At their Summer Showcase today, EA/Bioware confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will receive a continuation to its a single-player campaign, with the  new ‘Leviathan’ downloadable content for PC, 360 and PS3.

Taking place during the Mass Effect 3 campaign itself, ‘Leviathan’ aims to explore the origin of the Reapers and also the titular beast itself, capable of outright destroying a Reaper with ease.

The official blurb on the expansion straight from the horses mouth is below:

“Mass Effect 3: Leviathan is the first story-driven, single player DLC to be made available since Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut. Leviathan expands upon the events of Mass Effect 3 with gripping and emotional storytelling, compelling new characters, powerful weapons and unique upgrades. Players will be able to discover more about the origins of the reapers as they race across the galaxy to unravel the mystery that surrounds the fabled Leviathan.”

In addition to the PR gush above, EA have also released the first trailer for the DLC which you can see below.  Hopefully this marks the start of some more single-player focused DLC for the game:
