New details from the July issue of OXM has been leaked onto the internet and it is filled with talk of Mass Effect 2 information as well as DLC for the first title.

Bioware is working a substantial amount new DLC and will be the last thing between the two games in terms of content.

Most of the article discusses what Bioware will show at E3 in regards to Mass Effect 2. These details entail whether or not Shepard is dead, the new transit system, exploring new worlds, who you will play, and additional information on Thane.

More information are as follows:

* You will play as Shepard, but for how long is unknown
* There is a new species called the Drell and Thane is a new character who is an assassin and may join your party
* Planets – There will be a Krogan planet, and Illium, an Asari planet, that is like Coruscant from SW. Also there is “Omega” with is like an anti-Citadel in that it’s huge and it’s the bottom of the barrel whereas the Citadel is the height of civilization. Also a Cerebus mothership will act as a location of significance.
* Story – The ultimate story is still civilization fending off the Reapers, but this chapter will deal with this Cerebus corporation and it’s enigmatic leader. There are human civilizations disappearing and it’s up to Shepard to investigate, it’s termed as a “suicide mission” which may lead to the details of the teaser.
* New vehicle that controls better than the Mako…a “new” control scheme.
* Totally revamped inventory system
* Elevator system revamped where you will get the sense of scope of where you’re at and where you’re traveling.
* No more texture pop in.
* Secondary races like Volus and Elcor are much more mobile, giving more depth and makes things more interesting.
* Choices are more meaningful and there is a real risk that major support characters (i.e. anyone not Shepard) can and will die.
* Also on the story, they’re super-hyping the ending, saying that it’s much more grand meaningful in ME2.
* More weapons, more species, more/new team members.
* returning team members, locations, weapons.
