    Daily updates from Mass Effect 2's "Cerberus Daily News" ticker will cease on Jan. 24 as the service makes a transition into what appears to be a primer role for new Mass Effect content coming in 2011. A total of three weeks of updates are planned for 2011, according to a recent CDN posting. One week of content will precede one more ME2 DLC release, while two weeks will precede the release of Mass Effect 3.

    The writers behind CDN have been filing in-character reports for the Mass Effect intergalactic news organization on a daily basis since late January 2010. These one-to-two paragraph updates tend to be more entertaining than fiction-building, but there have been a few informative posts over the past year that flesh out the universe of ME2 and beyond. If you're interested in pouring over all of them in light of this news, most appear to be available over at the unofficial Mass Effect wiki page.

    The Jan. 2, 2011 update is the posting that revealed the upcoming hiatus. "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," it reads. 

    No details on this forthcoming bit of ME2 DLC have been made public, but it's been said before that developer BioWare will "start to have packs that'll tell the story between ME2 and ME3." Perhaps this next one will be the big, meaningful bridge content fans have been waiting for.

    ME2 was the first game to really sell me on post-release DLC so I'm really happy to hear that they keep coming with it.

    It's pretty awesome that a full year after release, new ME2 DLC is coming, especially if it is the rumored "bridge" content.

    Hopefully this will be one of the awesome DLCs, like Shadow Broker or Overlord, and not one of the.... um..... less than stellar DLC's like firewalker.

    So what will replace the updates? Are they going to cycle the old updates for the PS3 crowd? Because if you're going to get this on the PS3 you haven't heard anything about this stuff.

    Having just recently finished ME2 for the third time, I will happily play it yet again if they release more meaningful DLC. 
     
    Should probably play at least once as an evil bastard, aswell.

    First story of the the year is about the previous year's game of the year. Coincidence or something more sinister?

    To be fair, Firewalker was a free DLC and was clearly more of a beta for Overlord.

    Nizice! I'm putting z's in things! How 1998.... Just just beat the shadow broker and finished the third novel. Bring on the next DLC and let's play Mass Effect 3. No rush Bioware, take your time and knock it out of the park.

    I hope the new DLC is not arena battles like they put out for ME1 before ME2 came out. Granted I never played that ME1 DLC but the concept just put me off and I've played that concept in too many Bioware games.

    Im hoping for DLC that blends the content from the 3 Premium DLC like the party scene from kasumi, the combat heavy action sequences from LOTSB and vehicle sections that have a more exploratory feel.

    Where all the 'news' is posted like a news blog and there is some nice role-playing going on in the comments.

    Looks like it. The Ps3 version will include all past dlc but I think were going to have to buy this one.

    I remember the Cerberus News reports about the bombing on Taetrus, which destroyed the city of Vallum. It was quite a major running story throughout April and May. I can understand them ending though, adn they've been running for a good while now.

    What's up with that visor in the pic?  I had a similar visor but it was always vertical and covered only one eye.  My Shep was male though, is that why it's different?

    Yeah, people should check that out. It's not something a lot of people really seem to notice, but I think BioWare did some cool stuff with the Cerberus daily updates. While absolutely not essential to the story, it gives the ME universe even more color than it already had.

    That would work exceedingly well if the game is indeed going to be mostly about earth.  A whole CNN style news ticker that incorporates ME-Earth's current media style would show some charm.  But that is something for another forum.  Off I go.

    Another, bigger DLC like the shadowbroker would be awesome.
