EA chief operation officer John Schappert has told Kotaku that the company is planning "something far-reaching" for the Mass Effect franchise in early 2011. Mass Effect 3, maybe? Apparently Bioware's project manager Casey Hudson has said they "definitely want to make Mass Effect 3 a fairly short turnaround," and early 2011 would (conveniently) be a fairly short turnaround.

In the meantime, though, there's some new Cerberus Network DLC (that's the free stuff to first-time buyers) going out today, according to Bioware guy Chris Priestly on the official forum:

• Cerberus Assault Armor - Cerberus assault armor is designed for shock troops, turn the tide of battle against creatures or forces that would decimate normal soldiers.
  • Increases heavy weapon ammo capacity by +10%
  • Increases shields by +10%
  • Increases health by +10%
• M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun - The M-22a Eviscerator Shotgun is a longer-range shotgun with armor-piercing loads. This design also violates several intergalactic weapons treaties, so the M-22a is not distributed to militaries.

Why does this stuff always have to arrive after I've already finished the game? The stuff is set to drop around 12:00 Mountain Standard Time, which translates to 19:00 in proper time.
