Update: Added screenshots.

Over on the Bioware Mass Effect forums, one of the community coordinators has announced the “Bring Down the Sky” DLC.  It is said to be about 90 minutes worth of gameplay and have the ability to score 50 more gamerscore.  Not too bad for 5 bucks.

The Bring Down the Sky downloadable content pack will be released to Xbox LIVE Marketplace on Monday, March 10 at 2 a.m. PST, and will be available for 400 MS points. This is the first in a series of planned downloadable content that further expands the Mass Effect universe.

Bring Down the Sky includes a new uncharted world that introduces the notorious and feared alien race of the Batarians. A Batarian extremist group has hijacked a mobile asteroid station in the Asgard system, setting it on a collision course with the nearby colony world of Terra Nova. Only Commander Shepard can save the millions of innocent civilians before the asteroid completes its deadly descent.
