Not content with the free extended ending they gifted players, BioWare is all set to release a free multiplayer expansion pack for Mass Effect 3 this week. Entitled Retaliation, the new content will not only include two Turian kits that players can unlock, but will also allow them to square off against the antagonistic Collectors.
Retaliation will also mark the beginning of the Challenge System, a new multiplayer rewards system that will award Challenge Points to players who complete “various multiplayer assignments and feats of strength.” These Challenge Points can then be exchanged for in-game titles and banners that you can display to the charred remains of your enemies your friends.
In addition to this the new content, the development team has upgraded existing maps with weather hazards such as lightning strikes and sandstorms to truly test the mettle of the Mass Effect 3 multiplayers out there.
Mass Effect 3: Retaliation will be available to download in North America on October 9th and in Europe the following day.
