Mass Effect 3 Earth DLC heralded by stirring launch trailer

By Brenna Hillier

“The Earth is ours, and if they want it, they’ll have to go through us,” Anderson warns in this launch trailer for today’s free Mass Effect 3 multiplayer expansion, Earth.

The expansion adds three new maps – Rio, Vancouver and London – and six new classes, all N7 operatives. The new content has an emphasis on tight, agile play and introduces a brand new difficulty level.

The DLC is entirely free and rolling out on all platforms – although European PlayStation 3 players have to wait for tomorrow’s update. And yes, I do strongly resent the eight hours between me and Mass Effect 3, thanks for asking.
