The latest downloadable content for Mass Effect 2 from Bioware, dubbed "Arrival", has been hinted at for quite some time but now it looks like it may actually be, well, arriving sooner rather than later.

BioWare is announcing today Mass Effect: Arrival, the thrilling final mission for Mass Effect 2. Available for download on March 29, 2011, Mass Effect: Arrival will also include three new achievements for the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system and PC and three new trophies on PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system.

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).
Word has it that Arrival, the latest adventure for Commander Shepard and crew, will arrive on Xbox Live Marketplace on March 29th for a yet undisclosed price. Bioware hasn't confirmed the details yet, but they have slowly but surely been releasing screenshots from Arrival, so a release date shouldn't be far off.
