Mass Effect 3 Earth DLC On The Way?

BioWare is said to be making another multiplayer expansion for Mass Effect 3. The expansion, simply called Earth, takes place on everyone's favorite blue and green planet.

According to the Reddit tipster, the DLC features three new co-op maps set in Rio, Vancouver and London. Players will be able to acquire the Pirahna assault shotgun, Acolyte pistol and Typhon light machine gun through supply packs. They can also earn access to six new classes for human characters: Destroyer, Paladin, Demolisher, Slayer, Shadow and Fury.

The only part of the rumor that really seems "off" is the list of new classes. Those names sound more like fantasy classes than sci-fi. I can't really imagine what sorts of abilities each will possess. Perhaps some of them will have all new skills at their disposal?

Obviously any random tipster on the Internet. Still, this same user apparently outed the previous multiplayer DLC, "Rebellion," as well. That's gotta count for something.

The person leaking the information on Earth also claims that the Extended Cut DLC for ME3 is finished as well. Extended Cut is the free add-on that will flesh out the game's ending. It's not clear when either DLC pack will arrive, but BioWare previously estimated that Extended would be released this summer.
