In
Mass Effect: Arrival,
Commander Shepard is sent to the edge of the galaxy to rescue an
undercover operative who may have evidence of an imminent Reaper
invasion that has been looming since the very beginning of the series.
Returning and playing a prominent role in
Mass Effect: Arrival is fan favorite Admiral Hackett, who is voiced by legendary science-fiction actor Lance Henriksen (
Alien,
Terminator).
“All year, we have been extremely honored and humbled by the reception we have received for
Mass Effect 2 from players around the world, including our post release DLC”, said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer,
