It was not all that long ago that rumors of a new Mass Effect 3 DLC surfaced, but then BioWare quickly shot it down. The studio said the details of it were not true, but now it sounds like only the release date was false. BioWare has announced the new Rebellion DLC for Mass Effect 3 will arrive next week to expand the multiplayer portion of the RPG. The DLC will be free to every PC, PS3, and 360 Mass Effect 3 owner on May 29th, and includes two new maps, three new weapons, and six new classes to play. The two maps, Firebase Jade and Firebase Goddess, will be available right from the get go, however the weapons and classes will have to be unlocked via Reinforcement Packs. You will be able to play as the Vorcha Soldier or Sentinel, Quarian Engineer or Infiltrator, and Ex-Cerberus Adept or Vanguard. The three new weapons are the Reegar Carbine Shotgun (a larger version of the arc pistol), the Cerberus Harrier Assault Rifle (a fully automatic Mattock rifle), and the Krysae Sniper Rifle (a Turian-designed anti-material rifle). There are also new in-mission objectives and an extra gear slot in the Rebellion DLC, so be sure to get it downloaded on May 29th!
