BioWare has decided to release the Mass Effect 3: Resurgence Pack as free downloadable content which will expand the multiplayer component of the game.

The expansion will include new maps (Firebase Condor and Firebase Hydra), but also new weapons and a host of new characters to fill the different class roles – some from unexpected races.

Joining the Batarian Sentinel and Batarian Soldier are the Krogan Battlemaster Vanguard and Asari Justicar Adept. The Krogan Battlemaster is especially exciting for players, as they’ll get to charge in head-first, flinging biotic attacks everywhere.

The downloadable content will arrive on the 10th of April on the different platforms. BioWare also announced some further free downloadable content to add extra scenes to the ending of the game,but there’s currently no release for this.
