New Mass Effect 2 Character Revealed

Electronic Arts today revealed an all-new playable character in the Mass Effect 2 universe, a master thief named Kasumi.

The new character will appear this April in North America and Europe, via the Kasumi – Stolen Memory Premium DLC pack, which will introduce Kasumi Goto, the galaxy’s most enigmatic and cunning master thief.

In addition to being able to recruit Kasumi in all new missions, people with the new content will also be able to utilize her special skills as a member of Commander Shepard’s squad throughout the entire game.

The story of Kasumi sees her ask for Commander Shepard’s help on a dangerous heist to infiltrate the vault of a deadly master criminal named Donovan Hock. You must gain Kasumi’s loyalty on the planet Bekenstein, where Hock is throwing a party for some of the galaxy’s richest and most deranged criminal minds.

The mission: recover data of great importance to Kasumi, and to the galaxy at large. In addition to this new mission, anyone who purchases the content will also receive a new research upgrade, one new weapon, and a new achievement in this PDLC pack.

The Kasumi – Stolen Memory PDLC pack will be available for 560 Microsoft points when released in April.
