BioWare Announces Free ME3 Multiplayer DLC: Resurgence Pack, Operation: Beachhead Begins This Weekend

This weekend seems to be a big one for BioWare. On top of another Mass Effect 3 multiplayer community event, brand new multiplayer DLC has been announced which will include new maps, weapons and characters. Oh, it’s also free.

In a message coming in from General Hackett himself, “allied forces have matched Krogan mercs and Batarians with Asari justicars for unconventional warfare. Their mission: to create resistance on Reaper-occupied planets to tie down local Reapers.” What this really means is that all who participate in Operation: Beachhead across all platforms this weekend, including the PS3, will be granted a +25% XP bonus starting from 6PM PST Thursday April 5th, to 5AM PST Tuesday April 10th.

The recent pattern of events imply that these community affairs will take place on a weekly basis. Last weekend initiated Operation: Raptor, while the weekend before that saw Operation: Fortress, and the weekend before that, Operation: Goliath.

Funny BioWare should mention Krogan, Batarians and Asari as these races seem to be the stars of their recently announced, upcoming multiplayer DLC: Resurgence Pack.

Dropping on April 10th for Xbox 360 and PC worldwide and for PlayStation 3 owners on April 10th in North American and April 11th in Europe, the Resurgence Pack will include 2 brand new maps, 3 new weapons and 6 new characters. The best part about this DLC, you ask? It’s absolutely free. Check them out below along with the recently released announcement trailer! (Click on images for a bigger size.)
