No one's really sure. It could be an expansion - like Awakening for Dragon Age: Origins, or it could be only DLC - like Lair of the Shadow Broker. Either way it'll be good, because we'll get more missions for Mass Effect 2.

What's it going to be?

An expansion that needs mass effect 2 installed

Or a self standing title like ACB
