does anyone else think that the pre-Protheans created the Reapers? There are so many signs that point in that direction....
