BioWare has confirmed that the Cerberus Daily News feed is going dark on 24 January 2011, just ahead of its one-year anniversary. The Cerberus Network news updates included all kinds of random reports from around the Mass Effect universe, often satirically analogous to real-world events. I’m sure the two people who actually read them will be sad about this.
It’s not all bad news, though – the developer has also confirmed, somewhat inadvertently, that a final Mass Effect 2 DLC add-on is incoming.
In the announcement about the feed going offline, BioWare says that, “Daily postings will cease except for three weeks in 2011. A week of posts will precede a downloadable content release, and two more weeks will lead up to the release of Mass Effect 3.”
Mass Effect 3 is scheduled to drop around the end of 2011, so that final DLC launch could be ages off.
